Hi,
I'm french and on a 6 days trip to Tokyo.
I cannot receive any network.
Can someone tell me if it's normal not to get anything or should I do something special to get a network ?
Thanks in advance
It -should- work...
Hm, it -ought- to work if you're using a hermes or other quadband phone...
not sure what the issue could be without more details, but you could try creating a new modem connection to Softbank:

Not sure if this will interfere with any settings you've already got on there, however, and also not sure if/how you'll be charged.
If your phone is unlocked, I've been told by the Softbank stores in Meguro and Nakameguro that they will sell you a SIM card on a basic plan if you bring in your phone and let them test it with a Softbank SIM. I guess this wont help your net settings, however...

japan has a 3G(UMTS) network - the TyTN will work.
BUT, you need to check with your service provider that they have a roaming agreement with one of japans networks.
Once I read that Vodafone works but it's the only Italian carrier that has this option, so I guess elivne is right!

Hello all, I'm new to this forum however I have searched to see if someone else has asked this question but have been unable to find anything. I recently took ownership of my own Jasjam, I love my phone to bits but there are some operator settings I am unable to find ANYWHERE... and yes, I am 100% aware that Virgin runs off the optus network however they have their own MMS and internet settings. I have tried the optus ones and I know from past experience they do not work (they didn't work on my Sony Ericsson phone, they do not work on my Jasjam)
I'd dearly love to get the MMS settings as well as information on how to set them up in my phone.. if anyone can please help I'd be forever greatful ^_^
Try this :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35744&d=1174493014
If this is no good call virgin and see if they can direct what to do - use another phone. Sometimes they can send the settings in an sms that automatically updates the phone when you open... Hope this helps...
Would also Hard SPL phone too, for when the flashing bug bites....

Welcome and I'd suggest doing some reading, both on the wiki and on posts... At least some will be entertaining reading to say the least....
Hi People.
First off I'm using a Softbank X01T (in Japan) which I appreciate isn't really supported in this forum.
Just changed from Japanese Rom WM 6 Pro to English 6.1 Pro.
The phone works fine but I have no internet connection. No connection is setup - and Internet Explorer refers me to the connection settings page.
I pay for unlimited internet usage and I'm hoping I can type in some settings, and be back on plan (so to speak).
1. Anyone know the Softbank Internet connection settings please?
2. If we changed roms but didn't change the radio stuff and the phone continues to work as usual - am I to safely presume that the actual voice calls will be billed as per normal or is there a risk of something having changed in the voice/phoning department?
First time tinkering with phones, lovely to be looking at English options instead of Japanese ones. Now I'm only scratching my head trying to get connected!
Thanks for your advice if you have any. Grant.
May want to ask in the hermes forum since that is the device you have and it has more active users than this forum.
Really - I thought it was a different animal altogether.
I have an X01T which is the Japanese Softbank version of the Toshiba G900.
The other nearest sounding phone name is the X01HT which people talk about on here quite a bit.
I respect this site and the intelligent stuff in here and Google points to here a lot so I don't know where else to look. There are some cool and clever Chinese sites doing some great things with this phone but my Chinese can only just about get me spring rolls and a side or Flied Lice!
I'll look around the forum some more...thanks a lot.
I am in US and I just bought a Vodafone branded X1 from Ebay. The description read that the phone is unlocked so I did not really care that it was supplied by Vodafone. I realize now that I may have rushed into buying it since it may be crippled by Vodafone. Should I worry about it? I did some searching on the forums and found out that it does not let some ppl browse the internet in full view w/IE or Opera and some can't stream radio stations from 3G and others can't update email from WiFi while some can. I am not sure how much of it is fact or fiction. Can anyone definitively say which features are disabled or crippled because of the Vodafone brand?
Thanks.

Just a few words.
SPL
Flash original ROM
done....
I got mine T-Mobile unlocked. With crap T-Mobile software on it.
Flashed SPL on it and than the original ROM.
And now I have a de-branded Xperia X1i.
I know it is possible to flash it, but I would prefer not to do it, since I know it will take a lot of my time plus I understand that I will loose the radio panel in the process? as well as warranty and may even get a brick...

Who told you that?
You could flash the original rom (It has the radio panel)
And than put the original spl back.
I did that with the KAiser.
They accepted it cause the original spl was on it.
I have a Vodafone-branded one myself. It wasn't locked thankfully but the Voda altered bits are enough to make me try de-branding it at the weekend.
With the Voda bits on there one thing you'll really need to do is edit the registry keys to give you access to the 'My ISP' settings, rather than delete them if you edit and put in your own network's details then the Live/Messenger stuff should still work (it did for me). Apart from that I haven't had any particular issues using my O2 SIM in it.
Hi
I had a voda branded X1 for a week. everything worked, nothing was blocked, but this was in the UK. The voda actually had some advantages - it never did the X1's pregnant pause trick and optical js scrolling in opera worked correctly. i sent it back due to network issues and then bought the phone outright.
Nigel
to the original poster, you brought a vodafone branded one from ebay and are worried about the warranty?
I doubt VF will want anything to do with you unfortunately if you bought it from a third party.

I think I read that somewhere on the xperiax1.net forums..
So the radio panel stays then...

James, can you pls post a link to the instruction on what to do with the registry..... Thanks
It sounds like internet access won't work with other networks unless you edit the reg! This is just great, anybody wants to buy an x1?

I thought the warranty would be thru SE?

I can't find the post with the details in at the mo, I'll have another look tomorrow!
You don't actually need to edit the registery, just create a new group and set it to default in the Connections app.
I did that but I found that Windows Live wouldn't work because it seems to be hard-coded to use the My ISP settings.
Agreed. You can unlock the Vodafone connections in HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Destinations\<Account> and then modify the ReadOnly key to 0.
I did that, and I could then edit and modify the Vodafone connections, but I still can't connect to Live (and my IMAP email seems to have trouble connecting as well, it doesn't even try). I've removed all entries and started from scratch, but that didn't help.
So if anyone can come up with what exactly to do AFTER you have unlocked the connection entries, I'd appreciate you posting it here.

IMAP works fine with me, but LIVE isn't likely to I don't think. From what I understand you can't access LIVE services from a 6.1 phone, this is the excuse VF were giving for only selling the touchpro through business channels.
Okay, so we're in agreement that the ONLY real limitation is lack of Live support? If so, I need to turn my eyes towards my mail configuration again. Trouble is, as long as it's branded and something goes wrong with the connectivity, I'll always think "Hm, maybe it's Vodafone again"....
After I unlocked the settings I edited the existing connection details for the Contract connection and I deleted the settings for PAYT.
This took a few hard resets to get working and I found that if you delete My ISP the Live stuff will never work.
Roll on the weekend when I can debrand!
Could you give me a few hints as to what you deleted in the end, and what you kept? And maybe also how I go about debranding (link to a topic, I keep getting lost in all the different ones on the subject) - I keep thinking I have a problem because of Vodafone, and that's annoying - even though it might be unrelated or just require correct configuration.
Like I said I deleted the PAYT details and edited the Contract WAP ones.
As for debranding I'm not the one to ask about that because it's new to me too!
also make sue that any internal connections options in the programs are set to use "the internet" rather than my isp or whatever.
"the internet" chooses the best connection available, so wifi if it's on, otherwise will try and connect through cellular.
Hi guys i have looked through alot of threads and i couldn't find the info. Basically i bought a HTC HD2 from Hong Kong back into Jan. Recently i have apply a data plan which i really want to use but i've tried every setting from either my service provider(fido) or from the people online but i still can't get it to work. I called HTC a couple times and i've told taht there's no way around since they said the GPRS bandwidth doesnt match the on in North america. Does anyone knows if it's true? And is there another way to take around? my 1 last question would be does changing the ROM, firmware, radio would help? Thank you so much for every input from you guys!

From what I understand, it is true. The Touch HD2 you bought physically cannot use the 3g band in any network in Canada. I dont' think this is a software limitation, but a hardware limitation so there is nothing a ROM upgrade can do.
