XDA Exec in Japan

Hi,
I hope someone can help
Just bought a XDA Exec so that can use it in japan to replace my M1000 which is a A1000 in disgise
At the moment I'm using DoCoMo but I'm getting some strange problems the phone takes ages to lock to the signal and sometimes wouldn't ring
I can't seem to get the internet to work with my M1000 setting
The only other 3G network is Vodaphone so i'm wondering if it would be any better than DoCoMo service and if anyone has managed to get the internet work on any one of these networks
Thanks

Hi, Tokyorob
I think DoCoMo is no suitable and improper for using Exec.
The standard of the cellular phone base stations are different between DoCoMo and others .
DoCoMo's base station named Release99, and the World standard one named Release4.
DoCoMo has also R4 station, but they are only 30 percent of all its stations, and 70 percent are R99.
All devices of DoCoMo are built as Suitable for R99 and R4 both.
M1000 is also that.
But HTC Universal is suitable only for R4.
That's why your Exec can not catch the wave of DoCoMo.
You'd better getting Vodafone USIM.
Regards

Thanks Shamilsh,
That's explains the drop outs
I did try out the Vodafone USIM and found it locked on faster but I still can't get the packet transfer to work
any ideas ?

Can I ask you something?
Hello Guys,
I dont mean to look silly but, as far as I know Japan networks are not GSM, they operate on CDMA, or am I mistaken?!
Thank you & have a great day all.

Tokyorob
You have two means to connect internet with your Exec.
One is UMTS Network of Vodafone KK.
Just you can set DialUp with your Exec setting Utility.
Select a modem: Callular Line(GPRS,3G)
Access Point Name: vodafone
User Name: [email protected]
Password: vodafone
And another is using bluetooth modem like as M1000.
Setting is same as M1000's one.
Regards

Thanks Shamilsh
Tried the config with my friends USIM and it worked..
What pricing package are you on ?
I was looking at the Dual Packet Flat-rate but told by my friend that it doesn't cover everything
Vodafone are less than helpful on the matter
Basically I want to be able to :-
Have the 3G connection on all the time
surf the web
run pocket msn/messager
do you think that will be covered ?
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob
to use internet, you need to contract package "Happy Packet Super Plan"
or "Data Value Pack Plan".
But on "Data Value Pack", you can not make voice call.
with "Dual Packet Flat Plan", you will not be able to use MSN Meesenger nor E-mail nor Skype, because it is not real internet but it is WAP.
Very sorry but our situation around Mobile is very Inconvenience and non-flexible.

Shamilsh,
Many thanks
contracted to the "Happy Packet Super Plan" going to see what my monthly bill is going to be ..

3G service on Rogers with HTC P3600

Hi all,
I am currently in Canada with my new HTC P3600 unlocked phone. My mobile carrier (Rogers) just launched their new 3G network in Toronto this week. The phone on the 3G network is amazing FAST (1.5mbps down) when using the internet. Voice quality is VERY clear!
I am interested in the quality of the video call feature, but I don't know of anyone else with 3G enabled phone, or if Rogers has a test number you can call!!??
Any one else using their Trinity on a 3G enabled network that would like to test a video call or can share their experience?
ps: According to Rogers support department, they do NOT support unlocked phones...
Thanks
Chris

I live in Vancouver BC. So far we don't have 3G in our area. .

I am using the same phone with Rogers too, I dunno how I can enable video calling with Rogers, supposely it should work for other phone, however, I may be wrong. Let me know, coz I want to try it too.

I dont think video calling is enabled yet. Just the data.

Whenever I visit Toronto from Ottawa I get the HSDPA/3G with performance around ~300kbps. HOWEVER it totally Kills My Battery - like within under 24hrs using push email. Very bad.

Video calling is active in Toronto
I have just added VISION (video calling) feature to my plan. But I am unable to make video call.

You need a Setting for Video Call.. like a MMS,WAP need APN.. IP... setting

no you don't
video calling on rogers DOESN"T REQUIRE SETTINGS
make sure WCDMA is on in networks and the 3G icon is showing NOT E or G

Did u try P3600 Video calls @ rogers ?

was one of the first to sign up for the vision plan =)
so yes

im in the U.S. 3G area according to my phone anyone want to try video call
im in the U.S. 3G area according to my phone anyone want to try video call. I don't know if it will work since i have cingular as my provider to a roger phone up in canada? does any one know when the u.s. will sell video enabled phones? I have an htc p3600 unlocked works perfectly except i have no one to call that has a video phone

Damn Rogers, hurry up and launch this in Vancouver.
What are the plans like? I am dying for an unlimited 3G data plan.
****, even an unlimited EDGE plan would do it for me, but that's honestly not worth $100+ a month.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you provide me steps so that i can enable these features so that i can use vision please?

Rogers launches new 3G in Toronto!

Also, for any of you Rogers customers, what do you think about their crappy data plans!? No unlimited data plan.. can only get 100mb for $100/mth!!

Roaming and MVNOs

Hi all,
I have a SGS with a mobile virtual network operator (Simyo in Spain, over Orange network).
The problem is that the mobile says it is in roaming, so I have to activate Data with Roaming to have Internet over the mobile network. If I travel abroad and forget to deactivate this option the bill could be quite high.
Is there a way to configure the SGS so it knows it is using local networks with an MVNO?
For example, a HTC Hero in the same networks has not this problem and detects well local carriers.
Thanks.

I know this post is some kind of.. old.. But try this App:

EDIT: Sorry for the link - but I'm new and I'm not really abled post links.

got the same issues when abroad I have To enable data or it does not work

Native Video Calling outside of AT&T

Can anyone tell me if there's a mod that will let me make a video call to another carrier? I paid outright for my phone and it's now carrier unlocked. I still can't seem to make it happen.

Tango is an app that will work..

Hii.
My name is Nayan Sarma. I own a Oneplus 3 from india.
I m using oneplus 3 with reliance jio sim. I would like to know if there is any possibility that i can use it for native video calling without using the data connection. If not why and if possible can somebody guide me in this matter or to related posts or websites. Lyf smartphones under reliance digital uses native video calling without using mobile data connection or wifi. Dont wanna use other apps that are easily available in the playstore that uses quite mobile data.
Thanks in advance and please forgive for my english.
Thanks
