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

One of our guys got the XDA2 from O2 partly so he could get his email and browse the web while travelling. We assumed that by now O2 would have GPRS deals set up with most of the world's telcos. But not so. They have voice deals with most of the Middle East countries but not GPRS. Is this because these countries have not yet rolled out GPRS or simply that O2 haven't negotitaed a deal yet. Second question - if say Omantel has got GPRS, can he buy a cheapo phone there and subscribe for their GPRS access, but swap the SIM card into his XDA 2 while he is in Oman

sorry but what is the question if there are any ?

Hi Rudeguy :wink: here they are again then:

...... since the forum is called 'Using it' I thought these reasonable questions to ask.
Thanks Mike
if o2 dont have a grps roaming deal with the country or if they dont have grps i dont know sorry
if they do have grps then he should be able to get a valid sim for their network and put it in his xda without any problems (in that way it works just like any other callphoene)
but of cause new grps, mms and wap settings would most likely be typed in manualy
about the question thing then well i suppose i just skim'd the text looking for the ? sign
OK ... that sounds promising. But what's this 'locked/unlocked' thing I keep seeing? Is it that straightforward to put in a different SIM card, or have O2 somehow locked the XDA2 to their network?
Question marks included this time .... last post was from my XDA2 ... it doesn't have question marks :wink:
Mike
The xda2 usually comes locked to the network you purchased it from. You can use xda2unlock from this forum to open your phone to all networks, try clicking the shift key on your xda2 keyboard, you might be surprised and see a ????? key.
I've searched this can can't find anything...I was wondering if i could use the Exec on my cingular plan without having to change anything. I'd like to be able to use my existing SIM card with it. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can , but you need had unlock O2 Exec , I used Cingular in my Exec work fine.
I got the same problem with you, I cant get it work with Cingular service and I cant get any solutions from searching net. I have tried to talk with them, go to their stores and do whatever I can. The result still the same, it really make me headache....I have already paid for 2 months fee in "NO SERVICE" condition and they cannot do anything!
O2 XDA Exec issue with cingular ....
O2 XDA Execs come unlocked from O2. When i received mine when it came first out in early october 2005, i just plugged in my Cingular SIM and there wasn't any problems. Though note that the SIM location is a little iffy at times, you shouldn't have a lot of problems.
You would also need to configure the GPRS settings on the Exec.
BTW, noticing you're from MO, which phone were you using prior to the Exec? it might give me more of an idea of your situation ...I've been using GSM phone for a while and i know that Cingular didn't have a full GSM network until a couple of months ago ... and if you came from AT&T then that's another ballgame as well ... AT&T used a mix of different standards as well ...

I was using MDA II before EXEC. Start from May, I can't get the signal anymore, at first I thought it was my MDA problem, so I changed it to EXEC. But, who knows? The same problem still there. Cingular just blame O2 that the EXEC has problem, and they do nothing.
Are you using EXEC now? How to change the GPRS setting?
In addition, I was Cingular customer about 1.5 year already. This problem happen since May. I really have no idea how to solve it.
Hi guys, great forums, have learnt so much in past few days.
I have an m5000 but i'd like to use it on o2. So reflashed with aku3.2 beta8 and inserted o2 sim.
I now need the o2 settings if anyone would be kind enough to give them me, can't seem to get 3g on o2 either, where as my orange sim instantly displays "U" when it turns on.
That's the only major problem at the moment....
a simple google search will get you the settings
what i had to do to get my 3g working, was use a 3g sim card. I couldn't use my old O2 sim, so i had to activate the 3G one that came with my exec.
hope this was helpful
Hi,
I have been given a sim free HTC Tytn and want to use it with UK Vodafone. I currently have an ex-Orange SPV M2000 which i unlocked and it has been working fine with my Vodafone sim. With my M2000 i can make calls and browse the internet at the same time, but with the new Tytn i cannot do this
Is there a fix, should i upgrade it to the latest version or perhaps try and flash it with the V1605 Vodafone flash??
Advice really appreicated from one of the many knowledgeable people on here please,
Cheers
I upgraded my M2000 to a M3100 (with Orange UK) and they said I had to have a new sim. That could be it.
Alternatively when I got my M3100 it had a *very* early radio rom, and I had some probs receiving calls while browsing. Recent roms have sorted this, I think.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have installed the HTC UK Settings .CAB file from this helpful post
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
I can now access internet using my contract Orange contract sim card (which has GPRS activated) although if i am on the telephone i cannot go to browse without ending the telephone call.
my Vodafone contract sim needs updating so is not available for GPRS, but i presume this will be exactly the same.
Is it IMPOSSIBLE to use Internet browsing whilst making a telephone call??
All help appreciated, Many Thanks
if youre just on the GPRS network and not UTMS\HSPDA then yes its impossable to talk and surf. the whole point of 3G was to be able to do both at the same time. GPRS can only do one thing as the same with EDGE
so in short GPRS\EDGE = one thing at a time
UTMS\HSPDA = two things at the same time.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I have just spoken to Orange customer services and i do have a 3G sim card and it is active, is there anything i should be altering in the settings menu or anything other files that need to be flashed or installed onto the phone?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge - hope one of you experts can help!
Thank you
Can anyone help me pleasse????
Hi,
I recently obtained an HTC Hermes (MDA Vario II) which I am using with a contract O2 UK SIM card. It's working fine for voice and SMS and the WiFi data connectivity is also OK but I can't connect to O2 GPRS because I don't have the right settings for WAP.
O2 won't give them to me as I'm supposed to get them by running the "get settings" program flashed onto the device, obviously I have the wrong version as the device was originally sold by T-mobile.
If anyone's got working settings for network connectivity and MMS on O2 UK I would be most grateful if you could post them.
Cheers.

The O2 Payg settings are here:

The rest I can post later if needs be, but they are reasonably easily Googled.
Mike
Here is a cab file I use for O2 uk settings, it can be set up for PAYG or monthly contract.
@BOZ
That's just too easy, in my day you'd have to fetch out a stack of punch cards - nowadays it's a cab file for this an exe for that! What's the world coming to!
Mike
Hi Mike, using the cab file instead of inputting by hand means I save enough time to make a nice mug of tea!

Once you memorise the settings, enterring manually is down to a fine art hehe

I will stick to the mug of tea, my other half thinks I am super glued to my pc, at least a cuppa keeps her sweet, especially as I am pulling that new Russian rom apart.
