Hello,
i've a xda and use it with my d2 vodafone card, and everything works with it allright.
I want to buy me an xda II, do anyone knows wether it works too with an d2 vodafone card? Or is there something like a simlock, can I use internet with gprs an the all stuff people with O2-Germany can use?
I'm happy for all answers that can help me.
hi,
my t-mobile mda-II works without any problems with the d2-vodafone card. You can use every kind of connection you want. No SimLock on my device!
But you can´t use gprs with a callya card you need a real card.

thanks
hi alex,
thanks for your answer.
I think xda II and MDA II are the same in everything. So I think I can buy me an Xda II without any fear.
I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo excited.........
Bye...
Connecter, I would be wary about buying the xda2 if you need to use it on another service providers network, it seems people are having an awful job getting them unlocked by O2, now I dont know what kind of Vodafone sim you have but it certainly isnt O2 so make sure before you hand over the loot.
now i'm confused
Sooooo,
now i'm confused.
Is there anyone who can tell me if the xda II works with my german provider "D2 Vodafone"?
I wanna have a xda II, but I also want to use my "D2" provider, and I want use all features of the xda II.
Can someone help me???
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi
I do have the same issue with SIM lock or not, I want to use it on a swiss network.
I just wrote to the support of O2 Germany (where I got mine from), they replied that XDA2 does not have a SIM lock.
So I should be possible to use it on any network.
Why you don´t buying the mda-II Device? I can garantie that it works!

MDAII works fine
Hello,
i bought a T-Mobile MDA II. There is no simlock on my device. Web-Browsing with GPRS ist easy to set up. The only problem i have is to set it up to send and receive MMs-Messages. But i'm still working on it.
Regards
Markus

Don't be. O2 in the UK sells the XDA II with a SIM lock, while O2 Germany sells the German version of the XDA II without a SIM lock (or so I've heard).
The MDA II also has no SIM lock, and at least in Germany is considerably cheaper than the XDA II. I got mine brand new from eBay for 560 Euro without contract.
You can easily flash the O2 firmware to an MDA II (for example, if you want the homezone indicator).

an unlocked xda2/mda2/qtek2020
should work with just about any gsm provider there is
like an unlocked nokia telephone does
Does MDA II have english OS or German?

- The device will be sim-locked by t-mobile.
- It will be possible to use it with other carriers, but you need to sim-unlock it first
- It will be possible to load WWE Roms on it I think, just give the boys here some time :wink:
Not a SIM-lock, but a network lock!
???
What is a network lock???
Dakkar
Hello, i have a few questions about this subject. Is there already a way that we can network/sim-unlock the T-mobile Vario? And to load the qtek or Imate rom on it, in that way you can have a cheap Wizard.( in comparance with the others) Except for the t-mobile branding on the front :wink:
Please!
Hello,
can someone please tell me the difference between a Sim-Lock and a Net-Lock?
I am interested in the MDA Vario of T-Mobile.
It seems that for the MDA Pro T-Mobile has provided a free unlock code to who purchased it at the full price without any subscrition.
Will it be the same on the MDA Vario? Will it be a Net-Lock code or a Sim-Lock code???
I live in Italy and I would like to buy it from T-Mobile Netherland at 459 €... will it work on the italian carrier?
Thank you very much,
Dakkar
from what i understand, the phone has been locked by the network, because of either misuse (not paid the bill) or was maybe stolen and reported.
simlock is locked to a particular network
block is the phone is completely blocked from any network
it states : the network is locked but believe me it is a simlock
Hello
My Question is if you can down grade the universal to WM2003SE
if you can do that you can use the unlock code we got on this forum
and if it is unlocked up grade to magneto (windows2005)
has anny one done this[/b]
Wouldnt make any difference as the Lock is held in the Radio Rom I beleive.
There also is no wm2003se for universal, it was designed as a 2005 device from start to end.
Nice idea, but I think making a working Unlock tool for the standard universal is a better idea.
is the o2 exec locked at all?
im travelling a lot between germany and uk, and therefore want to use my o2 plan simcard as well as my german eplus simcard.
The shop assistant in the o2 shop told me that i CAN use non-O2 simcards in the universal (o2 xda exec) without any problem. Could I also use a Orange PAYG simcard?
How much was it to officially unlock the phone?
thanks
Ive not received mine yet, but its possible they dont lock it. Unlikely though.
Can anyone with an Exec confirm if its provider locked?
Mine was unlocked on delivery. Also if you search these forums everyone else is reporting theres where not locked.
Can confirm that my Exec wasn't locked, tried both a Vodafone SIM and an Orange PayGo SIM with no problem.

theres no point downgrading to wm2k3....you'll only run into more problems...
wm2k3 is built to share ram for both ram and rom.....so, that means, your 43meg partition would have to be divided....and thats just too bad! So, i guess, you just need to stick with wm5 for the time being....and hope for a good rom update to come by!
Best,
San
I asked the woman at O2 this morning if it's locked and she said it would be... I'll let you know when I get it on Monday.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS THE BEST ROM (AND WHERE TO GET IT) FOR AN XDA EXEC THAT IS NOW MOVING TO AMERICA, THE O2 SIM CARD WILL BE REMOVED AND AN AMERICAN CARRIER ONE WILL BE PUT IN.. ANY ADVICE? THANKS

you still can use O2 rom , or Qtek or Dopod rom , it work fine with T-Mobile services.
I would keep using the O2 ROM over anybody else's ... I've been using my XDA exec since early october '05 here in California and it's great ... specially if it's connected with an exchange server .... the only drawback would be you need to manually configure the GPRS/3G settings on the device ... well if you have this kind of device then you should configure that easily ...
can't wait for the XDA Trion or maybe get the Qtek 8500 too ... he he he
so you can use the o2 rom, what sim card/carrier are you using, i thought the o2 roms locked the device to o2 sims only?
From what I understand O2s are factory unlocked. I'm using an o2 Exec on O2s 1.13 ROM with Cingular.
I had tried all the ROMs available, from T-Mobile, O2, Dopod, etc... To me, the QTEK ROM offers more stability, less customizations, good signal with radio 1.09.00, and supports both AKU2 and A2DP.
Has anyone managed to get a tytn working on the uk o2 network? o2 say theu do not support the phone although they have the phone in germany listed as an xda trion. I can make calls and texts with my simcard but have no 3g access as yet. The phone was originally on vodaphone. Any help appreciated !
dont you just need to edit the connection settings for o2?
these should be the same for any o2 phone that uses 3g...
i believe they are posted on the wiki
thanks for quick answer
Thats what i thought, but phoned o2 for the settings and they just kept saying that the "software" in this phone is not compatible with o2 network and therefore there is no support for it and no settings ! MUPPETS !
Any idea where i can find the settings for a normal o2 phone?
Worth a try, I really want this phone on o2 !

I smell COW DUNG!!!! O2 are spinning rubbish to you sir...ive been using a TyTN since the middle of August with O2-UK (see stats hehehe).
Il get my settings into a .txt file for you...theres some variations you can use but il set you up with the ones that work ok??
What are you on PAYG or Contract???
P.S: My TyTN is a genuine HTC TyTN (i.e not a varioII or imate JASJAM variation of it) bought it unbranded(unlocked) from mobilefun.co.uk....sim free.
Theres a cab file with the O2 UK settings somewhere on this forum I usen it all the time. Sorry I don't have the link anymore after the XDA Dev switch to new servers. Also O2 3G works perfectly fine with the tytn. What you do have to have is a 3G enabled sim card, I had to get mine changed for one & also do you have O2 3G coverage where you are? To determine if you have just whip out the sim card & it should have 3G printed on it.
Yer if your SIM is not a 3G enabled one (USIM) then give O2 a bell and say you have recently aquired a 3G handset and need a new SIM card for it to work with the 3G service....they should send one out (for free)...when it turns up just call O2 again and get them to enable it.
What they said about the TyTN not being supported is a crock of sh*t .... im guessing they will only give you the settings when its an O2 handset!?
Forgot to add the O2 3G settings are exactly the same as the normal GPRS. You just need a 3G enabled sim card
Hi
I'm off to the US in a month. I've got an unlocked UK MDA Vario ROM 1.6.2.4 WWE Radio 01.12.10. I've ordered a couple of T-mobile prepaid sims from the US so that my family and I can keep in touch over there without being stung by rediculous roaming charges. I gather the Vario will work with my own sim over there but will it work if I put the US sim in it? or do I need to start changing the ROM of the phone?
(I've also got an M1000 (UK) and a couple of Siemens CL75 poppy phones which are also unlocked and should work over there with UK sims)
If there's no joy with my existing phones I'll just get a couple of cheap prepay phones when I'm over there but I'd prefer not to if I don't need to.
Many thanks
Regards

YUP !!!
It'll work perfectly,provided as you say its SIM unlocked,but if its not sim unlocked then I'm afraid,you won't be able to use t-mobile sims.Download the WST tool and verify the locked/unlocked status of your phone or insert sim of any other network in the phone other then the official sim you are using and check if it works or not.
Cheers!
Many thanks Zabardast_1.That's good news. Yes it works with any uk SIM in it (except 3 of course). I unlocked it a while back.
Kind regards
Twojags
It should work
Hello twojags,
I'm also using a SIM-unlock WIZARD (German version) with a US t-mobile prepaid-SIM.
It works without any problems...
