Since rebooting my O2 XDA Exec into Corporate mode, I seem to have no GPRS nor 3G setup as neither will connect to send MMS messages - any ideas?
Dude, corporate mode does not install any of your gprs and mms settings.
If you installed this mode to get rid of the dreadful o2 interface, you would be better installing basic mode.
This gets rid of the o2 rubbish but installs your gprs and mms settings.
Fatzzz
If your interested i have made a cab file with just the O2 connections settings app in it. None of the other Active stuff is there. I did try to upload it to tekguru but had problems so i have it on one of my websites here.

Ahhhhh nice one dude, very helpful - just got to hope my area has 3G coverage now!!
Nice one - so after a hard reset you install corporate mode from the extended rom, then install your cab in personal and all will be set up? Does that include MMS as well as I had real troubles getting Pocket Outlook to see MMS account once in corporate mode and soft reset.
Will try it and see how it goes!
Nice one dude,

NO MATE, I think you'll find its BASIC mode as the chap says - Personal will shove all the O2 crap on there, whereas BASIC just puts the GPRS and 3G settings on - just done it and it works fine!!
HOWEVER when I try to start a 3G video call, it states "The 3G network is not available....", I don't quite get this 3G, do I have one connection that is either GPRS or 3G depending on signal, or are there two connections here, if so, how do I use each?
Anyone on O2 managed to get O2 Video Calling to work to another Exec?
Thanks mate!
No, I was referring to Dingo's cab, when you hard reset you select corporate mode with the code 0506 then run his cab, then as he says on his site, click Personal this time as his cab just contains the Connection settings. Just done it and all seems to be working well - thanks Dingo!!
Thanks for the CAB file, Dingo. Will try it out at the next hard reset.
Not sure if its me, but Hotmail from Pocket MSN seems to be playing up now - can anyone else report the same thing? It keeps freezing when I click on it and Pocket Outlook doesn't see the account.

Yep I have tried the O2 Exec to Exec video dialling. It was nice to try, but wasn't that great. And I think its now 50p per minute, so won't be doing it again in a hurry. :shock:

No apparently until March its charged at the same price as Voice Calls, also can be part of inclusive minutes for voice calls - after that time it'll be 50p as you say.
My mistake, was told differently by a friend. Still won't use it though, sound was delayed and not very clear. :roll:
Cheers
Nasdaq
Glad you find it of use.
The way i do it if i hard reset is after setting up the screen and the O2 stuff is about to install when you get the 3 second countdown i soft reset. This will give you a vanilla install of WM5 on your Universal and none of the Ext ROM will be installed.
This way though you do not get any of the pathces and fixes etc so i selectivly install them from the XDA Exec Ext ROM posted on the xda-dev ftp site
I then install the settings cab i made to enter my O2 Connection settings.
For the most part as described by others above you will probably be best to use corp mode for your initial setup. Then just choose pesonel when you run the CAB i made.
As far as i am aware you can still use this without a hard reset as it only installs the connections app. I have tested on mine and it was ok but would be interested if it works for others.

3G coverage is still a bit thin with O2. If you look at the icon next to your phone signal strength it should read either G or U. If it is G then you are on their NON 3G network, if it displays U then you are on thei 3G network.
I am in a week 3G area at home and mine swaps between the 2 every few minutes.
Ahhhhh interesting...wonder why they chose 'U' for 3G..doesn't quite compute!
Looking forward to playing with 3G at some stage in the future then!

'U' stands for UTMS, which is the system that we call 3G (or 3rd Generation). The 'G' stands for GSM, which is the 2nd generation networks we've all enjoyed using for the last 15 years.

I thought it might be fun too, but the truth is that I know hardly anybody with a video phone, and considering how unreliable the 3G coverage is around where I live (Sussex) it's unlikely to be much use anyway. The whole 3G premise is based on a gimmick IMHO rather than a genuine consumer need. Sure, the data rates are faster and in time this will be a good driver for the technology, but then they charge us a fcuking fortune to use it, so only a handful of people bother. Madness.
Video calling works across networks. I have found many of my relatives have 3 3G mobile phones and are able to receive video calls from me (as on Vodafone video calls are free for a short period and on O2 the rate is the same as voice calls). O2 and Vodafone UMTS download speeds are good (coverage in London is resonable and in Berkshire).
not working
have tried this - I cant connect at all - after hard reseting in corporate then running this cab and setting to personal - it tries to dial mobile web but says it cant connect for an unknown reason - any ideas
Vanilla
works ok on vanilla install - it seems since this thread was started ON hav changed some thing but this cab has no problems after vanilla installl only after corporate - I am gonna run the bug fixing cabs etc in the ext rom manually !!!
My GPRS still aint configured correctly - it connects fine but I get no internet access, its as if the proxy is configured wrong?
Is there a cab that puts the correct 3G and GPRS settings onto my phone without any user configuration required? (and without mucking up my system).
Fellas, anyone of you gentlemen are using X1i with AT&T? Do you have any issues setting up internet and MMS? If you are successful in doing both, Please share with me your set up... Mine is from UK and having a difficult time setting up the X1i... thanks in advance... and yes, i have used the search button - but came up nil.

what i did was pop in my sim card then the auto configuration loaded up. After that I had to restart the phone then I was good to go.
Thank you... mine doesn't seem to auto load the settings... I wonder what gives?
I actually had to call to give the my imei details then i was up and away.
it detected my settings the att guy said user/pass wasnt used anymore blanked that out but the rest of the settings were fine
you need to go to start/settings/phone/network
click on find network and that should start the auto config
Same here...
Just slid in my Sim card, turn the X1i on..
Pop show up asking to setup for AT&T...
Do you have the "Generic UK" rom??
Stuart
mine also auto configured when i first put my sim card in. i have an x1a. i found out that my internet connection wouldnt work when i powered down my phone. i had to re configure my networks settings again. now i dont power my phone down when i want to turn off my phone. i just use the communication manager to turn off the phone.
any one else notice that... that is if they power down the phone using the button, that after turning back on, the internet isnt working anymore (onboard internet or my bluetooth dun for tethering doesnt work after powering down unless i re auto configure my phone network settings).
No problem with powering my X1i down at all......
Can connect to both wap and isp access points without a problem..

did u get it working?
Yes, I finally got it to work... window mobile is still very new to me... thank you all for your input.
sorry if this has been discussed. its been hard to search b/c the search engine continues to delete "3" from my searches.
basically, i was wondering if people had any issue with 3 sim cards working in the telstra hd2?
my friend has got several hd2 phones from telstra and is offering to sell me one. he assures me the phone is unlocked as well.
we tried plugging my 3 sim card into his telstra hd2 and for some reason i wasn't getting any reception. tried a vodaphone sim and it worked.
i currently have an omnia and know how to change all the mms, internet etc settings but is there something i need to do with the telstra hd2's setting to find 3's 3g network for voice calls?
thanks for any help you guys can provide me.
Technically there shouldn't be any issues with reception. Your friend might have locked his phone to WCDMA 850MHz though, which is a band that only Telstra transmits on. Check his baseband setting.

that is what i was thinking as well, the question is now:
how do i check his basband settings? unfortunately i don't have the phone on my now, but is it is pretty straight forward? i.e. going into settings -> baseband etc?
Open the Comm Manager by tapping the notification area and then on the network reception button. Tap on "Phone" then its on the bottom- "Band"

I have a Telstra HD2, that I bought a week ago, and am using on 3.
The phone is unlocked, and should auto setup when powered up first time with your 3 SIM card in it.
I used it a few days with stock rom, then flashed to another.
A few things to do.
Probably best to do a hard reset of phone, with SIM in, and let it reconfigure and start. (to hard reset, hold down the VOL UP and VOL DOWN buttons while turning on, and follow the instructions)
When all done, set locale, time, etc
Need to set the voicemail number (333)
Need to change connections to use PLANET 3, and not MOBILE INTERNET
Planet 3 homepage on the mobile should be HTTP://THREE.NET.AU (no WWW)
As it uses 850 when in country, it will roam on data on the Next G network (I beleive), and would be referred to by 3 (if they had it) as a MEGA MOBILE (tho you would want a BIG bank balance if ya gonna data roam on Telstra)
I am in Perth, and no probs with it with 3

sweet. thanks.
i actually now think the issue was that i was putting the sim card into the phone incorrectly.
i just got it and am trying to figure this phone out now.
do you recommend any roms for me to flash?

Just open the back case and softreset to get it back to normal.
On 3 with a Telstra HD2 also. Works perfectly normal, but I flashed out of the Telstra ROM - running Miri16 atm, works fantastic
One thing with three.net.au is that it doesn't recognise the HD2 in some places, hence I have wordsmith's Opera Personality Switcher to mimic an iPhone.

Reception problem with using 3 sim in Melbourne Australia
Hi Friends,
I am using Htc HD2 with 3 sim in Melbourne Australia. The problem which i face is my phone mostly go to Emergency call mode automatically ( than I have to turn off the phone and turn on ....)
Can any one suggest me some good tips to getrid from this issue.

Hi Ali+htcHD2,
I believe that you have your 'network settings' configured to WCDMA only.
Go into your Comm Manager > Phone Settings > Menu > Netowrk Selection > Band > Select your Network type > Auto
Do this for both drop down menu's on that page, and then hit ok.
This should fix your problem!
Does anyone know what methods the HD2, TG01 and s200 switch band modes? I like to use GSM only mode for phone calls and background data transfers like My Phone syncing and e-mail for better battery consumption, but using the engineering menu to switch bands is a bit of a pain.
Also, I find that my IQ never switches to GSM mode (G or E) when using the Automatic band setting. Does the eXpo exhibit the same behaviour? I'm wondering if Telus did something to prevent it from trying to switch to GSM mode automatically since they only have a 3G network.
My LQ have it. I want to switch only GSM band but can not. Select phone setting, have not band switch, only select network auto or manual. I try to install any software for manager GPRS, 3G, Band switch but software does not work or work but not effective.
I am very disappointed with the LG phone. Because selecting the Band is very importance for PDA.
If you are still using a stock ROM, then you will need to install the attached CAB. It adds the option to switch between 2G, 3G and Auto. You can find the setting under \Settings\Personal\Phone.
I have just installed this software, It work perfectly. I do not understand why LG have not been install this software from the original room?
From there, my LG battery save about 20 per cent more.

agreed. Also I am running one of darks roms, (not the current one) and it does not have the band switching option. do you know if I will save some battery even though I have a 2g only carrier (usa tmobile).
It's hard to say if it will make a difference. In 2G mode it won't even try to connect in 3G which it might be doing now.
This control panel applet was extracted from the GW825V ROM. I imagine if LG was to release a newer firmware for the eXpo, it would have it as well.

For saving battery when you switched 2G Band, you should reduce Backlight, normaly using ALC in Backlight setting.
So I came across this thread and figured since I'm on T-mobile as well it would probably save me some battery power since I consistently see a notification on my phone telling me it's trying to connect to 3G. Anyways, after I installed the cab it seamed to have jumbled up a lot of the text in LG settings (I use it because it's easier to navigate than the WM settings). The functions in the settings still work the same as they should, but the text prompting you as to what they do is completely different. For example instead of the text 'settings' it says 'use as' and instead of 'date and time' it says 'password prompt if device ....' and instead of 'security' it says 'please turn on bluetooth' and so on. This only seems to happen in the LG settings and not the WM settings. Any ideas how to get this program to work without the issues I listed?
Unfortunately, LG likes to make life difficult for us.
In order for this to work, I had to include LGString.dll and LGString.dll.0409.mui from the GW825V. The MUI doesn't match up with the version of LG Settings on your phone.
If you want I can put together a version without replacing those two files. I believe it should work except you wouldn't have any text on the Band Settings tab.

That would be great actually. I don't need to be able to see the text as long as you tell me what each one is. Plus I'd only be using it the one time to turn on 2G only. Thanks.
Just to clarify, you are using a LG eXpo on the T-Mobile USA network?
The CAB I posted adds the option to manually set the bands between auto, GSM and UMTS(3G). The option is found under \Settings\Personal\Phone. Does this work on your phone? Making a new cab without the extra files will correct the issues with LG Settings but it will not make the feature work if it doesn't already.

Sorry, I thought I replied to this last week. I must have forgotten hit submit. Anyways, yes I am using the LG expo on T-Mobile USA network. Also while using the CAB you posted the features did work just that the LG settings were having issues like I was talking about. Thanks.
Actually, if you don't intend to switch back and forth, you can just go into the engineering menu and switch it to GSM mode there.
Dial : 3845#*820#
Modem setting\Band Setting\Select GSM
This way you don't need to worry about installing anything.
The control panel option is nice if you like to have the option to switch back and forth without going into the engineering menu.

Hey all, today I unlocked a UK O2 HTC HD2 and I'm now using it with a T-Mobile SIM which is great - calls and texts are fine. However I cannot use my mobile data connection which (I think) is because I need another radio flashing. Is there any way of doing this through mAGLDR/cLK (as I don't have the original WP6.5 ROM and my laptop refuses to use the RUU to restore WP6.5 on my phone).
Also I'm not 100% certain that it's a radio issue as GPS, WiFi and other data connections work. I've downloaded T-Mobile's settings to use on the phone, too, which are currently installed.
I've searched for ages on this and I don't think another question like this exists, but if it does please just link me to it
Thanks in advance,
-Adam

Lol, sometimes just opening a setting and then exiting "refreshes" the setting and android applies it. As long as you see that ther is an APN(which from your post was T-Mobile UK) then all should be well.
