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
Hi guys,
I updated the ROM on my XDA using yorchs ROM kitchen (4.00.05 ENG ppc2003). However, once upgraded this seemed to b0rk my GPRS. I did manage to make a connection to it once after the upgrade, then I believe after a soft reset, it refused to work anymore.
I am using the AP general.t-mobile.uk, username 'user', password 't-mobile'.
Does anyone know a 'good' ROM/Radio stack to use for an XDA on T-Mobile UK, and its location? Or possibly some 'working' settings?
Thanks guys
Hi !
Anyone know where to get asia rom ?
Thanks in advance !
in here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Alpine/O2AlpineRoms/
ramnkc,
i dont think asia rom is good enough. the rom by Pug more better and stable!
even you're at malaysia does not mean that you need rom for asia.

Flush any rom ,can be used any country provider , for Alpine you can cook with your own extended rom ,please search this forum.

Hi ! The reason i want to find the Asia Rom is to get an application from there. It called autoconfig.exe and what is does is to automatically set all the MMS and GPRS settings for you if you chose the correct operator.
and i manage to find the application which help set up my settings.
So not running rom from Pug ~ !
Great man !

MMS and GPRS setting you can get it from operator. call them and ask for it! they will redirect a sms to you....
i already tried asia rom and pug rom.....pug rom more stable and better....anyway try your best, no harm in trying....
Just tested pug's rom and so far so good... it also solved my sd card problem !

Hello all,
I tried to setup the TMobile "web and walk" GPRS stuff, but without success.
I get a nice GPRS logo (it's connected) but when going to a webpage it says "can't connect/locate the page".
Using my (local) Wifi connection it works fine, but when on the road I would like to use my GPRS connection...
Note : I'm looking for the Dutch settings...
Thanx in advance,
Michael 8)
Hey Michael,
As far as I know this is the cab file you need to install for the T-mobile settings.
Good luck.
Hey Panja,
Ok, will try it.... Is't that loaded during (re)Flashing the MDa Vario ??
I just reflashed it using the latest (found here) Dutch TMobile 1.6.2.2 ROM (dated 1/11/05)...
Thanx for your help.
Michael 8)
Edit : Tried it, helaas without success !!!??? Anyone who has GPRS active and running in the Netherlands for TMobile ???
Thanx again for you help !!
Michael 8)
Its a cab file that was in the extended rom of a Dutch T-Mobile rom.
Its official and should have all settings for Dutch T-Mobile users.
Hey Panja,
Thanx for your answers and suggestions, but I'm still not able to get a webpage or email when connected using GPRS (tMobile)....
Using Wifi all is ok....
Anyone in the Netherlands who is using TMobile GPRS on his/her MDA Vario can tell me the settings... On the TMobile website they don't even show the MDA Vario settings !!!!??? (only from MDA to MDA II and SDA).
Note : I tried all of them without success...
Thanx for your help and understanding

The gprs settings are very simple for Dutch TMO.
Just create a 'Cellular line (gprs)' connection with 'access point' internet. That's all no user/password etc., if it doesn't work it might be your radio.
Cheers, M
Hey oltp,
Looks like I was thinking to technical to establish a GPRS connection, and I was looking at other (TMobile GPRS pages/set-up's).
This did the trick !!!! So simple !!!???
Thanx again for your help.

t-mobile netherlands wifi settings
I updated my rom to 2.26 english version and lost the wifi settings for t-mobile netherlands. Can someone please help me because I don't understand Dutch.
check oltp posting (above) on Jan 09, 2006, you should see the gprs settings for t-mob NL.
if you stil have some trouble go to the xda-developer ftp site from wiki xda-developer. There's a pdf file for HTC wizard settings for dutch operators.
cheers,
thanks for that. Couldn't find the .pdf file but did find a .cab file with settings which I'll try.
