and let me know if it work.
PPC-DOC

Same problem
Hi guys...I am quite new to the whole XDA thing...got a second hand XDA mini S, did a hard reset to start fresh. Trying to use it with Vodafone sim card though. Sim card seems ok, I can send and receive txt messages, but unable to make and receive calls, same problem...starts dialing and then shows 0.00 call ended, no signals, no beeps, nothing...tried with a headset, same stuff....I rang Vodafone to see if they can help with the call settings but they werent very helpful, as the phone is not one of theirs, they just said speak to O2, well I cant really as it is a second hand handset.
I was advice form Vodafone that perhaps the phone is locked to O2 and thats why it can't make any calls, but i can send and receive txt messages and the sim card is read as normal....i am quite confused. I have not tried to do any unlocking on the phone as the sim card seemed to work fine...Can anyone help....Can this be a result from the hard reset I've done..I read somewhere that other people were unable to make calls after hard reset.......

They maybe IMEI blocked, e.g. insurance claimed phone, stolen phone, etc. I think you can call them and see if the IMEI has been blocked. Search the forum, IMEI blocked issue have been discussed here.

Sorry for the stupid question but can you send me a link or directions how can I find a solutions to this IMEI blocked issue. Is there a software to unblock or change? Have not rang O2 to check, but I have the feeling that they will reffer me to the ebay seller.....as I am not a O2 customer, thats what they kind of said to me before.

You don't call O2.. just call your network service (Orange, T-Mobile, etc) providers, they may able to help you to check. Or just google for "IMEI block blacklist" for information.

If he can send and received text then its not IMEI barred, once a phone is IMEI bared you'll be unable to register with the network at all, and would look like the phone is SIM locked or just not getting signal.
It could be either, a bar on the network, low signal, or something weird with the SIM. Check the sim in another phone, if you can make calls its a hardware issue, if not then its a network issue

Thanks for the advice, sim card is working fine with other handsets, it's just a normal contract Voda sim card. Still can't get it to work with the XDA though. Did second hard reset and same stuff....can send/receive messages but canNOT make/receive calls. Does any one know if this may be result of the hard reset and is there any way of fixing it. If it is a hardware problem as suggested previously what is the way of sorting it out?

Me again...just tried it with O2 sim card....very strange...kept searching for the network for more than 10 min and nothing happened....had to turn it off at the end. 3 card don't work as well, same situation...searching for network....The Vodafone sim card seems to be the only one that gets full reception straight away but then again the problem with making calls remains...I have no idea what network the device was issued on before...

still cant get it to work tried all your ideas
nooooo i really like this phone but cant use it as a phone
do you know where i can get the cid unlocking proggy tried search but lost it

Does any one have mobile justice working with Artemis?

HI All;
Mobile Justice is an anti-theft program which can give back the gps co-ordinates through sms.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
I installed v0.9.But it did not recognize the change of SIM.
I read from here that it works.
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1815145&forum_id=626848
Does any one here have it working?

no. i alwas want to try it. but i have not try yet.

Yes I have it installed but I have only tested the SMS Requests and I received back a SMS with the gps co-ordinates.

me too, just installed today and SMS reporting was working, GPS not tested because i was in a building...everything else seems to run fine.
Cheers

It Works?

It just sent a SMS with the text "Unknown SIM Card" when the "wrong" SIM was insert. Just installed the cab, set up the SIM-Monitor and it was running.
Did you also add another number where to report ? Will test GPS option and report back. Cheers
Edit:
This tool is sooo coooooool, it's running perfect, sending me GPS coordinates and does everything i want!
Send SMS with password and command - Just enable Remote monitor, and enable everything
Examples:
Pass phrase = zlo, RMon enabled, GPS and MsgBox commands allowed
If you want to get GPS coordinates you should send next SMS message:
zlo +g
If you want phone to display message box you should send next SMS message:
zlo +m preved!!!
To perform both task simultaneously
zlo +g +m preved!!!

The same to me It send a SMS with the text "Unknown SIM Card" when the "wrong" SIM was inserted.

I tried about 1 month ago.
as i remember it worked perfectly. (i wanted to cook into my rom but i did not have time for it.)
the GPS lock was very slow, but maybe because i was standing next to the window not outside.

Hey Rambo,
I don't understand what's exactly your problem, sorry....
For me it was running as expected. After reading the readme everything was doing the way it should. I just added my SIM as allowed and a friends number to report to.
Then i put in another SIM - my friend got an SMS with the number.
Now he was able to reply with my password and command (for example: +g) - one minute later he got an sms with the coordinates. Everything works really fine on my device, and he could ask for the coordinates whenever he wanted - he always got an answer.
Cheers

Hi Peter;
The Problem is it doesn't report when the SIM is changed.I added the current SIM as allowed.And friend's number to report to.And when the SIM was changed there was nothing

sorry Rambo, i don't have problems. using Meschle's Touch 2.1 full, which ROM are you using ? Maybe it's depending ? Sorry that i can't help you ....
Maybe you'll find an answer on the MJ-forum ?

thnx

Thanks peter.I will try it again.

Hi,
I have thought about using this but is part of its usefulness is hopefully to prevent anyone using the phone with another sim. I know it may tell you where the phone is as well.
That leads me to my question. Does it prevent a scummy theif going into bootloader and romming the phone, thus bypassing any lock?

Strange problem with my Artemis

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.

codes like *101*2# not working?

Hi experts
Whenever I dial codes like *101*2#, it keeps displaying "waiting". These were working before, but then it stopped and stacked at "waiting"
I tried in Nokia with same sim and it responded back with proper information.
I have installed different roms on my Hermes (SPV M3100) but it is not working.
I also confirmed from Mobile Operator company but they also said, it could be your mobile problem.
Any idea/help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Are you sure these are not JUST for nokia phones?

Thanks for reply
These codes are not phone specific. Instead these are Mobile Operator specific.
Like *101*2# is to check my remaining SMS bundle.
*111# is to check my remaining balance in Prepaid account.

Ahhh ok.
Which ROM are you using?
Have you run 'connection setup'?

Windows Mobile 6.5 23047 has broken codes support.

Wich dialer are you using????
default? i dont think so... if you are using another than the default, please open de advanced config... go to "phone" then in "skin" set "no"... "done" softreset coming then try again....
I can do it on my prepaid line too *133# it returns me my info correctly

I'm observing the behavior of these codes since some days and I've got to know that these codes are not working in some specific area, while working in another area.
In the area where these codes are not working, there are no mobile phone Jamming Devices or anything else. But this is highly security zone of the city.
But funny thing is, if I put same SIM in Nokia phone, these worked even in that high security area where my Orange SPV M3100 is not working. And this is where me and mobile operator are confused.

Windows Mobile 6.5 23047 have problem with ussd ( Unstructured Supplementary Service Data ) network messages *xxx#
We have same problem on TAI rom 23047 build ( for HTC Hermes )
Now im waiting for a new release to fix this problem...

No Service ("Searching...")

Yesterday my HTC Excalibur stopped receiving calls, text messages and would not make calls.
I turned the phone off, took the battery and SIM Card out, put it in 5 minutes later hoping it would work again, it did not.
I did a reset of the phone (accessories, clear storage, 1234), that did not work.
This morning I tried swapping SIM cards with someone else (to see if was the service provider). Both SIM Cards worked in my friends Sony Ericsson but neither worked in my HTC Excalibur.
I have the 3V0 Windows Mobile 6.5 installed.
Is there a way I can fix this?

No, I don't know how.
The phone came with it installed. I bought it new, but the seller installed WM 6.5 before shipping, so it's more like open box.
How long does it take? Should I leave that as a last resort?
Is there anything I can tweak on my phone right now?

EDIT: OP shared more info related via PM, thread re-open.
As I sent you via PM, hard reset or reflash your device. If that doesn't work get a new sim from your carrier since it can be network related.

reflashed to 6.1 but still no luck.
Again I tried another working sim from the same carrier, both sims work in my friends phone, but neither work on my s620.

I'v been in contact with jockyw2001 for his Excalibur Sim Unlock.
I just don't understand why I have to pay someone for this, I just bought the phone less than a month ago and it's been working perfectly.
How did this happen? How did my phone get locked?

Yes, the phone radio is on.

Now sometimes it says Rogers Wireless rather than searching.
But when I call someone, it does everything but complete the call. It just beeps twice and says 00:00.

That's the last resort my friend....when a doctor doesn't know what the patient has...he opens to see what's the problem .
This is something that you do it at your own risk, maybe you have some dirt inside that needs to be clean.
Good luck,

Hey guys,
I am now able to send texts. But I can't receive texts, make calls or receive calls.

any suggestions?

I filed a claim on eBay. That seems to be the best option.
