big brother - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

i was wondering if anyone could help, ive been giving an xda 2 as a company phone it had idesta now software on it to log into the work network,
( i work in a service based industry so we use them instead of jobsheets and the customers sign the phone) the problem is we have been told the we are not allowed to use the camera or connect any device to them ever, and if we do they will find out about it, and we will be in big doo doo, can they find out? if so how can i stop them, also we only apparently have guest windows logins to them, any thoughts?

Anyone? ........ can't believe im the only one?

Hi All
wonder if anyone else has had issues with bluetooth and infra red transmission? i can pair perfectly with any device but as soon as i try and transmit files or someone transmits to me it fails immediately...........??no reason for error and no error except "failed".
I had this functioning perfectly for one day and now it just does not work....reset handset (hard reset) and setup again....still wont work.....
Anyone help please? i really have given up with calling 02 support, ittakes like an age to get someone on the phone and only occasionaly do you get anyone thats even touched the device! sorry to any 02 support people who do know what they are talking about but when i ask you people about vpn/terminal services over wifi i expect you to know what vpn means at least!....jeeees

Seems a little harsh. I don't suppose the O2 support team are trained in the sort of networking technologies that you mention, since O2 is a mobile phone company, not a Windows or networking consultancy. They're more your average customer-services kinda folk. Try asking them about O2's services, phone options or tariffs.
Oh. Hold on. I did, and they were crap. :shock: :roll: The first operator told me that video calling on my monthly tariff costs 50p per minute. The second operator confirmed that (for the forseeable future) the calls are inclusive, in your montly minutes.
I don't think O2's customer service is great, but I would't call them expecting help on networking or Windows technologies.
PS. No offence intended, hence the
How many devices have you tried to pair it with? The problem may not be with the stack on the XDA but the other device.

Yep, i would also ask the same. Maybe you have tried this: ( I think no pairing even needed)
Go to file explore;. tap and hold on a small file. Choose beam. Then you should see: Infrared, and under it: searching.
Does it find the other Bluetooth device?
Huib
Ive had a few problems with pairing up with the XDA IIi (my other phone)
Same thing, just randomly fails. Going to try it with an S very soon.
why should O2 support WiFi and VPN such?
These are things which are not network related thus, O2 cannot be held responsibile for any of these not working.
Wifi will work if its setup correctly. Every single Wifi setup is different in some way shape or form which is why mobile phone operators wont support features like this. However if you cant make a phonecall, send a txt or MMS im sure they would get the problem solved.
At the end of the day guys yes 02 are responsible for only call related stuff, but to sell equipment and not know what it does and how to support it is crap! (sorry but it is!).
Wifi works perfectly and i have had no issues with this, bluetooth will pair with devices but send and receive to none...have tried my tablet pc, Samsung D600, Nokia 6230 etc....all fail.....
VPN over wifi does not work correctly unless you can hit a public DNS address (i.e doesnt work via I.P).....however it does work over 3G??? funny that isnt it....the free way of connecting to my office or other servers doesnt work but but the expensive way does???hmmmmm
Anyway i'm moaning too much now, its a nice phone and things kinda work but i'm not overly impressed! bluetooth is something i do use as is terminal services and it'd be nice if they both worked as i would expect.....
Cheers

Watch Sprint POWER VISION TV on PPC 6700?

There has GOT to be some way to move the application that runs the Sprint levision services from the newer PPC model to the PPC 6700!!?.. right?
PLEASE.
HELP ME.
I spent all this money on the phone and I cant use the TV services.
I dont believe the Sprint Package will work on this one. Try going to http://mobile.k-disk.com . Most of the sprint stations are also there, for FREE
Hummm....
That website seems to NOT contain anything pertaining to the Sprint TV question. I registered on the website in hopes there would be more option.
Nada.
Any other tips?

Problems with Windows Live Messenger on 3UK

Just installed Windows Live Messenger on my Hermes with WM6 and when I try to sign in I get this message:
"There is a problem with the server. Please try again later"
I can log in using eBuddy. Is this a problem with WLM or is it 3UK?
Cheers

www.3mb.co.uk/forums
I've got the same problem with my Trinity on swedish 3.
I just called their tech support, and according to them it should be working just fine...
I've had a call logged with Three for weeks now, and to be frank, their Indian call centre makes a chocolate teapot in the middle of a Sahara desert look like a positively sensible idea.
They keep coming back saying that they can’t help, because the TYTN II isn’t a “3G” phone (meaning a THREE BRANDED PHONE) (they don’t seem to understand the difference between “Three” and “3G”)
So, as a first off, (as this is the only reproducible easy error I’ve found so far), can I ask you to try going to www.zdnet.co.uk and see if you get a web page or and error. If you get the same error as me, which is “Request Error (Invalid Request)” then it will give me a bit more evidence to go and beat them up over again as H3G are ADAMANT that they do not block ports and don‘t monitor traffic, however, I believe they have a bluecoat proxy server monitoring everything, and they are notoriously easy to stuff up if you don’t know what you are doing with them.
Anyway, on to the Messenger problem…..
From my testing so far…….
Test 1
If you have even so much as a whiff of a Three SIM in the phone, it won’t connect to messenger over the Three Data connection OR over Active Sync.
If you connect it up over active sync or wireless with either the radio (i.e. phone) disabled, or without a Three SIM card, Messenger WILL connect using your alternative data connection (e.g. ADSL connection)
Conclusion - A Three SIM card some how stuff’s messenger (Seen a similar thread with a Vodafone SIM, but I don’t have one of those to test with).
Test 2
If you pop a T-Mobile or Orange SIM in the phone and perform the same tests, messenger is fine over either active sync, wireless or the Mobile operators data connection. Conclusion - This backups the previous conclusion that having a Three (H3G) SIM in there kills messenger.
(At this point, if anyone from marketing at T-Mobile or Orange is reading, if either of you will offer the same data mobile broadband data tariff (obviously in a working format) as Three on PAYG, we will ALL drop H3G quicker than that chocolate teapot will melt).
Test 3
Three are various custom versions of WindowsLive.cab knocking around and some of the earlier ones will actually connect (even with a Three SIM card installed) and actually work, however the Live Mail part then gets stuffed, as its not got all the features of the current Live, with the Push Mail, and the download options, but it does give a Conclusion that earlier Live messenger clients will connect.
The later ones (including Dutty’s ones) still fail to connect, so Dutty, if you are reading, and have any ideas, please feel free to chip in.
Test 4
MSN Mobile (NOT live version)
I found an earlier version of MSN Mobile, and this seems ok ish (i.e. messenger will connect, but again, you lose the nice push mail functionality)
Other Tests,
I’ve tried various combinations of various Radio and OS Rom’s and live.cab installs, without success.
Tests I’d like to try, but don’t have the hardware for
The one test I haven’t been able to try yet (and would like to) is seeing if messenger can be made to connect from a non Three device (i.e. my TYTN II, or your Hermes) whilst using a proper Three Connection.
i.e. Messenger on my TYTN II, going through Active Sync to a laptop, which in turn is connected to the Internet via a Three branded phone or USB Dongle. If That fails to connect, then it’s a fair conclusion that Three do in fact block ports, as the Dongle would be doing the connection. If it worked, then it would be fair to say that the actual SIM is causing the problem. Either Way, it would be really good solid evidence to go and get support to actually take notice.
Which would lead onto another Test, which is if there are any Three Users out there who it works, for, trying you SIM in either of our devices to prove if its some Three SIMS that are actually causing the problem.
(In techie speak, does anyone know if its possible from a SIM card to have a hosts file, or do port redirection ON THE SIM?)
I work up in London, so if by any chance, you are in that Area, please PM me, and maybe we can meet up to try and come up with ideas.
Hi gjbird999,
well i have done a few tests as suggested by you:
www.zdnet.co.uk returns "Request Erroe (invalid_request)"
WiFi ON/phone function OFF/3UK sim in - MSN messenger fails to connect.
WiFi ON/3UK sim removed - MSN messenger connects successfully!
WiFi ON/phone function OFF/3UK sim back in - MSN messenger connects successfully!
WiFi off/phone function ON/3UK sim in - MSN messenger fails to connect.
i guess this kinda proves that 3UK is blocking the ports either by mistake or deliberately the thing is MSN Live can connect to my hotmail mailbox ok to check email etc, just won't connect to MSN messenger.
I have tried calling the 3UK customer service for some other problems before and lets just say that it was amuzing enough to try get them to understand the problem let alone sorting it....
i hope you can get somewhere with them! keep us posted please!
In a sweidish TyTn II forum we are alot of people that gets the error msg There is a problem with the server. Please try again later..
Its been like this for 3-4 weeks..
I have Tre and its still not working
I have a Swedish Tele2 business telephone subscription and i can connect to MSN Live without any problems. However I got a nag about 30 days trial when starting MSN Live the first time, isn't MSN Live for free?
Edit: Tele2 is the part of Comviq used mainly by business users...
I get the same message on 3UK, strange that a sim cardstops you from using MSN when your connected via wifi!

well i am not entirely sure about this because I did managed to connect after reinstalling the sim with the phone boot up without the phone function on, but if i just switch the phone function off then try connect with WiFi without rebooting the phone, it won't connect
using WiFi is not so much use for me because if i can access wifi, it would probably means i am at home already! I guess i can always use the webmsn but that kinda sucks...
Three tech support is on hold, and I'm back to M$ basing at the moment. But I'll try to get into the local 3 store and see what zdnet does on their "open access" 3g Cards that are totally unresticted
hiya, just wanted to post up as im in the exact same boat, 3uk contract using my own htc hermes. having the exact same problems with live as has been described here. so good luck ! if you want any help with anything i'll be happy to help
same problem in italy!!
Ive got live installed on schaps rom -
It seems MICROSOFT now want to charge me for using it - I keep getting a message saying I can use for 30 days trial period and then will have to BUY a pass to keep going.
Cmon ms Btards whats going on.
Anyone else getting this.
will think twice when upgrade time comes if it isnt free
Jon
After first emailing me back saying there were no problems, and was all my fault for not setting up the phone properly M$$$$$$$ admit there MIGHT be a problem their end (or at least with their crappy software)

I'm also on 3UK. I was using windows live messenger fine on my E65 (not the crappy version they give you) up until about a month ago. and since switching to my hermes, I also haven't been able to use msn messenger.
i suspect its all down to 3UK.
i only say this because on my E65, no updates were installed, it just one day stopped working
just want to make an update, my SPV M3100 on 3UK network is now able to connect to MSN again, I haven't changed any settings on the phone at all, so i guess it is either 3UK sorted out their porting issues or MS did... just glad it is working again!!
As is mine

New dream on the way.

Hello,
I just bought a HTC Dream off ebay, it closed at $255.00 new, of course, it is T-mobile branded and is the "G1". I became fascinated with the android port for the Kaiser (mine is a tilt), and decided i wanted the android phone everyone was going on about. As you know, because its a tilt, i am with at&t and the Dream is unlocked, will i have any problems making this phone work with my network? Everything ive read says it will be perfectly fine. Along with that, having no experience with Android except the port to the Kaiser, ive only played with linux on my laptop when looking for a new OS. But, is there anything i need to know about the Dream? As you know everything isnt working on the android port, it does enough i can use it as my full phone, but other then the market, few apps., and the browser, i really know nothing about the operating system.
As far as I know you won't get any AT&T 3G on the G1/Dream, but apart from that everything ought to work.
I am on ATT right now and have the G1. Its a wonderful phone. I also had the Tilt before this one. This phone has so much potential. The only flaw that i have found is the ATT 3G doesn't work and that theres not bluetooth file transfer, but besides that. I love this phone.
The 3G doesnt bother me, as i dont live in an area that has it. You could say i live in the "middle of nowhere." The nearest city with 3G im near is probably St. Louis, and thats about a 5 hour drive. And the bluetooth is ok, i never really use it. Have you had any trouble using the Dream with at&t so far?
I also have one more question. Being an open source OS, how does android sync with computers? I have a macbook pro which I use syncmate on to sync my tilt, windows mobile device center on my hp laptop running vista, and activesync on my desktop running xp, so, how does this work? Since it is open source, like OSX, will there be any programs made, or are there any out already? And how will it sync with the Windows computers? Sorry for all the questions, I have never used anything but a WM phone whish is smple for these types of things.

This Phone doesn't sync with your computer like a Windows Mobile Phone. It syncs with the Google server over the internet. You can mount the phone and view and move files to and from it like you would a Usb drive.
Hmm...maybe i am thinking of KC MO? I could have swore St. Louis had 3G. So, your saying i cant conect to my comp. and go through the phones files like on WM? And what exactly do you mean it syncs with googles servers? I guess when i log into my google acount it syncs what ever data is on the account? Thats what i am understanding from all that i have read.
sorry for the typo, i meant can not cant connect, i am viewing the site from my tilt at the moment so not everything turns out perfect.
When you connect the G1 to the computer the G1 will have a notification. You then will MOUNT it to the computer to make it into a USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE. Then you will be able to browse the files on the sd card. And like the person said above the G1 syncs with Googles server. All your contacts, calanders, gmail will be saved to your gmail account. Make sure when you first setup the phone to setup the APN to ATT, so that you can use the EDGE network for ATT to register your G1. Its kinda a pain to have to setup the APN each time you wipe the phone. But i dont mind it, because this is an awsome phone.
Alright, making mores since now. Thanks for all of you taking the time to explain. I know the APN and such, im using the Android port for the kaiser right now, so i have a little feel for everything that has been ported so far. Is there no way to save the APN settings to the SD card? I thought i read somewhere before that you could do that? All this talking about the phone is making me anxious, cant wait for it to come in.

Ummm... I hate to break it to you but unless you are a freak accident, St Louis has excellent 3G coverage since last October. They have had basic 3G since '06 I think, and last October they HUGELY extended it, about 40 miles further south (YAY! about 15 miles from my house now!) and widely elsewhere. St. Louis has a HUGE 3G coverage area now. Check it out under data at http://wireless.att.com/coverage-viewer and then tell me there is no 3G again.
its in
well, i was just informed that my new dream is in, i wont be home for two hours or so, ill tell about my likes and dislikes and such after a bit.
Well as it turns out, got the phone, and it works great. Popped my at&t sim in it and rebooted, it wants an unlock code, dose anybody know where I can get one fore free? I don't want to pay the 20+ dollars to some of the plasces I've found to get te code, andive read to get it through tmobile you have to be a customer for 90 days. Does anybody have a solution for my problem? Id really like to use my phone! Thanks in advance
Unfortunately there is as of now no way to unlock it for free. The cheapest unlock I have seen so far is on modmygphone.com, the sister site of the famous modmyi.com iphone modding site. So it is trusted and I believe, although I could be wrong, it is only $12-13. Sorry...
Thanks for the info. I went with www.unlock-tmobileg1.com. Ive read much about it so i figured id go ahead. Hopefully i get the code soon, as i am very anxious to use this phone, ive showed it off all night, i just havnt gotten pass sign in. grr. Hoping i get the unlock code in a few hours, for now, i will sleep on it till morning.

HELP, Locked S10+cannot unlock with all of the accounts at my disposal

Hey Everyone,
I have been bashing my head against a wall trying to get this phone unlocked, a friend has passed away and no one knows his PSW. The phone houses information that will help the family.
What I have been able to get access to over the course of time i have spent with all devices.
Emails, laptops, Samsung account.
He was good with securing his passwords but I was able to get through with some persistence.
The phone is linked to his Samsung account and when i go onto: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
i see it however when i try to see any options I get the following:
"Your service provider doesn't support the Find My Mobile service on your phone.
If you've lost a device, you can find it with SmartThings Find in the SmartThings app.
SmartThings Find is only supported on devices with Android O or higher."
smart things gives me absolutely nothing. I tried to bypass the service provider by spoofing the wifi from his home and got him connected but that has given me no further progress.
I also checked if he had developer options on so i could ADB into the phone but again no luck with that. I am down to "3 attempts left" with no option to reset password.
Any help would be super appreciated.
Also have an iPad that i cant figure out the password to but I am guessing that thing is done, and the data cannot be removed from it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
_dW
one of the forum members was able to attempt to assist but we did not get far I have not seen a message like this in the samsung account ever and yet it always pops up . we reflashed the phone to a ATT variant and attempted to see if it can be found on that network and we got the same results.
I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place I would love to help the family but I know within 3 attempts the phone will be wiped.
If anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.
bump plz help
