Hi, just purchased tmobile compact from my mate who is off to a sunnier place, ive unlocked it and put in a pay and go o2 sim, everything worked fine, i installed tom tom 5 and that works fine but now on the phone side it says no service. everything was fine before, gprs etc (manually put in details supplied by o2).I have done a hard reset but the problem still exsists. the sim works fine in my other phone and my vodafone sim works fine in the mda.Is there something really simple im missing here, your help would be appriciated, cheers
Cant anyone help.?????????????
Hmm, I've never heard of this one before..
Have you tried unlocking your phone again? Or do you perhaps have a Duo Simcard pack? You know, where you get 2 simcards so you can always have a backup in another phone (I had that with my previous Vodafone subscription). If so, are you sure you don't have the other phone turned on?
Your "mate" didn't call up his phone company and get the IMEI number blocked after he sold it to you, did he? Man, now that would suck!
I had the same problem, I fixed it by upgrading reflashing radio rom. It might work for you.
i have unlocked it again.no joy........not using duel sim holder and it hasnt been blocked, just seems strange it was ok as i said then this....no service message,
update..... the mda seems to accept all network simms apart from o2........as i said it did work fine ........i just dont understand it, can you ?????

Did your "mate" also have the phone on the O2 network? If so, they may have somehow locked the IMEI. If so, you should be able to call them to allow your phone to work. Having their network know that the SIM card doesn't match who they think owns the Mini is the only thing that makes sense to me...
o2 sim works in my samsung d500........my bt (vodafone )sim works in the mda, i just cant see why the o2 sim wont work in the mda anymore.
I guess this has got us all beat, thanks for trying though.
Just spoken to o2 who say the mda has no blocks at all on it, and they couldnt figure out why the o2 sim no longer works in it.
Hello, I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact II with WM5 which worked fine for quite some time. A few days back the device suddenly switched off during navigation (don't think it was the battery) and after switching it on again it told me that the sim card is not inserted or invalid.
Help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & cu

Try pressing the sim card a little. Maybe put something between the sim card and the battery. See if it helps.
hello vlodeck,
thanks for the suggestion.... I've tried it but with no luck. I'm still getting 'sim card is missing' when tuning on the phone :-(

hard reset or just go repair the phone
I have the same problem

Have you taken yours to a phone repair shop?

Since the case of the broken one was like brand new i baught another mda compact II from ebay and changed the main boards over, now it works perfectly (cross fingers, touch wood), the shop told me that it was complicated to take the main board out and change it, so here is me, a laptop and pc tech, i took it apart and had it back together within 15 mins and iv never touched a pda before, so quite happy with myself anyway i hope this mainboard doesnt break like the other, thanks.
Hey guys,
I finally got my P3600 send over from Europe ... (none branded HTC Version... so no Vodafone Lock or so) However, if I insert my German SIM it will be recognized, but if I do the same with my NewZealand Vodafone Prepaid it jsut tells me that there isn't any SIM inserted Both Sims work fine with my German Nokia so I am not sure what the problem is.
Does anybody have a similar problem or know how to fix this?
help really appreciated

Hi rodpacker
Welcome to the short list of members with a P3600 in NZ
Unfourtunatley I can't help you at the moment, I have a VFNZ OnAccount SIM that works fine, I guess I could try out my missus PrePaid SIM if you still can't get it to work after a couple of retries.
If you live in Auckland you could rock into CoolMobile or ETown, they were selling P3600's for a while and may have come across issues with PrePaid SIMs.
Not that it would make any difference, but do you have a SIM2 or older SIM card, and what size KB is it? Also I presume you have credit on it....
I had a similar problem when attempting to use my old China Mobile SIM, and got it sorted by getting the later version SIM card.
hm, good to hear that there is some others
I got a vodafone prepaid I bought like two months ago....Not sure which version it is. It says 128k and 3G on it. Does that tell u guys anything?
thanx heaps for ur help...
and jep I am in Auckland. Although got two p3600's and gonna sell one of em soon ... brand new!
How much where they when they were sold over here?
cheers
Rodpacker
tried another prepaid .... still no luck
last night I thought I might have to unlock my phone and it wasn't unlocked as I thought, however after ur message concerning NZ SimCards I doublechecked again and after using a German Medion Simcard, that worked I tried a UK O2 prepaid and that worked as well...I even got roaming going...So I guess I can save myself the hazzle of reunlocking the device...
Now could u maybe give me some more hints on the problem with NZ Vodafone Simcards?
thanx
Rodpacker
Hi rodpacker
A 128k 3G SIM should work. Have you tried your new SIM in another phone to make sure it's not a dud?
The P3600's were going for around $1200-1300 (NZD). Not sure why they stopped selling them (maybe because they wern't selling ). I got mine imported from the states for $800NZD delivered in box with warranty, so that's what you would be competing with to sell your spare.
jep card is working in my other phone atm ...
thanx for the price info...
good to know. Still busy skinning mine with the iphone skin and ipod player...since touchFlow isn't out for our model yet... will go to those shops u were talking about tomorrow
cheers
Rodpacker
Hi Rodpacker,
Sorry for my english..
about your problem, I remember a forum with a boy with similar problem...Can you try to speak about your (NZ) vodafone customer service. If i remember well the cust.serv unblocked a sim...
If I have not understand your problem, sorry
Bye
I think I'm about the only one who actually bought a P3600 retail in NZ, at the time it would have cost more to get it in from overseas...
But I'm probably not much help, my SIM is also on account - and is an ancient one as well! Was one of the original SIMs before the days of SIM2...
What radio version does your one have on it? Go to Start->Settings->System->Device Information to check. I've had issues with one of the later radio versions (1.46.x) in NZ, accepted the SIM ok but couldn't receive any calls. Currently using v1.38 which seems to work ok.
The radio ROM talks to the SIM, so this could be the issue.
Hi,
I have just bought an Orange Touch 3G off ebay.
Unlocked it to my Three sim and guess what. Yes as I now know it wont go wifi. (Bloody cheek Orange).
Went on Htc to update the Rom, won't let me. (Bloody cheek Htc).
Could anyone on this forum please help me. I need either a serial number from a non network Touch 3g so I can download the Rom. (i understand if nobody wants to let me have it) or if anyone can give me or point me in the right direction for a Rom. If not, thanks for reading and I have a cheap Touch 3G for sale
regards
Andrew

Thanks to all who contribute.

Hi all, maybe someone has an answer here. Tried other threads, but some are slightly different then mine. I've bought this phone second-handed. Had it unlocked but it wong register on 3mobile network. The phone was a T-mobile, and its sim-card works fine. The 3mobile sim-card work fine in my xperia x10. Thinking about being branded, i debranded the phone, but still no luck. Still giving me the exclamation marc by the antenna with an "X" beside it.
So what i want (need) if no one has an answer for this is: Can i go back to the T-Mobile brand again? Again, i read some threads, but they are a bit confusing for a newby as me! Sorry!!
If i can do so, how it has to be done, so i can send to T-mobile or HTC itself so they can have a look..
Thank you very much for your help!

Same problem... have you figured it out?
thanks
dennis
any updates on this? same problem here.
tried hard reset, soft reset, reinstalled new ROM, flashed back to TMOUS stock rom... no go.
if i do a manual search for networks, HD2 finds them, but can't register.
phone connection is ON.
band set to Auto.
There is a thread similar to this on this forum about a month ago. They found out that that the phone was registered as stolen and the ieme was blocked. There is nothing that you can do about it.
has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?
My gf just started having this problem today. She's had the phone for almost 3-4 months now, so I don't understand if someone mixed up IMEI's or what?
The phone won't register onto T-mobile... this sux! and its not even stolen...

did you call t-mobile? Call 877-453-1304 and tell the automated moron "PDA" and it will transfer you to smartphone tech support.
