you still can use O2 rom , or Qtek or Dopod rom , it work fine with T-Mobile services.

I would keep using the O2 ROM over anybody else's ... I've been using my XDA exec since early october '05 here in California and it's great ... specially if it's connected with an exchange server .... the only drawback would be you need to manually configure the GPRS/3G settings on the device ... well if you have this kind of device then you should configure that easily ...
can't wait for the XDA Trion or maybe get the Qtek 8500 too ... he he he

so you can use the o2 rom, what sim card/carrier are you using, i thought the o2 roms locked the device to o2 sims only?

From what I understand O2s are factory unlocked. I'm using an o2 Exec on O2s 1.13 ROM with Cingular.

I had tried all the ROMs available, from T-Mobile, O2, Dopod, etc... To me, the QTEK ROM offers more stability, less customizations, good signal with radio 1.09.00, and supports both AKU2 and A2DP.

02 uk rom?

Has anyone managed to get a tytn working on the uk o2 network? o2 say theu do not support the phone although they have the phone in germany listed as an xda trion. I can make calls and texts with my simcard but have no 3g access as yet. The phone was originally on vodaphone. Any help appreciated !

dont you just need to edit the connection settings for o2?
these should be the same for any o2 phone that uses 3g...
i believe they are posted on the wiki

thanks for quick answer
Thats what i thought, but phoned o2 for the settings and they just kept saying that the "software" in this phone is not compatible with o2 network and therefore there is no support for it and no settings ! MUPPETS !
Any idea where i can find the settings for a normal o2 phone?
Worth a try, I really want this phone on o2 !

I smell COW DUNG!!!! O2 are spinning rubbish to you sir...ive been using a TyTN since the middle of August with O2-UK (see stats hehehe).
Il get my settings into a .txt file for you...theres some variations you can use but il set you up with the ones that work ok??
What are you on PAYG or Contract???
P.S: My TyTN is a genuine HTC TyTN (i.e not a varioII or imate JASJAM variation of it) bought it unbranded(unlocked) from mobilefun.co.uk....sim free.

Theres a cab file with the O2 UK settings somewhere on this forum I usen it all the time. Sorry I don't have the link anymore after the XDA Dev switch to new servers. Also O2 3G works perfectly fine with the tytn. What you do have to have is a 3G enabled sim card, I had to get mine changed for one & also do you have O2 3G coverage where you are? To determine if you have just whip out the sim card & it should have 3G printed on it.

Yer if your SIM is not a 3G enabled one (USIM) then give O2 a bell and say you have recently aquired a 3G handset and need a new SIM card for it to work with the 3G service....they should send one out (for free)...when it turns up just call O2 again and get them to enable it.
What they said about the TyTN not being supported is a crock of sh*t .... im guessing they will only give you the settings when its an O2 handset!?

Forgot to add the O2 3G settings are exactly the same as the normal GPRS. You just need a 3G enabled sim card

Need Help!! Blackberry client on X01HT

I have problem getting blackberry client to work on X01HT that I had bought last week.
Currently I owned a dopod 838 pro and X01HT. I had no problem installing and getting it to work on dopod 838 pro but when I install the client on X01HT, the blackberry service will show "not connected" then "stopped". No matter how many time I restart the service / reset/ flash the unit to other carrier's rom or different bootloader version. It just doesn't work.
The X01HT has Supercid and are able to flash to any rom without problem. Just could not get the BB client working.
I had tried using different version of BB client 2.1.2.20 and 2.1.2.16.
Wonder is there is anything different hardware wise btw 838pro and X01HT apart from the keypad layout.
Both 838pro and X01HT has dopod English 1.23.707.4 bootloader 1.04.
I had also test flashing the 838pro and install the same BB client and it works on every single rom that I flash to including HTC, Cingular, Imate..
Can someone please help me. Thanks.

What airtime provider were you using on your dopod? I know that bb connect only works if the phone / pda you are using it on has the stock rom installed for the airtime provider that you have your BB contract with.
For example, I have a Vodafone BB contract. If I put a Cingular or O2 ROM on my pda and try and re-install BB connnect I will get the same error as you. The carriers tend to block devices that dont have the correct ROM installed.

They might be true, but I have a Treo 750v (Vodapone ROM) on a Cingular network and BB Connect works fine.

Thank you for your kind input. I am using the same sim card swapping between the 2 units when I am testing. As mentioned, both 838pro and X01ht are using the same rom, both are supercid. The only difference is Hermes 100 / 200 which hardware specifications are the same.
Do you think if flashing the MDA Vario II rom on X01HT might make it to work?
i.e. At least get the PIN being register on the BES server, coz right now, after I install the BB client on X01HT, not only it didn't connected, when I look @ the PIN is said "Pending".

By the way, I am using T-mobile carrier in US.

Hi Mate, I have the same problem, ROM 1.23.707.4, Radio, 1.06.. did you ever find a solution?

SIM Access ORBIT 2 lock

Hello, i have a big problem regarding a ORBIT2 from O2. The guys at O2 dont understand my problem , so i hope as the last hope you can help me. As you know the Orbit2 is the same as HTC cruise, o2 has no sim-lock here in germany. I use a sim-card from another telephone company and all works fine. I have problems with the sim-access profile. In my car i have a Nokia 616 Bluetooth hands free unit built in which supports sim- access profile. If i try to establish a connection between the orbit2 and my in car unit it works to the point as they handle out the password. After i confirm the given password from the handsfree device it tells me that the simcard i not valid. Is in the orbit 2 a lock on the bluetooth sim access profile which means that only o2 Simcards are allowed for the Sim access ? Can you please help me, because here is no one which understands my problem. Maybe i can have another firmware to solve the problem,the phone itself is simlock-free.
I dont understand why it is only possible with o2-sim cards to have the sim access functionality.
Can anybody help me?
Greetings Wolfman-Jack

Sorry I don't have an answer to your problem; I understand car kits using SAP are quite new.
Could you tell me how well it works with other phones in general, and how much you paid?
I understand the SAP system means the car kit has it's own "phone" but accesses your SIM card to connect to the network?

Hi there,
it works great!
You turn on your ignition key and the car kit start opening the connection to your cellular phone in your pocket without any touch of a button ect...
After your drive, you switch of the motor and the car unit disconnects the connection and give the cellular phone its function back.
A great thing, but believe me iam so disappointed that my new Orbit from O2 rejects my simcard but only in combination to my car hands free unit....
Greetings to UK!

Hi,
interesting. So just to be clear you tried
1) o2 sim in orbit II - sim access works fine
2) other net sim in orbit II- sim access not work?
if that's the case you could try flashing a new rom, but I would suggest u wait a bit. Maybe check in the kaiser (o2 stellar) forum, for same prob and how to resolve it.

check compatibility of your bluetooth car kit with Polaris seems to be ok
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/6084.htm
"This product is compatible with:
. . . .
HTC: Advantage, MTeoR, P3300, P3400, P3600, P4350, P6300, P6500, S310, S620, S710, S730, Touch, Touch Cruise, Touch Dual, TyTN, TyTN II"
so that's out of the way

ORBIT2 O2 Lock on SIM ACCESS
Hi Jackster,
i have meanwhile a little more what i have checked out.
Yesterday i took all sim-cards which have been in nearby range and what a big surprise all worked fine.
I tried prepaid cards of Vodafone, T-Mobile, and E-PLus and a contract card of E-Plus.
The only simcard which was rejected during the try of connect to the bluetooth devise is my own BASE-SIM-CARD .
BASE is by the why part of EPLUS company thats the FLATRATE PART of EPLUS.
After i tested all, i called my friend which has also an BASE contract and what another big surprise his card also didn`t work.
After all brainstorming it seems that only that BASE-cards were declined.
Next step is to find out what the differences are between all cards and the BASE sim card is. Maybe UMTS and normal GSM????
Maybe a protocol problem, because in my E51 from Nokia all cards also the BASE-CARDS works fine.
Greetings
Wolf

Wolf, I would suggest trying BASE related forums, as the same issue might happen with other handsets.
You might also try phoning BASE, tell them your problem, and asking if they have another type of SIM card you can try, even if you have to pay €10.
Good luck, and please let us know if you find the solution.

good luck

Update and News
Hi there,
i wanna update my investigations.
It works with normal GSM cards (like my old prepaid) but not with the new UMTS cards.
And my provider only has that new UMTS cards.
Maybe i can remove the program in my Phone which is in charge for the SIM-ACCESS Profile and replace it to another version ??????

it would be difficult to get an old simcard, cause all provider deliver as new card so called USIM Card, most times with 72k Size. Try to get a blank E-Plus Simcard in an phoneshop and call the hotline, ask them for a sim card change and tell them you have a blank simcard you can use (dont tell its an eplus sim card) the cant check it, they will reaktivate your simcard with your base number without questions only minor change... in the phone your provider will be stated as E-Plus cause its programmed in your simcard.

Hello Wolf,
i have the same problem with my new Touch Cruise and my Nokia 616. I tried several Sims´s the last 2 days. One Vodafone (UMTS), one normal O2 (UMTS), one O2-Multicard (UMTS) and one old E-Plus (GSM).
The E-Plus Sim was the only one wich operated normally in SAP-Mode. The other Sim-Cards hanged by connecting after pairing. After turning the igniton off and on, this cards asked for the PIN but they didn´t find a network.
Have you tried another Firmware likes Bepes???

Hello LM76,
no i havent heard about that.
Can you tell me more.

Vodafone STK service problem.

Hi, i have a spv m600 unlocked and flashed to wm6.1 "bikertibis 21057"
my vodafone simcard adds an extra icon to the menu that allows me to check my balance and top up my payg etc. however no matter what option i choose it just returns a load of garbled text on the screen EG: £"!312£
the actual simcard does work and i can make\recieve calls and connect to the net etc
i tried the sim in a n95 and all of the vodafone functions work.
my t-mobile simcard however does function in my m600 and blanace checker etc works fine so its a vodafone/prophet issue.
FYI the features didnt work on the standard orange rom or the official i-mate rom either.
Any way to fix this or is it something i need to live with?
cheers Dave
