Time for a few more questions....!!
Hi,
Does your phone display the "U" (or 3G) symbol to denote that 3G coverage is available?? I looked at your website to get your location and plugged it into http://enableoci.orange.co.uk/uk/UKCoverageSearch.htm (I used the town rather than the postcode to get an overall coverage map) - it looks a bit patchy to me (for your work postcode, the local area looks pretty good); I guess it depends on whether you're using the phone at work or when you're out and about?
Do you know what radio version is on your phone; has it been updated with one of the radios and/or ROM's from this site or does it have the standard issue Orange radio? You can find out by going to Start | Settings | System tab | Device information. If the radio version is >= 1.38.x.x then you should be fine (although some people on Orange have reported that radio 1.41.x.x is not as good as 1.40.x.x - opinions vary ).
Do you or any colleagues have another Orange 3G phone that works where yours doesn't?? We need to establish whether the problem is just with your phone or whether it is in fact related to the 3G coverage generally.
Let me know how you get on
Mark.
Hi Mark,
My mission is to get this phone working on Vodafone 3g. I was testing Orange to see if it was a network problem.
I am now at my office and when in phone mode it now displays
UMTS Orange and the 3g signal, calls and browsing are now allowed!!
Here is the device info:
Rom Version 2.11.255.1
ROm Date 03/07/07
Radio 1.38.00.10
Protocol Version 32.71.7020.12H
ExtRom 2.11.255.104
I am just waiting to get a Vodafone 3g Sim Card to test, to see if it was only a matter of location.
Many Thanks

Have you tried the radio engineering test application?
I had a similar problem using my Vodafone with an O2 SIM card. I'd installed the O2 settings cab but still the data stuff wouldn't work.
The problem turned out to be that the data connection was still trying to use the Vodafone settings. To resolve this I installed Daniel Herrero's Bandswitch. This allows me to disable connection settings and only leave the settings active for the current SIM.

Hello everyone.
Finally got my new kitchen in and unlocked me phone. Now I have another problem with getting the phone to work on my existing mobile provider ( Optus). I have Flashed to Rom version: 3.17.03 ENG
Rom date : 05/15/03
Radio version: A.20.10
If anyone in Aus can send me there settings or point me in the right direction plz, or even someone that may help me out here to plz.
Basically I cant use my XDA as a mobile phone yet without the settings or maybe its the Radio version? noticed in the Autoconfig Australia isnt listed.
I have failed to mention i dont get any signal.
Thank you in advance.

Erebus,
The GSM phone function doesn't require any settings - The autoconfig only sets up your Data settings, location settings (i.e. country code etc), and may change the desktop picture / theme.
Have you tried another SIM?
Another possibility is the SIM 'door' or cover - that grey rubber thingy which closes over the SIM slot. If this door isn't closing properly your phone function may not work (mind you the whole device wouldn't turn on at all if it were open).
Finally, I've noticed some SIMs aren't cut quite square - i.e. the contacts can be slightly closer to one of the edges than they should be. Such a SIM might work in a phone with more 'forgiving' contacts, but possibly not in the XDA.
Hopefully some food for thought!

Hi,
GPRS gets stuck almost every time I try to surf internet or sync email. It forces me to switch on/off flight mode and I'm tired of this. I have:
ROM: 1.3.9.4.RUS
Date: 09/25/05
Radio: 01.01.10
Protocol: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM: 1.1.7.105
Does anyone encounter such problem? Is there any solution?
By the way what GSM class is radio part in Qtek 9100?
edit1: answer to myself. I've found it's class B. Cannot call and get GPRS at the same time .
same for me
same for me on my 9100 its so irritating. between this and the speaker phone not working i don't know about this phone

Had the same issue with MTS GPRS.
I have changed the operator from MTS to Megafon and it works fine now. Moreover, Megafon is the only one to launch EDGE yet.
i don't have the issue of stuck GPRS.
Is it EDGE related?

Actually not. MTS launched EDGE too, I've found information on its web site. Moreover, GPRS Monitor shows me connection speed up to 70 kbit/s. I guess it's possible with EDGE only.
Unfortunately I cannot migrate to another operator, it would force me to change phone number and it's not acceptable for me.
I guess problem exists because of MTS's EDGE but I don't know how to disable EDGE in my device and downgrade to GPRS.
Moonsower,
which version is radio in yours? 01.01.10 too?
I guess the problem could be fixed by flashing newer version, I've found people reported about 01.04.10 and even 01.08.10 versions in this forum:

Hi guys,
As the new owner of O2 Exec, that I purchase in second hand shop, I come up with some questions and issues. Of course, I tried to find my answer on the forum but couldn't find it so I was thinking maybe some experienced users might have the answer.
Also some information about the configuration of my O2 Exec:
O2 Exec
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 have unlock the exec and I am using it with a T-Mobile sim card in the UK. I am also register with Web'n'walk (Unlimited GPRS data plan).
I am synchronizing the Exec with Exchange server and I am using the email push.
See below:
- When I plugged the exec by Usb for active sync, I got an error on my laptop saying that I can't synchronize. If I unplug the cable and plug it again, it tend to works (Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to kill active sync on my laptop and start it again). Any ideas?
- Is there a way to completely block the data transmission when I am abroad. In fact, before I was using a Blackberry and there was an interesting option which allow to block all data connection when you are Roaming. Good to avoid bad surprise with the expensive data roaming fee.
- When I am using TCMP to listen to music. It starts to play fine, and then suddenly i got an error saying that the file can't be found on the SD card. I didn't remove the card and I can see that the card is still there in the file explorer.
- Does the email Push can work with Wifi or only with GPRS? If yes, how can I configure this?
- How can I check on the today screen that my bluetooth is paired correctly. I use to have a Blueangel with WM2003 and I remember that there was an icon in the top bar with a headset to indicate that the bluetooth headset was paired. The only workaround so far is to press my bt headset and see if the voice dialing window come up. I think there might be a better way.
- Is there a point for me to upgrade my Radio version? I tried to do it but get an error that the country code wasn't correct or something like this. If it brings improvement can you please give me some information on how to do upgrade it on a O2 exec since it is an Orange upgrade?
- I am using Web'n'walk in the uk with only GPRS. I configure the gprs parameter with the information from the internet. The information given by the customer services where not working. Is there any way to use the UMTS (i.e. 3G) instead of GPRS. The customer services told me that I have to upgrade my plan to do so. Anybody have another solution?
To conclude, this handset is a really impressive machine. As I say before, I used to have a Blueangel and I can see that a lots of things have improved since then.
Sorry for my big list of questions and thank you very much for your help.
Julien.
Web'nWalk with UMTS
I have a Web'nWalk tariff on t-Mobile.
If your sim is a recent one (mine is a year old), it can handle both GPRS and UMTS depending on availability. Older sims cannot - you have to request a new one. This was confirmed by T-Mobile support as well as my experience with the sim. It drops to GPRS where there's no 3G coverage, and I get good speed with 3G (UMTS) in most parts of London
You need to set Network Type to Auto (Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band) if the current default is GSM.
Hope this helps.
Since a few weeks I have following issue with my O2 Trion:
Even though the antenna signal shows 100% strenght, I have 1 chance on 2 being unable either to make a call or to receive (same counts for SMS send/receive) When people call me, the call is forwarded directly to my voice mail like my telephone is shut of. When calling someone, I got 3X dong-dong sound without getting through
I have changed the SIM card , uninstalled a lot of applications but problem remains.
What other tests can I do to see if it is a soft or hardware problem?
The sof onboard is the original delivered on + pocketmechanic pro WM5 and Pocketmusic.
My O2 was originally German with QwertZ layout, got the 1.23.707.1 ROM, the radio version 1.06.00.10 and protocol 32.37.7010.01H.
Before I hand over my so precious tool, I wanted to know of some experts here have any suggestions?
Thanks upfront!
I've had several phones in the past that show maximum signal when actually they have virtually no signal at all!!
I wonder whether it's worth trying to limit the connection (as a test) to GSM band only, just in case you've got the band switching issue.
Start>settings>personal tab>phone>band and only selecting GSM in the drop down boxes.

Thanks, but I tried all options in those settings already. Auto + Auto, GSM +Auto, GSM + UMTS etc.. nothing seems to be stable. There is no rational behind to clarify this issue...
What i do notice is that when my network goes from GSM to UMTS depending of the strongest network, UMTS shows less issues( I believe)
I had similar radio problems with my German TyTN (E-Plus), that are resolved now that the device was replaced.
The E-Plus hotline confirmed there are some devices with unrepairable radio problems.
So before you or your callers go crazy with calls dropped by your TyTN or not being able to find a network or you're tired of the quick battery drain, the mediocre CPU performance or obscure crashes, get it replaced.
Would it help if I boot to another radio version only, or is it hardware related?
Issue is that O2 Trion is not supported / distributed in Taiwan (as all WM5are Chinese here)
Does someone knows if DOPOD would do the repair for a O2 XDA trion german version in another country than they distribute their devices?
Any hotline to ask?
Thanks
No, they probably won't. Upgrade the ROM, and flash the new radio. Read the wiki's and ASK FOR HELP before you do anything you are unsure of.
Follow these instructions to the letter and you'll be okay. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285586
Let me know if you have problems with the bootloader version
Good luck
Just spend a week working on my problem, one which i now know other people have had and not solved. So here is everything in one place for general info (and for someone smarter then me to solve).
Product: Atom - Only the ones purchased in Australia (Why are they different??)
Problem: The Atom will work fine on networks all over the world and in the UK, BUT NOT the t-mobile / virgin UK network.
Details: A virgin / t-mobile sim, when placed in the Australian atom will not stay connected and operating correctly when the phone is one, and once you put it to sleep it will loose its GSM network connection altogether (it seems to turn the GSM radio off instead of standby). Once you turn it on again, it will spend 30 seconds finding the network and be stable for 2-5 mins before the GSM radio starts loosing and gaining connection again.
The same SIM will work fine in all other phones i (and others in the forum) have tried. Also the phone works fine with SIMS from Orange / Voda / O2.
Others stories:
All of these seem to be the exact same problem-

What i have tried:
Updating Roms doesnt fix problem, from latest build wm5, to wm6 and wm6.1 (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329037).
Also tried re-flashing the original o2 rom from the webpage.
via the wm6 and wm6.1 ROMs i have tried setting the radio to only 800, 900,1800, and 1900 MHz but no change.
Geographic location does not effect anything.
Solution:
switch back to a non T-mobile network.
Other possible solutions / questions:
Why is the Australian Atom different?
Can i flash a radio ROM to correct this, or is it something "on chip"?
Is this problem on the operators side - are they stopping me?
FYI - my (current) config:
Hardware: C1
Radio: r060822N_MN1arc_rs00052
ROM: medkids atom 6.1 final
Processor ARMV4I PXA27x
Anyone able to help, before i go sign up to O2 again
Thanks,
