Is this possible or am I crazy!?!?!

I just started service with T-mobile. I also just bought an AT&T SX56 on ebay because it was cheaper than the T-mobile version. So is it possible to unlock the phone and use it on T-mobile and still have GPRS functionality? I'm pretty sure that part is possible, but now I want to throw a wrench into the gears. Could I then upgrade to a T-mobile ROM and radio stack on the AT&T phone? OR could I be even crazier and use a T-mobile radio stack on the new official WM2003 release by AT&T? Sorry for all the weird questions, but I'm just curious as I'll have my phone during the early part of next week.
Thanks for all the help,
Danny

an xda is just like any other phone when it comes to the posiblity of changing network and getting gsm services like wap and mms and grps
first your phone need to be unlocked that is if it were locked to begin with
then you need to set up those services
how you go about doing so somewhat depend on your network provider
an std way of doing it is
enter settings
enter connections
enter connections
add a connection if non are present
otherwise maybe you have to edit a present one
choose celluarphone(gprs) or something like that
type in the access point of the network provider
often it's just "internet" but otherwise contact the
network provider as to what they use
and of cause if they ofer grps at all and if it's turned on
and then you press ok a few times
and end back at the today screen
then you open something like IE
and it should give you a login and password
page
many networks dont use those and you can just
leave them blank and press ok
ask your network provider
and then you should be online with grps
100's of people have asked the same questions and those
questions are most of the time in the forum called network
100's of people have answered those questions
so if you have more issues i'm sure that searching in that
forum will give results

exec on 3 network

have bought an exec to use with my 3 sim on three network , has anyone any sites that have the 3g gprs settings etc mms files etc to set it up as three customer services just laugh and say, ooo we dont sell that fone , dont know good luck.....
any help would be great
thanks

I don't think that phone can work on 3 network. I think it is of an complete different 'frequency'. Can you make/receive phone calls using the 3 sim?

yes, calls work etc not tried a video call as yet but i know lots of fones dont work at all with the 3 sim but the exec does

Same here

You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.
In settings, connections tab, connections
advanced tab, select networks
new, and input the relevant info from here:
Data accounts: Create one called 3 GPRS.
APN: three.co.uk
Username:
Password:
Login request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address:
DNS address:
Authentication: Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compression: Off
MMS settings can be entered via outlook menu
gateway: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
proxy: 217.171.192.2
port: 8799
(account is the 3UK avvount above)
Not sure if u need to input the Video gateway.
If anyone know how to actually open the portal, plz help,
I think the problem is that the page detects what device you are using, and an exec is not on their list.
My A1000 uses Opera so it cant be that much different...

Thanx Aristotle
3GRPS seems to work ok, considering that on EXEC it will not display any service pages still but does connect to 3.
Though the MMS settings are not working. I am not able to download my MMS messages and send either any suggestions.
Thankyou in advance

In Australia, so for we have got the Universal to connect to planet3, 3G for internet access, and video calling. We still have not managed to get it working for mms, and video streaming.

Oh that's good, is there anything special you need to do to access planet 3? because I can connect, but can't load any pages.
I guess the video streaming is to do with the hutchkey plugin(???)

Aristotle, you're in the UK, and it's all firewalled on 3, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I know things are different in Australia (from the 3g forum).
That's why I left for t-mob: the irony is that the network that claims to be the most hi-tech is in fact the most low-tech of them all. On t-mob web and walk pro and the exec, you get full internet access (no restrictions), with infinite bandwith. That means during the day I remote-desktop to my home machine over 3G, then when I go home it switches calls to skype (I turn gprs off and wifi on), never worrrying about the bills. Try doing that on 3. :-/

lol.....well in australia we only really have one option for 3G at this stage, and thats 3.
walk into an optus store here asking about 3G, and if your lucky they know what your talking about, and at best they might be able to tell you that the broachers are coming.
Vodafone here, well not bad, but ask them anything outside what there trained to know and you might as well be talking egyptian.
telstra....lol....almost as bad as optus.....
Give us another 3 yrs....

Yeah, I know, thanks =/ it would be nice to see the F1 news and footie scores whilst on the train...
Used to be on T-mobile but it's reception was (and still is) awful where I live, drops more calls than 3.

Yep, wouldnt it be great to have a program that would have all the F1 details for the season and also sync options to get all the latest news, minute by minute race and qualifing updates....mmm....sounds very viable

sms
Hi guys,
Im also having a similar dillema to you guys.
Bought an SPV M5000 from ebay and unlocked with buzz's tool, but now using my 3 sim card I cant send any sms, or send/recieve any mms.
Im thinking I may just sell the phone on, wait until my contract expires, and get a new one on a proper contract with orange or O2 becuase im addicted to txting and its getting a bit annoying constantly swapping my sim into my A1000.
Thanx

omg
no offence, but...
universal is a 3g compatible phone - it will work with 3, vodafone 3, Australia 3, etc - it is designed to do that.
secondly - use the http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/7600/HutchKey as access to the portal - just make it your homepage. this one is for nokia, it works with me.
re sms - check the sms centre!!! thats all you have to do - call the support and they will give you the number.

confused
sorry to seem really thick ( I probably am), but where is the setting to change sms centre number on the unversal. Ive been through all settings and cant find it. I dont remember changing this on my A1000 when I flashed it with the non 3 Uk F/W

I've been told about this 3 network not compatible with any other phones except the phones that cames together with the package. I wonder why is it so? I mean, others are trying to lock the phone, so that it can't be used with other network. But locking the network to a certain phone doesn't make any business sense.
However, I've recently had a look on my friend's 3 network phone. And it seems that the phone main screen is flashing advertisements constantly. And, as far as I know, this 3 network is the cheapest to maintain so far, that's why many seems to be using it.
So, my current conclusion is that, they need a phone that has the ability for them to flash advertisements, if not, they won't let you have the cheap network rate without the ability for them to flash advert.

Hi igs, I can access some pages on planet 3, but not others, if I try for example the link you give for nokias, I get an error message (see below, sorry for the small image, can't find the right screenshot programme)
However, I can access some pages, e.g. checking my balance (see below), by typing the link. and if I click on the links from there, I can open some pages but not others.
These are my settings
I have APN: three.co.uk
Username password and domain are blank
Use server assigned IP address in TCP/IP and Servers
And nothing checked for proxy settings
Any ideas? Could it be that you have some plugin that I don't? Thanks....
Also ai118, I didnt need to specify a sms centre, it did it automatically...

I think that might be a 6280, you can turn those 'adverts' off

Connecting to the network around the Globe

Got my HTC TyTN(Hermes-Titan) in China and was using it with great satisfaction for a couple of months. With great satisfaction when landed in Germany, I could still automatically get all my emails and cals without making any adjustment using GPRS and UMTS. Once landed in Spain with strong disapointment and then I have not been able to connect anymore in any of the networks available. Aparently I could not swith from the UMTS2100 to GSM1900(which is used in Spain). The HTC Technical support team there proposed to change the mother board ... may some one know an other way to solve the problem? May an update of ROM work?

Help, Help with China Mobile GPRS settings/Setup
Hi,
I have the Hermes (Softbank Hermes 200 bought in HK with latest QTek South Africa ROM on it - for WWE usage) but I can't seem to figure how to connect to local GPRS to use internet or get email, etc.
It's driving me nuts! I've tried many combos And I'm pretty computer literate too.
Evidently I have all the information I need, maybe, but I can't seem to get the settings right. I've scoured the web and read a couple of moderately useful (but not 100% applicable) posts on outlining the process but I still can't make it happen.
Is there anyone who has successfully set up their Hermes with the China Mobile GPRS settings? Please pass on your knowledge to me.
For background, I have a local Shanghai SIM chip with GPRS function enabled by the central China Mobile authorities, whoever they may be. I'm on a pay-as-you-go service.
The settings (as sent to me from China mobile) are supposed to be:
APN: cmwap
IP: 010.000.000.172
Port: 9201
Domain(?): http://wap.monternet.com
They said no PW or user needed, but some sites list "WAP" for both.
I understand there are also dial-up options but I've had no success either.
The closest I've come is to make the network appear to connect (a timer counts connection time) but when I try to pull up a webpage it doesn't load and says the connect was lost.
I also don't know which PAP/CHAP setting to use and my phone does not have a convenient "Network Wizard" app.
Thanks in advance for your kindness. And thank you to the moderators for this great site. I've learned a wealth of information about my phone and even upgraded the ROM.

P3600: Sometimes, calls get forwarded to voicemail without the phone even ringing

Hi. I am using the P3600 since February 07 and have noticed that sometimes callers are being forwarded to my voicemail directly without the phone ringing. I checked the service settings (diverts), and what I do have enabled is a divert to voicemail *if the phone is busy, unavailable or out of reach*.
I am using Pushmail / Activesync via UMTS and ask myself if the phone is dropping in a "busy" state while downloading new e-mail. If somebody would call exactly then, this could cause the divert to my voicemail.
Did anybody have a similar experience?
Thank you and best regards
Stefan

Hi
On German Vodafone this happens if
a) HSDPA is enabled
b) you ar online with a data connection
c) you get a phone call then
I disabled HSDPA and the problem is gone.
which network do you use?
do you have HSDPA enabled?

I've had the same issue. I have Cingular/AT&T. They tried troubleshooting the phone, and ended up sending me a new one. Weeks later I find that I'm still having this problem. If you find out an answer let me know...

HSDPA in use
Hi - thank you for your reply. I am in Switzerland, and I use Swisscom as a provider. HSDPA is one of the option the phone goes for if no other is available. Is there a way to disallow the usage of HSDPA? Thanks and best regards, Stefan

Yes, there is. Try SK Tools. There is also a HTC Tool for this and http://www.fit4cat.de/portal.php has another tool. If you have problems finding one of these tools then send me a private message with your email adress.

Thank you - I will check tools out
Thank you very much - I will check those tools out!

Hi, guys!
I'm from Ukraine, and my operator doesn't have 3G yet, only GSM/EGPRS.
And I don't use voicemail but there is lighter service here. If somebody called me when I was unavailable, out of zone I would receive SMS from operator with callee's number and call time.
And after switching to P3600 I began to receive such SMSes 5-7 time per day even if I'm sitting in my office all the time and is available.
I've written e-mail to HTC support but haven't received answer yet

does not happen only with P3600
I switched my SIM-card to a Sony Ericsson P990i - and was stumbling into the same problem. Calls sometimes get forwarded directly to my Voicemail if data connection is active. It seems to me rather a provider than a device problem ... ! I will discuss this with Swisscom. Thanks for the hint.

How lock only the data connection with certain operator ?

HI to all,
i would like to know if there is some software or some registry setting able to lock the data connection with certain operator...
i'll try to better explane my needs
i have a contract with an italian operator ( Tre Italia) that give me almost a flat plan ( 5 gb at week ) only under his network coverage but, if i'm connecting with other operators i'll pay about €1 for each mb.
as you can imagine i am very afraid to receive crazy bills.
i think that one solution is to manually set the network but i also think that this will not allow me to roam to other operators for making an receiving voice call's when i'am in areas not covered by "Tre Italia".
My needs is to allow the phone to change operators only for voice purpose and to lock the data only in umts under oprator "tre" not gprs.
i'll wounder if some one can provide me a solution.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I don't know TIM details but: you've received access point name you use to access Internet - for example internet.tim.it. When other network operators do have no same access point names - you've nothing to worry about, connection will fail.

in my case this is not good because " Tre Italia" have a romaing agreement with other operators and with the same parameters allow you to use the data connection.
i only need to lock the data connection with this operator and leave free the phone to switch operator .
please help!!!
