Has anyone managed to get the XDA Exec to work with a Three sim card.
Looking to use a three card for e-mail and internet, but not sure if it is possible?
It works fine with the 3 network.

Did you have to change any settings to get e-mail and internet working?
Obviously you need to add a connection for 3.
You'd also need that internet browsing pack from 3 to beable to surf outside of the crap 3 site / get emails.
Whats this about an internet browsing pack????
Does this mean that they will completely drop the walled garden, let you go anywhere? What are there data charged like?

Hi
Answered my own question 512MB data pack add-on is £45/mnth. So not cheap then!! Given 3's superior 3G coverage, they have the capability to cleanup on the geek market. But they'll need to do better than min £65/month (min voice+data add-on) to do this, and they'll need to start flogging some decent hardware also!
They dont offer data packages other than the £45/512MB one. I would hope to see a little competition in the UK as things progress such as we get closer to the flat-rate data that those over the pond enjoy!

TBH I just use my 3 sim for calls (I've got it on 3000 off peak x-net before they pulled it!)
I have a T-Mobile sim on web 'n' walk that I use for data, as I get 40mb included with that.
3's data prices to see abit ott if u ask me, but still.
Three acually do 2 different data packages. They are as follows:
£2.50 for 5MB: This allows visiting to selected websites what have been approved by three. You cannot however, use the phone as a modem for a laptop. Not very practical as its still not full access to the net.
£45 a month for 512MB: This allows you to use 512MB of data each month as a modem. You cannot however access sites on your handset with this, only via a laptop with the phone being used as a modem.
Hope that clears everything up. This isnt very practical TBH, but the XDA exec works fine on three, as its shipped unlocked.
That strange 3 site thing don't like the IE browser on the JASJAR either!
It loads up as aload of code!
The 3 music bit kind of works, and if you try to go anywhere normal on the net it moans about needing a internet bundle!
To be honest my main reason was cheap calls and access to pop3 email retreval on the move,
Will this work with a standard phone tariff from 3 ??

It will, but to enable you to access anything outside of 3's little "world" they love so much (IE your email) you'd need to purchase a web browsing package from 3.
This is what happens if you try to make use of the 3 connection.
OK I've now got a Three Payg SIM card to try out.
I have 3g coverage as indicated by U symbol.
Anyone know the details on how to set up a connection for Three, no details with the card and cannot find any details elsewhere (Search)

OK, I have my Exec set up fine with the 3UK network. The only problem I have is that with my old 6680, it obviously had a 3 ROM on it that was set to roam back to 3's netowrk when available. On the Exec, I notice that once it roams over to O2's 2.5G netowrk, it doesn't roll back. I've even set the network selection to Manual and told it only to use the 3 netowrk form the list of networks available.
It will roll back fine if I click the FIND NETWORK button in teh phone settings, but just wondered if anyone had managed to get it to stay on 3?
Thanks.

I've just got myself a Vario II as a replacement for my Vario. If I put the sim from my VBVario in, will my internet access automatically be 3G or do I need to ring someone? Is there a way to check?
Cheers.
If its a SIM issued in the last 2-3 years it should be fine. You will see a 'U' (or perhaps '3G' depending on ROM) instead of a G when you are in UMTS (3G) coverage.
You may or may not need to telephone them to get HSDPA turned on. The only way to see if this is working is to do a speed test (search this forum for url's) when in UMTS coverage.
Good tip that!
I have put my lovely T-mobile UK SIM into a new Orange SPV M3100. Speeds were going up to standard 3G level (384 kbps).
I rang T-mobile on 150 and found a human, eventually, and asked for HSPDA service to be enabled on my account which was done straight away. My next speed test got me neary 1 Mbit/s, so I'm happy!
Cool, thanks for the thanks
Hopefully you guys can help me out with this HSDPA related query on t-mobile.
I've just got my MDA VarioII (TyTN) and have taken the web'n'walk package with it for £7.50 per month.
I'm getting the 3G speeds of around 380kbps but started reading threads like this one and thought, crikey, I'll have me some of this HSDPA malarkey!
So I phoned t-mobile and asked them to activate the service on my account and after eventually getting passed to their technical department, I've been told that to get HSDPA you have to have either the web'n'walk plus or max package.
These are either £12.50pm or £22.50pm which is obviously a good bit more.
Can you confirm if yourselves have these packages or if you've been able to get HSDPA enabled on the standard web'n'walk?
Cheers
That's just them talking rubbish. I'm on the £7.50 WnW.
I had to argue for an hour on the phone, which got me nowhere, they were spouting crap about how I had to upgrade my plan. Even tech support was telling me this.
Afterwards I called back and luckily got put through to someone who actually knew what I was talking about. It took a second to have it enabled.
A lot of people have experienced that problem...so you just might as well. It seems we know more about the technology they're employing than the networks themselves...which is absolutely disgusting on T-Mobiles part.
Just remember...you're right, they're wrong.
Also...an easy way of checking is if you're signed up to My T-Mobile...you can check the additional services bit for 'HSDPA 384k Uplink' which should be enabled...after they enable it that is.

Totally correct.. I had the same problem only 4 days after taking out the new WnW account with my Vario 2. After 2 seperate phone calls I still had no luck so I told them the phone would be returned fully boxed as I was in my right as other peeps on the £7.50 WnW package had this enabled. After 4 hours they rang me back saying that it would be enabled as they didnt want to lose me as a new customer..
The moral of this story is...............PERSIST UNTIL THEY GET IT ENABLED...
It does make a lot of difference too..

Sounds like they're chancing their arm with this.
Apart from citing customers like yourselves are there any other arguments I can put to them in case they start to play hardball?
I've had my contract for a month now so I'm out of the 14 day cooling off period but it seems to me that this could be argued as a treating customers fairly issue...
I prefer to go into these battles with as much ammunition as possible!!
Thanks again

Speed test site, e.g. http://text.dslreports.com/mspeed
cheers
and hmmm, 345kbit/sec, dont look like im using hspda, dam it?
Just got my Vario2, called CS and they said HSDPA is already switched on, tried a speed test with dslreports, speed comes back in the low 300s?!
Also when it's downloading, the 3G sign doesn't change to a U or H (read in a few posts that it's supposed to?)
tmobile, and many other roms, sets it to stay as the 3G icon at all times.
HSDPA speeds are variable, though that is a little low - mine with 2bars reception at midnight just now got 1048kbps

3G is exactly the same as U. Just some ROMS have one, some the other.
In most WM6 ROMS the 3G will change to H when HSDPA is being used.
Other than doing a speedtest you can check whether HSDPA is working by using the fieldtest application.
Thanks for the info. What's fieldtest application & how do I use it? By the way it's a WM5 device, not WM6
Fieldest is the HTC engineer tool which shows advanced network stats (which you have to be a geek to understand, as they're not presented in a user-friendly way at all). It's available from the XDA Wiki.
T-Mobile are being covetous as to who gets HSDPA enabled now - unless you're a business customer it's probably 50/50 as to whether you can get it enabled on first call. I only got it enabled when I got through to a tech engineer as opposed to a regular CSR.
You can use the fit4cat Hermes Tweaker (from fit4cat.de, registration required) to check whether HSDPA is enabled on your phone or not. If it's not enabled you'll have to do the ring-and-pray with TM cust services.
any chance we could get a bit of a guide on how to ge t-mobile to enable it on your line?
I just tried them on 150, they said that it's not available on the flext 25 + wnw prices plan, apparently i'd have to upgrade to flext 35, is this true?
does anyone have it enabled on anything less than flext 25?
thanks, Forlornity
sorry for the triple post, but I've _apparently_ already got HSDPA enabled, but when I run a speed test on dslreports.com, it comes out with my speed being 44kbit/sec every time.
Is this due to something I don't know about?

I aim this question at UK sgs owners, so if You are not one of them look away now ! !
I am on tmobile uk and just recently tried to connect to orange (i have terrible reception at workplace) but my phone returned message: your sim card does not allow for connection to network.
And yes i did register myself on signalfest when i received text from tmobile.
I even phoned customer service and they send me new sim card but i still have the same problem.
I google it and it turned out that there is more people out there with same issue. But i couldnt find any solution to this.
So did you have this problem and solved it? or still have? Any sugestions welcome..
Btw i am using darkys 3.0 rom..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I too cannot select Orange T-Mobile manually and get the same sim card error message.
But I did find that sometimes I've automatically connected to the Orange network and see the roaming signal bar icon, so the switch is happening but perhaps only if a T-Mobile signal is lost altogether.
Yeah i got that once or two as well but after conversation with tmobile customer service i know that it should be possible by choosing network manually. Btw what rom do u use? Stock or custom?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Have you got roaming turned on in your settings?
I admit i cannot select t-mobile manualy, however when i want to swap back from t-mobile to orange it lets me.
But most of the time it seems to switch between the two pretty seamlessly.
Sent From My GT-Iphone-killer almost.
I'm on Orange and I can't select T-mobile network but it does change automatically. I get the error if I try to manually select T-mobile.
My friend that uses a HTC Desire and on a T-mobile contract can change networks with out his phone giving an error. So maybe it's to do with the Samsung Galaxy S?

I too was on darkys 3.0 rom at the time.
I'm sure I saw a post somewhere that said T-Mobile was adding support to their Galaxy S Froyo release that would handle roaming for the two networks.
I've got an unlocked phone so I do not know if I'll ever have this support.
The network sharing is 2G only at the moment. You have to switch to GSM Only in order to manually select the other network.
I find I have to force the phone to lose what little Orange single it gets around the house so it'll roam onto T-Mobile, and when it's done that I can manually select Orange T-Mobile from the list and it'll stick on that network instead of hopping back onto the terrible Orange signal if it gets a whiff.
Of course this is still a pain because when I go out, to get the best signal and make use of 3G, I have to select automatic and have to do the whole hide-in-a-cupboard-under-the-stairs thing when I get home.
Fun times.
im on orange have no problems selecting t-mobile manually as stated before it works only in 2g. data transfer can be used - edge. 3g and switch without disconnect call should be available early next year. my txt messages can take forever to deliver if im using t-mobile and reply sometimes are not deliverd till the next day.

I brought a Samsung focus couple of days back and not sure how to turn ON 3G. Read some articles and it says Setting> Cellular> Data connections> 3G ON/OFF but i don't see 3G option there. Let me know if there is way to turn ON 3G.
If not i want to return the phone.
Thanks!
Settings -> Cellular -> Data Connection -> ON/OFF
That's the only setting, and it should be On by default.
Brad.
If you bought if from the AT&T store it should already be on.
If not and its not already updated to NODO youc an chevron unlock it and use the samsung tools to add teh 3g toggle.
Serioulsy though, it should be on and if it doesnt have the samsung tools how did it get turned off?!
Samsung focus 3G
As i told you before, Nope its not there by default. The only way to deal with it is to unlock then let me know how to unlock(what's the process).
Thanks!
3G is turned ON by default and there is no option to turn it off. What mobile operator do you use?
Samsung focus 3G
Well how come i cannot surf internet meaning i can't browse net.
I cannot go to Gmail, yahoo, NY time, ESPN or any website.
I have tried this at different locations(cities) .
It works @ places like Star bucks where Wifi is exists.
Are you on AT&T? Is Settings -> Cellular -> Data Connection ON?
Samsung focus 3G
Had to reboot couple of times to see 3G back. Not sure why it was missing.
Now 3G is back ON and i can surf net.
It's a windows phone.. so obvious that i had to reboot the phone
Thanks!
I have a Samsung Focus from AT&T. Currently flashed with ROGERS rom, but either on this and on AT&T's rom I never saw a 3G icon. Does it means it never connected to network with 3G, or it's always with 3G by default thus never showing 3G sign anymore?
My operator is available on 3G, 4G even so it's not the case of carrier problem for sure.
Edit: managed to get an "E" icon, it stands for Edge no? I followed that tut, to enable it, yet still no 3G, is it working at all at my country? I mean the phone is from the USA, maybe different bands here.
Settings, applications tab, radio
set to World instead of North America.
Also, I suggest installing Samsung Tools to make sure you enable 3G and prevent the relock.
Thanks Finaly know what the RADIO setting does Thought its for the FM RADIO :]
Unfortunately cannot install Samsung Tools on my DEV unlocked phone, dunno why, is there any other method to check my 3G?

From your other posts, I get that your phone got relocked. Do the Chevron unlock again, and first thing install Samsung Tools, run it, check all boxes and restart your phone. Then, you might do other stuff.

Ahhh, you unlocked via Chevron Labs, not Chevron.
You should be okay. As long as you can deploy XAPs, you're unlocked.

I basically suffered the same issue for my first 2 days with a new Nexus 4. I discussed my issues in the Straight Talk thread (ST). After I exhausted all the possible solutions offered up via my Google searches, only then I went the route of contacting Straight Talk directly. I could have saved myself a boat load of grief, if I had simply contacted ST at the start. Give it a try. I went to the Facebook icon on the ST homepage. Then, I clicked the Support icon on the ST Facebook page. It asked about creating a Ticket. I said yes and entered a short description of the problem. There were a couple of email exchanges and finally about 12 hours after starting my communication with ST, they said to pull the battery and send myself a picture message. Of course, we cannot pull the battery, so I just sent myself a picture message. A miracle. As I sent the message, the phone internet/data connection opened and my first MMS was finally sent. Note, I checked my mobile data connection just prior to sending the MMS message and it was still "disconnected". I think ST must have done something from their end, to correct my problem. I only used the exact APN settings that were provided with the ST AT&T sim card activation kit. Save yourself some trouble and open a trouble ticket. I learned the hard way. I love my N4 and my ST AT&T signal strength and reliability is great in the NJ, DE, PA tri-state area.

Thank You for the info, I called ST and they said my ported number is not in their system yet(even though i can use the number), which will take 24 hours and then may be the data services will work. I have couple of more hours to verify
Rooting cannot break your phone's ability to access the network.
Any new info on this OP? I just got my N4 yesterday and am using a AT&T Straight Talk SIM, but I also can not connect to mobile data. I had my number ported over from Boost Mobile, so did waiting a day or two help?
EDIT: I also tried a million different APN settings to no avail.

ive recently fired up my new nexus 4, which has been a pleasure the last 2 days. im still getting to grips with it but it is a great phone.

Custom rom or a weird sim card I'm pretty sure. Mine says tmobile but you can change it with custom roms. I vaguely recall seeing this before and it was with the sim carrier.

Wouldn't be a custom ROM. Phone came straight from Google and I'm the first owner. Will check with sim provider and see if its that.
ok so this appears to be a phone related problem. as nexus obviously takes a micro sim i tried it with an adapter in an old n95 and after that in a mates galaxy s3 and they register on "EE" both on the home screen and when you search for a new network.
however mine still appears as in the first picture and as below searching for a network. so the nexus either isnt setup for ee/orange/tmob or it cant read the sim????
this is running the latest 4.2.2 jellybean and has made no difference even restoring the phone to factory once.
anyone else using a nexus 4 on ee/orange/t-mobile in the uk and got this problem?
Ive also contacted orange (my provider) and it was them who suggested trying in another mobile but they also ran a diagnostic and that didnt bring up any errors.
have i got a dodgy sim card? (seems unlikely as it works fine in other mobiles)
has the nexus 4 not been configured properly for my network? (also unlikely as there must be thousands of people with a nexus 4 and on the same network)
Or has the phone got a fault itself? (bloody well hope not as its only 4 days old!!)
anyone shed any light on this as its got me really confused

I doubt it since I'm on GiffGaff where you have to manually enter the APN settings but it always said giffgaff wherever it had the carrier label. Also, as you can see the other networks' names come up fine. @OP maybe you could try manually entering the APNs and connecting to mobile data to see if simms is right.
Mine is exactly the same. I'm on orange. My SGS2 showed it as EE like it should be. This nexus 4 has always had varying strings of the '@' symbol. Been like that since I got it in November. I just tell people I'm on an exclusive network not available to paupers.

I'm hoping its gonna sort its self with a future update but until I figure it out I like this idea. An exclusive network just for nexus users.

I have the same issue, I got a panther orange sim and put it into the nexus 4 and 'Orange' was displayed for about 4 days. Then out of the blue it changed to @@@@@@@.
I reset the phone but nothing changed. I took out the sim card and with no sim in the phone, I searched for mobile networks and the phone lists Orange, EE and T-Mobile. But with the sim in the phone they are all listed as @@@@@@@@.
Sim works fine in every way as far as I can tell, its just the network name which is displayed incorrectly.
