Hi
In my Joey 1010 there is a BAND option that let me switch from Europe to US. Is this possible? Can the Joey do this? I'm going to the states in Sep that's why I'm asking
I got Telia for Operator and live in Sweden. Anybody knows if they roam in the US?
//Lasse :?:
nobosy knows if the xda 1010 can do the US band??
//Lasse
If you have searched the forum, you would have senn, that some people reporst it works fine, and for other people it didn´t work.
Just try it, you can´t damage the phone (this way)....

Hi,
My name is Fernando, I am writing from Costa Rica, Central America. I Just got a Palm Tungsten W, but it is lock for ATT use only. Do you know if someone recently has find the way to unlock the SIM, to use with other carries abroad.
Do you know if I can use your xda manipulador to unlock it???
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Fernando
No. The XDA manipulator only works for HTC PocketPC Phone Edition phones, such as the O2 XDA, T-Mobile MDA, Qtek 1010 or any of the other names the device goed by.
The Palm Tungsten W is a Tri-band GSM phone, but I couldn't quickly identify who makes the GSM/GPRS module inside. If it's made by Texas Instruments, you may be able to use the same unlocking trick we use in The Manipulator, but you'd have to write your own software to do so.
unlocking from ATT
Thank you, for your answer. One of my problems is that nobody knows who made the module. Can you find out? Or you have a way to show me how to investigate it?
Fernando :?:
If anyone figures out how to do this, please let me know. I need this unlocked asap.
Hi everyone. Great programme thanks but can anyone tell me why my Vodafone contract SIM won't work? I get a signal fine, It detects the Vodafone network fine. But every call drops before connection with Unable to Place Call message. Also will not take incoming calls. My Orange Pay as You Go SIM now works fine... and it has definitely unlocked as only O2 worked before. But I need Vodafone SIM to work.
The Vodafone SIM still works in all other handsets. I have also checked with Vodafone and they say there is no reason why the SIM should not work in un unlocked XDA. There are no calls barred on the account.
Is it a setting I have wrong? Or something I did wrong in the unlocking process? Many thanks for anyone's help.
My XDA is Pocket PC 2002, 32mb RAM
Rom Version: 3.12.07 eng
Rom Date. O8.13.02
Radio Ver: 4.06
Protocol 32S54

Hi mate,
I have used the unlocked 64 mb xda with vodaphone with no problems. My rom was 3.16 and radiostack 4.20 and it wasn't any problem. Now I have upgraded to the good old xda rom from Jeff's kitchen and new radio stack from O2. I suggest you do the same and it will problably work better.
Good luck.
Cheers
Vic
I would wait a day before trying anything else, the phone is obviously unlocked to both 900 and 1800 mhz networks. I have had experience with Vodafone and T Mobile and Virgin recently where no calls could be placed for many hours, next day everything was normal, some kind of network problem. Have you tried the sms using the Voda sim, also what message does a caller get when trying to call you if you have the Voda sim inserted.
One more thing, I think it says somewhere that if you upgrade the radio stack to 4.21 then the unlock no longer works, so it would be better to get this solved before you upgrade the stack.
Thanks for your suggestions guys. But the Voda SIM works fine in my other phones and I have just tried it again in the XDA and same thing happens. Unable To Place Call. So it's not the network.
When I try to dial in to the Voda SIM on XDA I just hear a long tone...dead. It is a very early XDA. Don't know if that makes a difference.
Any help gratefully received as running out of ideas. Is there a manufacturer that may be able to help? But then they probably know less than you. I doubt if O2 will want to!
Many thanks again
Dave
Oh and Cruisin-Thru
SMS does work both ways...just the voice calls that don't. Any clues?
Thanks v much
dave :?
Have you tried manually setting the network under settings/phone/network, try choosing that and see what happens.
I have yes.
It's detecting Vodafone network fine. Just no calls. It's almost as if there's a call bar on though Voda tell me there isn't and it works in all other handsets.
Thanks anyway
Dave
One other thing, is that a very old sim card? Have you tried another voda sim in the xda, I remember having strange problems with some phones with the earlier sim cards, dont know the difference between them though.
Hi there, thanks. It doesn't work on any Vodafone SIMS. But all other networks. Vodafone say they don't know anything about the XDA and it must be a hardware fault..
Could it be that it is not unlocked "properly"? Should I run manipulator again? Think may have to give up on this one.
Thanks Dave
Hi everybody,
i just do some updates to my XDA ...
first i do the 4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile US rom... end all ok.
after i do the T-Mobile RU 6.24.00 and i never take the GSM service (i live in Italy)
after i do the AT&t A 20.10 and i never take the GSM service also
last i return at O2 4.21 that i hate because every time that i lost the GSM service, he never come back until reset...
Is there some way to take a european GSM service with some T-Mobile os AT&T radio stack please ?
Thanks all
Denis
did you switch to the 800 band? if its set to 1900 (for the us) you won't get a signal. you should get coverage on the 800 frequency.
This is a well known problem among many users. I have been "fighting" against this since some weeks. I almost tried everything. Even when I tried a T-mobile radio stack together with a T-Mobile SIM-Card (Austria) it did not work properly. After some hours it loses the signal and a soft reset is required. I never had any errors during installation of ROMs or radio stacks.
I am wondering if it would make sense to bring it in for service.
My last hope is an update of the radio stack (maybe together with the WM2003 update).
At the end of the day I can say that the XDA is not the thing I need. Maybe the XDA2 is better.
Exactly for this reason i want to change my XDA with XDA II... but in Italy is only some XDA II buyed from Germany... well have german language os.
Anyware... if somebody now how to make funntional the T-Mobile radio stack in europe ... please let me know.
Thanks all
Denis
It appears that the best thing going right now for you European users is the latest Qtek 1010 Radio Stack Upgrade.
It can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING
Also from the looks of the site this RS might be pretty close to the one thats being used in the XDAII....?
HTH
How do you know that this is the best RSU for Europe ?
Any personal experience ?
Romania (yes ... it's Europe)
Here I'm using a T-Mobile US phone with 6.24.00 with no problems, including GPRS.
I've also a custom built 4.00.21 (and I can't wait for the 4.01.00 :wink: )
So it should work without problems on the 900 band. The 1900 is no use and also you cannot get to the 1800 since hardware defaults.

There are a lot of dutch P3300 or MDAC3 users that seem to have problems with the reception. I myself have this problem as well and even whenh I have all bars for reception on my MDA get the voicemail when I call myself.
If I then call "Outside" for examply my voicemail, the problem is solved and the phone rings when I call it. It seems some kind of weird sleep mode ???
Are there any dutch mobile phone users that had the same problems and fixed it by upgrading their rom?? If so, which ROM did you install?
Almost all T-Mobile users in Holland have this problem. The problem is known to both HTC and T-Mobile, and they are apparently working to find a solution.
Some people have even gotten temporary replacement phones (such as a Vario) until the problem is solved.
OK, so it is the T-mobile network that causes the problem.
This means that if I would go to Vodaphone or KPN the problem would be solved?
As I understand it, yes.
I have a regular P3300 on Telfort/KPN and don't seem to have reception problems.
OK,
I know enough.... I will cancel my subscription with T-Mobile and will go to KPN
hmmm. ok. Why post it here when this problem has broadly been discussed on the tweakers.net forum?
anyway, you know that there is no solution for the T-Mobile network.

Yes there is..... KPN in this case
I have already aclled t-mobile to cancel my subscription and have opened a subscription on KPN network
I have unlocked my MDA and will install a different ROM and run it on this network
I guess it is too late, but are you using the T-Mobile MDA Compact III?
I am using T-Mobile (Netherlands) with the HTC P3300 English version and I am getting better reception than ever did with my last phone & carrier.
I've even had great reception in the middle of Hornbach
Maybe it has something to do with the actual phone and not the provider
Bad reception
I have the same problem with the MDA compact 3 in combination with T-Mobile. I understand that you changed from the dutch version to the english version. Can you explain me how to do that.
Thanks in advance

I unlocked my MDA via IMEI.co.uk and afterward I first installed the official Dopod Rom followed by the Powermap ROM. Since then I don't have any problems.
I figure that this is because both the roms use a different (higher) radio rom version then the T-mobile ROM
same problem

T-mobile and P3300
I have a connection from T-Mobile and the network is good with P3300.No complaints
Hi,
I'm french and on a 6 days trip to Tokyo.
I cannot receive any network.
Can someone tell me if it's normal not to get anything or should I do something special to get a network ?
Thanks in advance
It -should- work...
Hm, it -ought- to work if you're using a hermes or other quadband phone...
not sure what the issue could be without more details, but you could try creating a new modem connection to Softbank:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298031&highlight=softbank+proxy
Not sure if this will interfere with any settings you've already got on there, however, and also not sure if/how you'll be charged.
If your phone is unlocked, I've been told by the Softbank stores in Meguro and Nakameguro that they will sell you a SIM card on a basic plan if you bring in your phone and let them test it with a Softbank SIM. I guess this wont help your net settings, however...

japan has a 3G(UMTS) network - the TyTN will work.
BUT, you need to check with your service provider that they have a roaming agreement with one of japans networks.
Once I read that Vodafone works but it's the only Italian carrier that has this option, so I guess elivne is right!
