hello all, i just got my I-mate XDA II today and it is a great phone - however i am having a small issue with it. You see i am Los Angeles Area on t-mobile and somehow the phone always conencts to the Cingular network in roaming mode. I tried changing the settings in the phone network - but it did not help.
can you kind fellows please help me out on this - i do not wish to return such a nice phone.
I was even thinking of loading the NL T-mobile 1.60 Rom, will that work??
thanx in advance
T-Mobile doesn't have its own network in California, it uses Cingular's. The network shows as "T-Mobile" in California only on sets that have T-mobile ROM. All others show "Cingular". I burned a European ROM on my MDA I a few months ago, and it was showing "Cingular" as the network. So, enjoy your new phone and don't worry about "roaming charges" in California.
MPD is correct about the T-Mobile network and I won't worry about myself
but installing the T-mobile 1.60 Rom is a good idea!
HTH
bah, replied to wrong thread somehow.
thanx a lot guys for the help

I am a t-mobile customer with an unlocked htc tytn. I wanted to know what woudl happen if I loaded my phone up with the t-mobile mda rom form the t-mobile site. If anyone knows please let me know. I have been trying to get the edge feature to work and im in a edge area but I still do not get the signal. Is there some sort of settings that I need in order to get edge to work. Thanks for the help
There is no t-mob rom upgrade available for HTC Hermes yet, probably the rom you are refering to is for another device. T-mob branded Hermes is called "MDA Vario II".
And yes, you need your operator settings for the data connection to work.
t-mobile settings
I am having problems with the tytn. I have a htc branded tytn and I am with t-mobile. I have all of my settings right. The internet works the mms works but the damn edge does not. What am I doing wrong. Whats going on here. Is there a t-mobile expert on this form that can walk me through getting this phone to do what its suppose to do.
probably a dumb question, but... are you on edge coverage?

Indeed, not yet, but as soon as it'll be made available it'll most likely appear on this site: http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/mdas.html

Surely ringing them up and asking would be the quickest way of getting the right settings? You can just ask for them, write em down, and input them manually...
t-mobile rom
Yes I am in the edge coverage zone because I could be standing next to someone with a mda form t-mobile and they have edge and I done. Plus I live in an edge zone and I spoke with t-mobile and all of the settings are right and they told me I should be getting the coverage.
How do you have your connection set up? On my phone (T-Mobile UK), the T-Mobile Internet connection is set up as Cellular (3G, GPRS) in the dropdown box... I don't know what the options are for the US ROM, but I'm guessing they're similar...
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 there,
I live in Sydney Australia and have just travelled to Singapore on business. Unfortunately my JAMin refuses to connect to any of the local networks.
On previous trips, my O2 Xda II mini worked just fine. This is the first time I've travelled overseas with my new JAMin, and it just won't work.
I've looked at all of the Network settings and nothing seems to be wrong. I can even manually scan for the local networks in Singapore but cannot connect to any of them.
I upgraded my radio rom a few weeks back to the latest version (2.47.21) - do you think this could have caused the problem? I've just downgraded the radio rom (firstly to 2.20.21 and then 2.30.21) to see if that helps but still no go at all.
HELP! I can't be off the air for the entire trip.
p.s. My prophet is a G3 device and I used the correct ROMS. The phone works perfectly in Australia (Vodafone).

Have you already ruled out a Vodafone screw up or problems in the international connection? Usually if you can see the networks then your phone is working, if you can't attach to them then either signalling is not reaching your home network or your Home Location Register configuration doesn't allow roaming.
Try to contact Vodafone in Australia and report the problem. I doubt it is something with your phone.

Yes, you were correct. It was Vodafone's fault.
I've travelled with the same SIM for the past few years without problem so I assumed that my Radio ROM upgrade was probably at fault. When I called Vodafone Australia today they confirmed that when we changed some account details a few months back, their computer defaulted all of our phones back to "no roaming". Very unhelpful indeed! I'd now like the 2.5 hours sleep I lost last night trying to get the friggin' thing working!!!!
Thanks for your response.
Hi All,
for about a month now, I have not been able to get H speeds for download on the T-Mobile UK network, I' flashed many roms, even got back to my Old WM6 room (k's rom) and still no High speed, it seems to me like it is a network problem but when taling to T-Mobile they say that everything is OK. is anyone else having these problems?
Go into start>settings>system>device information
what is the protocol version?
32.83.7020.20h
Hiya,
Just to let you know I'm replying to this thread on my laptop via T-Mobile UK, HSDPA on my Hermes...
I'm using a Schaps ROM (a full version but with TouchFlo turned off because it's a pig)...
Regards,
Rob.
Have T-Mobile got the HSDPA network coverage in the majority of places? I've only got it a few times and the same with a work colleague - only in certain places. Hasn't really bothered me but perhaps something to think about...
Oh I'm also using the Schap's latest ROM.

Do you use Internet Connection Sharing for this?

Are you on a contract with T-Mobile or Pay as you go?
The reason I ask is that I've been on Pay as you go with with T-Mobile for years! Last year I bought a 2nd hand Vario II off a friend who was on contract and had upgraded to a Vario III. Like you, I couldn't get H speeds with this phone no matter what I tried. My friend who'd had the phone before me had no problem getting H speeds with it... the only difference is that he was on a contract!
Later in the year I went on a P&O cruise around various european destinations and in several countries I managed to get H speeds, but once I got back in the UK I was again limited to 3G.
Anyway a couple of weeks ago I decided to change to one of their solo price plans and add the £7.50/month for internet use (It doesn't mention you can do this on their website, it only mentions it for flext and combi plans - but I asked them nicely and they gave it to me on solo )
Since then I've had H speeds practically all the time and it's not a different sim card either, I kept the same number and the same sim card - they just changed my account at their end.
So I reckon they don't let pay as you go users get HSDPA with a Hermes for some strange reason. Having said that my brother has a Sony-Ericsson WM890i on T-Mobile pay as you go, and he can get H's. Strange!
Hi everyone,
Wondered if I can get a little help from the masters on the forums.
I've got a TMob UK HD2 which connects to the net on H, a friend got an O2 UK HD2 but he cannot get an internet connection on 3G or H, only edge.
Is this something that O2 have locked down with the phone, a setting somewhere I can change for him or are we looking at putting a new ROM on his phone?
Any help (or shared grumbles!) much appreciated.
Dj
make sure he has a fairly recent simCard, the older ones are not 3G enabled .. I've just changed to t-mobile from O2 as I found O2s 3g coverage to be no where as good as t-mobiles ..

Has your friend got a 3g sim card? I had the same problem with my x1 and got O2 to give me a sim card (they should swap it for you free of charge) and voila H all over...
Genius - that would be it. On further quizzing, he suddenly volunteers that he has had the same sim card since 99/2000.
Thanks for the help shadow and rp!

Make him eat his SIM. Whilst still encased in his old handset.
