i could be totally wrong here but maybe its your sim card at fault, maybe it isnt data activated. i tried my xda with my old - working - t-mobile payg card and altho' the xda worked i could neither make nor receive calls. i think it has something to do with the services offered by providers.

Did think that m80, will they "data activated" if i call Orange??
Thanks

Does the sim work in another phone, has the sim ever worked in the xda, have you tried a different sim in the xda, I dont know where you got the phone but it may be that it is blocked to all networks, did you ever see the xda working before the upgrade to developers rom 1.2

Yes the sim works in another phone.
No the sim has never worked in the XDA.
No i didnt see the XDA working b4 i upgraded.
Thanks m80, any ideas??

there's only one way to find out

A little update
I have contacted Orange and they have enable GPRS is there anything else they need to enable, as it is still not working!!!!!!
I have upgraded the Radio Stack to 4.21.00 still no joy!
Any ideas, it searches for a netwrok then says No Signal
Thanks again in advance
:wink: N

sim/xda problems
sometimes the switch on process can take a while. have you tried the card in another phone? do you have a non-payg sim card that you could test in the phone?
do you know someone with a card?
have you unlocked the phone?
i really don't know what to suggest but if you've tried every combination of cards and activation then its either the software or the phone.
mug someone with an xda and use there sim card.

Orange with No Signal
I have a Orange contract sim and it does'nt have a signal either but it worked until i updated the the radio stack to 4.21 but a downgrade is not possible, i have tried t-mobile and still the same problem. if anyone knows how to downgrade it to radio stack 4.01 which is 1 that i know that works. Lets hope XDA-Developers and suss out how to copy the GSM In the Wallaby Bootloader. if anyone can solve this problem you should be king.....

use the band switching tool lol
its most probally on 900mhz (voda,3,bt) instead of 1800 (orange, virgin, 121)
1900 is the american signal also if you have upgraded your phone to pc2003 then you cant get it to work on orange then lol coz it only allows you to do 900 or 1900 :roll:

Thanks alot for all of your help guys
I have tried an O2 payas u go Sim and it works, very strange!!
But Yes it is defo unlocked!!
Will keep trying the Orange Sim and find out why it wont work!!
What are the setting for GPRS for O2?? Please
Thanks again all

T-Mobile MDA(US) won't connect to network!

Hello community!
I just got my used MDA from ebay which had a Sim Lock!
I unlocked it using Lokiwiz3a and the card is accepted!
When I turn on the phone it just keeps searching for network service and won't find any even after hours!
I've tried it with a T-Mobile SIM of my brothers and it worked but my Bluetello SIM doesn't!
I don't have any other SIM card or Phone to try if it is a problem with the SIM, so I ask you, if you know this problem or if somebody ever had this kind of Problem?
My Device:
ROM Version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
Radio: 02.25.11
I think it is a G3, because it shows on startup
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26

Bluetello SIM ? What's that?
Whose your service with? Try your sim card on your brothers phone and see if it works.

Its a SIMcard from the callcompany i got me in Germany!
It's less expensive than signing up for a plan here, since I am only here for a year!
It already worked on my RAZR(which I bricked )

T-Mobile Phone!!! SIM LOCK!!!! I don't know a way to remove a simlock on a samsung x495!
Update:
I have tried it in my brothers phone(unlocked it ) it also doesn't find service, so I guess my Provider deactivated my card!
I actually called them yesterday to reactivate, but I think that didn't happen yet!

Yes this can be easily unlocked. Infact i too had a IDEA locked Touch Viva which i had got unlocked and now using a Airtel simcard without any issues

@Monish:
Can you tell us please which software you are using to unlock the VIVA, and where the software is available?
Thanks

I too faced the same issue. just google it and you will end up with a link which requires your mobile IMEI number and some cash. If you've managed to pay them, they will send you a software to your mail ID. And with the use of that, you can successfully unlock the mobile and use any carrier. But, i believe there are some other methods to do the same thing without the aid of the cash
