Hello all,
Just ordered my Exec . Already got an XDA2s on contract.
I dont want to use the new number it will come with, so can I just put my old sim into the Exec and all will be fine???? :?: :?: :?:
Cheers

Hi
Of course.
If it's not sim-locked.
If you purchased it from the same provider that your old number, you won't have any trouble for sure.
If not, then you may need to unlock it (but not for sure).
Haha, they let you order it?
Was that online?
We are having a HUGE debate over wether any will ship out.
O2 still dont actualy have them on the system for sale when you phone.
it should work , But u wont b able to use the 3G connection because the simcard that comes with the XDA exec is a umts (3G) and the one from the XDA2s is a gsm sim.
Does anyone have any unlocking Software, as i bought mine through 02 but want to stick my Orange 3G sim in it, as i can not wait any longer for Orange to get of their Arses and release it.
Thanks
Brian
yeah they let me order it.....I did it online, but when I spoke to them they offered to order it over the phone.
Apparently (and I really dont believe this) they have a load coming in tomorrow and it will be with me monday............we shall see......
Hey guys,
I finally got my P3600 send over from Europe ... (none branded HTC Version... so no Vodafone Lock or so) However, if I insert my German SIM it will be recognized, but if I do the same with my NewZealand Vodafone Prepaid it jsut tells me that there isn't any SIM inserted Both Sims work fine with my German Nokia so I am not sure what the problem is.
Does anybody have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
help really appreciated

Hi rodpacker
Welcome to the short list of members with a P3600 in NZ
Unfourtunatley I can't help you at the moment, I have a VFNZ OnAccount SIM that works fine, I guess I could try out my missus PrePaid SIM if you still can't get it to work after a couple of retries.
If you live in Auckland you could rock into CoolMobile or ETown, they were selling P3600's for a while and may have come across issues with PrePaid SIMs.
Not that it would make any difference, but do you have a SIM2 or older SIM card, and what size KB is it? Also I presume you have credit on it....
I had a similar problem when attempting to use my old China Mobile SIM, and got it sorted by getting the later version SIM card.
hm, good to hear that there is some others
I got a vodafone prepaid I bought like two months ago....Not sure which version it is. It says 128k and 3G on it. Does that tell u guys anything?
thanx heaps for ur help...
and jep I am in Auckland. Although got two p3600's and gonna sell one of em soon ... brand new!
How much where they when they were sold over here?
cheers
Rodpacker
tried another prepaid .... still no luck
last night I thought I might have to unlock my phone and it wasn't unlocked as I thought, however after ur message concerning NZ SimCards I doublechecked again and after using a German Medion Simcard, that worked I tried a UK O2 prepaid and that worked as well...I even got roaming going...So I guess I can save myself the hazzle of reunlocking the device...
Now could u maybe give me some more hints on the problem with NZ Vodafone Simcards?
thanx
Rodpacker
Hi rodpacker
A 128k 3G SIM should work. Have you tried your new SIM in another phone to make sure it's not a dud?
The P3600's were going for around $1200-1300 (NZD). Not sure why they stopped selling them (maybe because they wern't selling ). I got mine imported from the states for $800NZD delivered in box with warranty, so that's what you would be competing with to sell your spare.
jep card is working in my other phone atm ...
thanx for the price info...
good to know. Still busy skinning mine with the iphone skin and ipod player...since touchFlow isn't out for our model yet... will go to those shops u were talking about tomorrow
cheers
Rodpacker
Hi Rodpacker,
Sorry for my english..
about your problem, I remember a forum with a boy with similar problem...Can you try to speak about your (NZ) vodafone customer service. If i remember well the cust.serv unblocked a sim...
If I have not understand your problem, sorry
Bye
I think I'm about the only one who actually bought a P3600 retail in NZ, at the time it would have cost more to get it in from overseas...
But I'm probably not much help, my SIM is also on account - and is an ancient one as well! Was one of the original SIMs before the days of SIM2...
What radio version does your one have on it? Go to Start->Settings->System->Device Information to check. I've had issues with one of the later radio versions (1.46.x) in NZ, accepted the SIM ok but couldn't receive any calls. Currently using v1.38 which seems to work ok.
The radio ROM talks to the SIM, so this could be the issue.
Well, what a nightmare this phone turned into, piece of Telstra crap.
Basically couldn't get a unbranded HD in Oz, other than shipping one from overseas, so I brought one of the Telstra branded ones and put my vodafone sim in....straight away there was a problem, before with my HTC Touch (unbranded) when you add a new SIM, it configures the phone with all network settings etc......the Telstra HD doesn't so straight away you don't have the correct settings to connect to the internet.
Anyway, got Vodafone to email me the settings, (Doh, should have copied them from the old phone) so I thought that was it, but no....set up the vodafone internet settings etc for my data connection and I have managed to sync with the exchange server at work and can send and receive email from exchange, but can't browse the internet.....what's the go here??? also I can't get a POP 3 email account to connect, but still the Exchange sync and Microsoft Direct Push is working as well.
Just noticed there is no weather tab with this phone either....
Telstra have ruined this thing, to the point where I am beginning to hate it and I am thinking of taking it straight back and going back to the iPhone
I wouldn't blame Telstra for this, they've done their job in providing a phone that works on their network. I've gone ahead and flashed a generic rom which will give you the connection configurator and away you go.
I posted a thread over a week ago detailing how to fix the Opera browser problem with using the Telstra device on another network
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476818&highlight=telstra
A bit harsh when it was purchased from Telstra under the understanding that I could use it on any network.
I am not really up on all this flashing and ROM stuff, so I think I might return the phone and write it off to a bad experience....to be honest for all the basic stuff the iPhone rocks....it was only due to the fact that we had blocked the iPhones from syncing with email at work that I thought I would give WM6 and HTC another try.
Came from the HTC Touch to the iPhone
Would love to flash the phone to the basic unbranded software, but the phone is only 4 hours old and I don't want to loose the warranty or brick the phone
i think your at a good stage since the phone is brand new, flash it and hope for the best.
If you brick, take it back to Telstra demanding that the phone just died and you want your money back.
Seriously your going to miss out on a good thing, don't let Telstra screw it for you.
Flash a new ROM and call it a good year.
iPhone is made for idiots dude, don't stoop to that level.
by the way, wasn't there something called HardSPL that prevents bricking?
iPhone is a good choice if you don't need GPS,if you're not a heavy user who must swap in spare battery during the day, and don't need to read and create/edit office documents.
G'day!
Thats the reason I never get into any sort of contracts , rather save money and buy an unlock unit. 4 yrs ago I paid off my Optus contract and since then bye bye to all the phone caps and contracts.
Wife's got a I-TOON its perfect for my 16 months old who cud take snaps of floor and carpet by just pressing the only button he can press.
I purchased an HD2 from eBay, it was locked to T-mobile. I immediately purchased an unlock code, installing my old iPhone sim (making O2 aware of what I was doing) and punching in the unlock code. All appeared well, however it won't connect to the telephone network. I'm getting the GSM icon and I can strangley check emails when out and about sometimes. But I can't make nor receive calls.
I've taken the T-mobile ROM off and replaced it via HSPL with ...
RUU_Le2_UK_1.43.206.4_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship
Which is the standard O2 ROM. It throws up the following error when searching for networks and trying to connect to O2.
"cannot register on selected network, choose another network".
I've tried everything and I'm just about losing it, smashing the phone passed my mind at one point.
I've tried my sim in another O2 HD2 and it worked fine, on all account. His O2 sim didn't work in my phone, which is annoying. So the issue is with the handset.
Before I go insane, I don't suppose someone knows a very easy solution to this issue?
Regards,
Sii
Info....
OS Version - 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manilla Version - 2.5.192.02525.0
ROM Version - 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
Radio Version - 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol 15.26.50.07U
It's sat next to me on the desk with an exclamation mark on the network icon but the mobile web icon is connected.
Very srtange.
automatic network selection brings back a failure to connect, however manual selection brings back all UK providers, selecting O2. I get "cannot register".
I wonder if it's something to do with O2 barring the handset? Brand new before I opened it. Also it was locked to T-mobile.
There must be a very simple explanation for this I hope.
Sounds like you may have to contact T-mobile for an unlock code.

I've paid this company ....
[unlockdata dot co dot uk for a code and have used it, however that does appear to be the issue from what I can see.
They sent me a code, when placing my O2 sim in the phone asked for it, I entered it and all appeared well. However it must not be the case deep down in the phone somewhere.....
are you sure it hasnt been blocked by t-mobile? Could well be an insurance scam: data usually works on blocked phones whereas GSM doesn't.
Well I've took my O2 sim card out and stuck my T-mobile one back in and the T-mobile one works and the O2 one doesn't, but I can't make calls.
Did some diggging that this ....
I've not been able to use the phone due to it actually being barred from service. Please use the below link ..
www . checkmend . com / uk / verify
With the certificate ID of - CM4510856-D4848
Looks like it's not stolen or lost, but just barred. I wonder why.
Is there any way I can get this removed?
Its blocked then: blocked and barred are the same thing. More than likely the seller has sold the device then immediately reported it lost/stolen to claim a new one and thus not only have a new phone buy also a nice slice of cash in their back pocket.
There is no way that the phone will be barred without having been reported as either lost or stolen and there is also no way of having it unblocked unless you are the original owner, haven't made an insurance claim, and ring T-mobile with the blocking password provided when the loss was first reported to the police.
Personally I recommend you lodge a claim with PayPal immediately as any other line of enquiry will only serve to delay the inevitable: you will not get the phone unblocked.
Best of luck sorting it out.
Complaint logged with Paypal, just have to wait and see what comes of it. Included the link to the file saying it's barred, let's see what the seller has to say about that.
c*ck omlette that he is
Thanks so much for the info and shoulder to cry on, heh heh.
All the best, Sii
Good luck with it mate, hope you get it sorted quickly.
Well I spoke to T-mobile and they said "no idea why we blocked it, it's not listed as stolen or anything, there you go, unbarred".
I can make calls on my T-mobile sim, however it still REFUSES! to connect to O2, even though I've put in the unlock code supplied by the company listed above.
Spoke to O2 customer support and T-mobile, no bars on the phone, no issues are barring by either provider. Just refuses to connect to O2.
Any ideas?
If not, anyone want to buy a £360 2 day old HD2?

I've had 3 sims from O2 already this week, they've been really cool about it.
I've also had to ROMS on, the original t-mobile one, and the latest HTC ROM too.
I can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is, it's very annoying.
I may just put it up for sale on the bay of E, it works perfectly on T-mobile.
I'll try some other flashes this evening and see if that fixes it, however I don't think it will. FUnny thing is that it won't connect to the network but the large [G] connects, which does make me believe it's something radio based.
Been told to check the following ....
Yes in the sim card options type mepd
Network active - locked
Network disabled / inactive - unlocked
ANy ideas how?
Bit of an obivous thing really, but did you have to go through connection setup when you put the O2 SIM in?

Yes, and it won't connect/register/logon/access the O2 network.
This is the confusing thing, it can see the network but won't register with it
im not sure exactly which ROMS you have tried so i dont know whether they would have included a radio update... to be sure flash the radio ONLY!

Can anyone on O2 UK please list the Radio flash they're using and working with?
I did list the ROM I'm currently using in my first post.
I tried this with the originally installed T-mobile ROM (unknown details, apologies) the latest HTC ROMs (United Kingdom 1.48.405.2 and WWE:1.66.405.2) direct from their UK site and then the O2 listed in my first post.
I'll give everything another go tonight, seriously running out of steam on this topic though

Excellent, thanks so much for the information, I'll give that a stab when I get in after work. To save me hunting around, I don't suppose you'd be so awesome as to link to the ROM
Thank for everything guys, I just hope this ROM update fixes something ....
hi, i recieved my new hd mini this morning and decided to reformat my SD card from my nokia and use it in the mini, but for some reason the card isnt showing at all in the file explorer or in the format card bit of the tools menu, any ideas why this could be?
Reboot the device If that doesn't help, replace the card. If that doesn't help neither, format the card in you PC and try again. Maybe you'd update your ROM to the newest version too?
right ive updated to the latest rom from htc restarted the phone and tried a brand new 16Gb SDHC card and its still the same, but using the sd cards in my nokia they work fine, any ideas lol or am i gonna have to get this sorted at a shop under warrenty
I think warranty is the best way to go.
HTC's share of defective products is quite high. From experience.
would i be able to take my phone to a vodafone store as the phone is one on their network or would i have to speak to the 3rd party company i got the phone through, or just go to my local carphone warehouse

If your phone is Vodafone branded, you can bring it to a Vodafone shop. But you'd bring it to the shop where you bought it That's the normal way here
i got my phone from an internet shop thats the problem, well i can but try lol

In that case, go to the HTC center of your country. I hope there's one in your city.
Wait. Call them up first.

Is there a HTC centre in every country? I don't think we have it
You can check that on htc.com.
