switch between two sim!

hi to all, anyone now a light program that you permit to switch two sim?
i've bought a dual ghost sim but now i don't now anything about witch sim is in use!
someone could help me?

Actually in Hong Kong, it has 2 types of dual sim slot, ie., with STK (Sim tool kit) function and without.
If it got STK function, it will call the stk application automatically on your program area, and u can select which sim to use.
If no STK function, u just need to switch on / off between flight mode and it will switch

many thx but is not what i'm searching..
i'm looking for a today plugin that show wich sim is in use!

Look at this Page http://toosten.de/index.php?seite=sw&id=4
Ist a german Software Developer! I think the Software can get only in German!
I think its that kind of program u search for.
Perhaps u can connect the Developer to implant an English interface.

Take a look at PhoneAlarm (PocketMax ) or PhoneDashboard ( hudsonmobile ).
Phonedashboard shows on wich network you are.
PhoneAlarm shows the strengh of the network signal and if you click on it it shows you on wich network you are.

many thx for all people's reply.
@Switchcorp
this two progrs i've already tested but they are too heavy for my battery they requires too much resource!
@no_Legend
i don't know why this great program doesn' works in my qtek!
hehe I hope in a new version soon!
if anyone as a new idea please post here!!
many thx

I dont know it should work! Some other Qtek User are working with it perfectly. Perhaps it's a problem with your Firmware at the german os it's working great.
I will contact the developer perhaps he can explans us why it is not working with your qtek!
I will post the new information when i get them!

I am using a Magician and a Motorola MPX220, both with a duplicated SIM Card (2 Cards). Of course, not both can be used at the same time, so I find Wivit's Software an easy way to quickly turn off my phone on the magician.

@hrb
so your using 1 number in each phone, albeit the same number? or have you got two numbers on each sim?
Speedn

where to get this ghostsim.
hi,
where do you get this DUAL SIM for the magician???
where do you buy this covering..
can somebody post a link pls..

I've bought this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6414061281&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
This requires you to cut the sims; this was straight forward.
Some people say it doesn't work with UK 02 monthly sims; I have one, and an Orange PAYG, and they both work perfectly in the Magician.
It took quite a lot of repositioning of the little cut sims - the multisim works perfectly in a nokia because it puts pressure on the back of the SIM to keep it in place. The Magician only puts pressure on the very edges of the SIM, so I stuck a tiny bit of blue tak under the metal cover that covers the mini sims, to bulk it out tiny bit, and it works perfectly.
There are apparantely other very similar products eg
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67966&item=6416678468&rd=1
that use the "STK" menu (SIM tool kit) to allow you to switch sims without switching to flight mode and back. However, I've read a review that says such STK cards suck power more quickly than the others. I can't comment - mine doesn't seem to use the STK menu, but it doesn't really bother me.
I also think that when ebaying, unless you expressly search for an STK card, you will get one that doesn't use it.
So: cutting is no problem, just measure twice, cut once etc.
Requires a lot of careful positing in the Magician, so it's best to have a spare phone (eg a nokia) to test it in to ensure it works first, so you know the problem isnt' the sims.
Also, hah hah, I found that removing the battery from the Magician for more than a few minutes coursed a hard reset, of course, so ensure you backup before doing this procedure cus you'll have your battery on and off throughout.
Good luck y'all!

Can I use locked mda pro only as pocket pc ?

My mda pro is locked, can I still use it as pocket pc ??
whenever I start it without sim it only display T-mobile startup logo & dont go forward?
Tell me if its normal ? how can I use it as pda ??
thanks in advance for help.

Locked phones are in 99% of the cases stolen phones.
We don't do stolen phones here..
The behaviour you describe is NOT normal with the Qtek ROM.
Nor with the O2 ROM, I think.
You could perhaps reflash to a different ROM?

Thanks for your reply, sorry offence not meant but plz keep your stupid comments with yourself.
just now I hard-reset & yes it solved the problem...
However just to clear things, I bought this phone very cheap from uk locked to T-mobile with the hope that its unlocker tool will be available soon

It is definately not normal. From whom did you buy this phone from? You probably want to go back to the store and have it checked. Have you tried a hard/cold reset?
You said that it will not run without a sim, so have it ever run with a sim (t-mobile or not)? If it did run before, I rest my case. If not, the phone definately not behaving.

I feel that my comment was rightfully made.
This forum does not like stolen goods, and we do make others aware.
As for the term "Locked", I have seen this used on both "Subscriber Locked" and "Barred/Banned" phones.
You have a "Locked" phone that you wish to use without a SIM card.
I then assumed that you had a stolen device.
How ever, I still gave a good answer to your question:

Yes, I am aware of this. How ever, I do believe that T-Mobile unlocks the phones for a fee?

As I said; I have given you my best answer; try a different ROM.
My Qtek ROM has no problems letting me boot without a SIM card.
I allso believe that the O2 ROM will let you do this.
With this knowledge in hand, I suspect that the T-Mobile ROM could have some software restriction that disables the use of the device without a SIM card.
The way to solve the problem would then be to flash the device with a different ROM.
You could alternatively try to reflash with a newer T-Mobile ROM.
[Edit]Perhaps this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38590?[/Edit]
So, the next time..
Please think twice before you refer to an answer as "stupid comment"?[/url]

If I start my O2 Exec without a SIM in it, I get a password entry box for the phone similar to the default one for my password-protected SIM, and there's a message saying that only emergency calls can be made ... blah blah..., but I can cancel this password screen and get to the Today screen and use the machine as normal. I think I press the Windows key on the keyboard to bring up the Start menu, from where I can choose the Today screen.
If your machine is locked by T-mobile in a way that means you can't get past a block screen then I'd say this is T-mobile protecting their investment if you don't have a valid SIM card.
Assuming you've tried a hard-reset already without success, you've got two options, I think:
- buy a PAYG SIM from T-mobile just to fool the machine
- flash the ROM to that of another provider (such as O2 UK) who doesn't impose a similar lock
Without knowing more about the T-mobile lock you're seeing it's hard to say more. I know that my O2 phone isn't locked permanently though.
Hope this helps.

Thus confirming my believes.
Thank you!

2 things :
- 1 : if tou want to unlock our MDA PRo call T-Mobile, pay £15, wait few days and you will have the code.
- 2 : normally there is no problem to use your Mda Pro as a PPC even if it is simlocked to T-Mobile. Just switch Off the telephone application. Try to put any simcard in, it does not matter anyway. If you're stuck with the boot screen your problem may be linked to a rom problem. Nothing to do with the simlock.

My MDA Pro SIM locked T-Mobile Germany works fine without any SIM card inserted.

Or to simplify get a t-mobile paygo sim from the uk.

Some very basic questions about m5000, roms, apps, software

Firstly, i have just received my m5000 that i bought from ebay.
i am a novice and i do have loads of questions. i do hope, although some of the questions are likely to be stupid, that i will not insult you.
roms
as far as i understand, this is the combitation of design and software that can be installed on my device - am i correct?
Also, from reading the forum, the most popular rom is o2 exec - is it worth overwriting my orange rom? if you had m5000 - would you do it?
does this o2 exec rom have tomtom navigation? or how can i add it?
Device itself
How to switch the thing off??? this question puzzled me for the whole day - how do i completly switch off this thing to change the simcard for example??
games
Are there any good games i can download? ) What will you recommend, as it got boring at work lately
simlock
my device is locked to orange, but i use Three. Is it worth getting this unlocked at orange (i will have to contact the seller, pay 20 pounds, etc...) or would you in my place just get the orange sim for now? I know there is no exact answer to my question, but what will you do?
sorry again for some basics, i hope i did not annoy you too much!

Switching off
Hi,
You can switch your M5000 by entering the program called "Wireless Manager". In there, click on "All Off". You will notice that you mobile network, bluetooth and Wifi will stop. Then you can just power off your M5000 and wait for 10 seconds before you can remove your battery.
That's how I will switch off my O2 Exec.
Good luck!
Regards,
Johnnie

And why? I just take the battery out if I wanna take the SIM out :lol:
IGS, please respect time of people here and spend some time researching first. Read the posts from last few days, use search function, use google. All the answers are there. And only if you can't find it then ask questions like this.
To get the navigation software and hardware - you have to buy it
If you wanna use your 3 simcard, unlock the device, if not, what's the point?
ROM is like Windows on your PC, an operation system without which your M5000 won't work.
Games: there is a very good topic called GAMES FOR EXEC

SPV M5000 newbie - advice please

Hi everyone, I've just purchased an SPV M5000 off ebay and it should be with me on Wednesday. I've been reading up on this for a few hours but still have some questions which I'd appreciate some help with if you can.
I understand the Orange SPVM5000 is sim locked, is this true and how easy is it to unlock. I will be using this with an iBook and The Missing Sync software. I can use virtual PC if need be to flash the rom, but would I be better off going to a shop / market stall and paying a tenner?
My first question is: is the Orange branding as slow as the O2 Active branding? I'd hate it to be as slow as some reviews are saying.
I have read a lot about the corporate install option on the O2 XDA Exec, I presume this is available on the SPV M5000 as well - can someone please confirm? I have read that you need to enter the O2 connection settings on the Exec when you enter corporate mode, do you have to do this on the M5000 as well? If so can someone please post the settings?
If I flash the rom or debrand the phone, will I need to contact Orange to get GPRS & MMS re-enabled? They told me that they won't help me directly as I did not register the phone.
I am really looking forward to getting this but want to get it running at a good speed, so any assistance would be gratefull received.
James

First I would like to say you made a great choice going with Windows Mobile. After my first device I considered myself a spokesperson for WM.
I also had an Orange SPV M5000 in the past and if you call them up they will give you the unlock code. The free way would be to get Buzz_Lightyears sim unlock tool available from his website buzzdev.net
If you feel confident enough you can do everything to the phone yourself, but as it is a very expensive unit you have think twice about doing any flashing to the phone.
My o2 active UI was very slow, and only got slower as more programs were open. The orange one responds a bit faster, but I dont know many people who keep the original stuff on there anyway. There are so many programs out there that can do alot more.
I do not believe there is a corporate mode install on the Orange version but you dont need any connection settings anyway.
Once you get the phone you will have to configure the network settings for MMS and GPRS yourself. I notice that u have are with fido as I am, but am pretty sure the settings will be different since you are in the states.
You can try these setting for GPRS and see if they work:
APN: wap.fido.ca (or mayb .com)
USER: fido
PASS: fido
Your last question about speed is that there are so many programs out there that enable you to do what you want but you have to keep in mind that each open program slows the phone down so you have to make a compromise somewhere.
Hope this helps

Thank you very much for your help. I set my profile up wrong initially when I registered on here, I am actually in the UK and will probably use an Orange SIM for the phone, so I don't really need to unlock it I guess.
I would like to change the software though, could you tell me what settings I will need to enter and where (I will find the actual values for Orange UK)?
Many thanks
James

If yes, is it complicated process?
Please advice
Kind regards,
Arian

Hey,
if you do a little research on this forum and its wiki it's not hard to find the methods to reflash your Universal with another provider ROM. If this is what you mean by debrand
Take a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
If you find any error it's quite possible you'll find its solution in the forum already
Good luck!

SPV m1500!

Hello all...This may be my first post but i have beed watching the forum for quite a long time!You are doing a great work around here!
I need a big favor from anyone that can help!Does anyone have the original SPV m1500 rom provided by orange and can upload it somewhere for me to download?Or can anyone back up his ROM from a m1500 and upload it somewhere?
And i have question as well and i would be grateful if you could answer this one!
If you haven't CID unlocked your phone and somehow managed to upgrade the ROM with a different make's one (i have one from Qtek 2020i at the moment) will it be blocked by the network or is a matter that the person that i bought it from (over ebay) reported it as lost/stolen?Currently everything works fine apart from the phone bit!It says no service and can't detect any network!(it just says ''unable to read setting from the network.Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again'').
Any help would be greatly appreciated
