have bought an exec to use with my 3 sim on three network , has anyone any sites that have the 3g gprs settings etc mms files etc to set it up as three customer services just laugh and say, ooo we dont sell that fone , dont know good luck.....
any help would be great
thanks
I don't think that phone can work on 3 network. I think it is of an complete different 'frequency'. Can you make/receive phone calls using the 3 sim?
yes, calls work etc not tried a video call as yet but i know lots of fones dont work at all with the 3 sim but the exec does
Same here
I have been using O2 XDA Exec on 3UK. Same problem can not set up the GPRS or the MMS.
Help needed please.

You can input all the settings, but I can't seem to be able to access the 3 portal.
In settings, connections tab, connections
advanced tab, select networks
new, and input the relevant info from here:
Data accounts: Create one called 3 GPRS.
APN: three.co.uk
Username:
Password:
Login request: Off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address:
DNS address:
Authentication: Normal
Data compression: Off
Header compression: Off
MMS settings can be entered via outlook menu
gateway: http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
proxy: 217.171.192.2
port: 8799
(account is the 3UK avvount above)
Not sure if u need to input the Video gateway.
If anyone know how to actually open the portal, plz help,
I think the problem is that the page detects what device you are using, and an exec is not on their list.
My A1000 uses Opera so it cant be that much different...
Thanx Aristotle
3GRPS seems to work ok, considering that on EXEC it will not display any service pages still but does connect to 3.
Though the MMS settings are not working. I am not able to download my MMS messages and send either any suggestions.
Thankyou in advance
In Australia, so for we have got the Universal to connect to planet3, 3G for internet access, and video calling. We still have not managed to get it working for mms, and video streaming.

Oh that's good, is there anything special you need to do to access planet 3? because I can connect, but can't load any pages.
I guess the video streaming is to do with the hutchkey plugin(???)
Aristotle, you're in the UK, and it's all firewalled on 3, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. I know things are different in Australia (from the 3g forum).
That's why I left for t-mob: the irony is that the network that claims to be the most hi-tech is in fact the most low-tech of them all. On t-mob web and walk pro and the exec, you get full internet access (no restrictions), with infinite bandwith. That means during the day I remote-desktop to my home machine over 3G, then when I go home it switches calls to skype (I turn gprs off and wifi on), never worrrying about the bills. Try doing that on 3. :-/
lol.....well in australia we only really have one option for 3G at this stage, and thats 3.
walk into an optus store here asking about 3G, and if your lucky they know what your talking about, and at best they might be able to tell you that the broachers are coming.
Vodafone here, well not bad, but ask them anything outside what there trained to know and you might as well be talking egyptian.
telstra....lol....almost as bad as optus.....
Give us another 3 yrs....

Yeah, I know, thanks =/ it would be nice to see the F1 news and footie scores whilst on the train...
Used to be on T-mobile but it's reception was (and still is) awful where I live, drops more calls than 3.
Yep, wouldnt it be great to have a program that would have all the F1 details for the season and also sync options to get all the latest news, minute by minute race and qualifing updates....mmm....sounds very viable
sms
Hi guys,
Im also having a similar dillema to you guys.
Bought an SPV M5000 from ebay and unlocked with buzz's tool, but now using my 3 sim card I cant send any sms, or send/recieve any mms.
Im thinking I may just sell the phone on, wait until my contract expires, and get a new one on a proper contract with orange or O2 becuase im addicted to txting and its getting a bit annoying constantly swapping my sim into my A1000.
Thanx

omg
no offence, but...
universal is a 3g compatible phone - it will work with 3, vodafone 3, Australia 3, etc - it is designed to do that.
secondly - use the http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/7600/HutchKey as access to the portal - just make it your homepage. this one is for nokia, it works with me.
re sms - check the sms centre!!! thats all you have to do - call the support and they will give you the number.
confused
sorry to seem really thick ( I probably am), but where is the setting to change sms centre number on the unversal. Ive been through all settings and cant find it. I dont remember changing this on my A1000 when I flashed it with the non 3 Uk F/W
I've been told about this 3 network not compatible with any other phones except the phones that cames together with the package. I wonder why is it so? I mean, others are trying to lock the phone, so that it can't be used with other network. But locking the network to a certain phone doesn't make any business sense.
However, I've recently had a look on my friend's 3 network phone. And it seems that the phone main screen is flashing advertisements constantly. And, as far as I know, this 3 network is the cheapest to maintain so far, that's why many seems to be using it.
So, my current conclusion is that, they need a phone that has the ability for them to flash advertisements, if not, they won't let you have the cheap network rate without the ability for them to flash advert.

Hi igs, I can access some pages on planet 3, but not others, if I try for example the link you give for nokias, I get an error message (see below, sorry for the small image, can't find the right screenshot programme)
However, I can access some pages, e.g. checking my balance (see below), by typing the link. and if I click on the links from there, I can open some pages but not others.
These are my settings
I have APN: three.co.uk
Username password and domain are blank
Use server assigned IP address in TCP/IP and Servers
And nothing checked for proxy settings
Any ideas? Could it be that you have some plugin that I don't? Thanks....
Also ai118, I didnt need to specify a sms centre, it did it automatically...

I think that might be a 6280, you can turn those 'adverts' off
Hi all
Just wanted to know if anyone has got this phone through the 3 UK network.
I know there would be a few people interested (including myself) if someone could upload the 3 ext ROM to the ftp.
Thanks
S.K.
hey
I'm almost certain that 3 never did the Universal in the UK.
Therefore no 3 ROM.
But you can go on any network with any ROM (e.g. I use Orange's Radio ROM with O2's main ROM on O2-UK.)
3 do the Qtek version. I dont know if it is branded 3 though - go and look in your local 3 shop and report back!
Three UK has released a qtek9000
So the answer is yes the rom must be about I for one would love to get a hold of the rom, as I am actually a 3 Network user and prefer my old O2 XDA EXEC so come on, lets find it!
3 definately have it in the Uk.
Link here http://www.three.co.uk/personal/han...omp?subleft=1&header=PAYMON&cid=1151677768856
It is branded as the qtek 9000 but i'm hoping that they have a 3 customised extended rom. Would like to have a look and hopefully port some of those cabs onto my unlocked TyTN that i'm using on 3.
Regards
S.K.

So no one has one then
What are you hoping to achieve from this rom? The 3 content which you normally get by pressing the triangle button on 3 phones?
Already managed to get access using opera browser or by changing user agent on IE.
Just wanted to get my hands on a 3 uk ext. ROM to see what's in it, and perhaps use it on my TyTN that i'm using on 3.
S.K.
Love to get the three content
I am still looking for the rom for the 3 network, as yes I do like the planet 3 triangle software addition) I am still running my XDA EXEC on an O2 sim, it is unlocked and would cope with the 3 sim, however without the goodies of a three network phone I wouldnot get the benefits of the network, So come on... can anybody provide the rom for 3?????
3 rom
If anyone could get hold of a 3 rom - or just the cabs that would be brilliant.
3 UK ROM???
HI, anyone got 3 UK ROM?

try to ask on sony and hd corresponden subforum
good luck,
I have an o2 branded (hardware and software) XDA Exec (it's unlocked). My current contract is coming to an end, so I am looking for a new contract. I am thinking about buying a contract with 3. However, I would like to keep my current phone even if the new contract includes a phone. My question is: can I put the sim in my XDA Exec? What functionality would I be able to expect? Would I be able to make phone calls, send and recieve text messages, make video calls, send and recieve picture messages etc.?
Yep, works fine, i've used my 3 sim before! Just need to add the correct connection details for the 3 portal etc.
though the three network will work . i will not recommend it because three network states do not use anyother phone with there sim cards.
Also my nokia 6230i and nokia 3220 both were working with three but they blocked them after two weeks.
so think before you use it;...
3 now have the Qtek version of Exec on their network so theres no reason why you cant use your exec now. I've never had a problem with another 3G phone on the network. The only problem that sometimes seems to occur is when the 3G SIM is put in a non 3G phone - itworks for a while then after draining too much power (as 3G SIM is higher rating than GPRS SIM) it kills the phone.... Why not just pop into a 3 shop though or call customer services?
i'm trying to dig out connection details to three. Could anybody shed some light? I've x-series addon and it would be nice if i can get it on my universal
thanks, sorted out! excellent one, i'm able to use msn messenger & web browsing. now it's time to check skype
Edit:SKYPE also works perfectly.

Well I have just been speaking to 3 and they will NOT support any non 3 handset nor will they give out sms, mms, or internet settings, morever if they discover that you are using a NON 3 handset then they will suspend service immediately... their customer service is absolute crap... major row on phone vowing never to return or continue to spend in excess of 100 GBp each month as pay as you go customer

Hi, Can u share your 3 settings for GPRS , MMs and web browsing, please . I am on 3 and have not been able to get the gprs working , nor the MMS. Thus can't get on to the net or msn etc on my O2 XDA Exec. Just for the info I have been using 3Sim on this for the past 7 months no problems with the phone functionality.
Thanx in advance
Tunndoc
Can anybody help with this query? I'd be interested to know too.
Thanks
you might find http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-266774.html useful it shows the settings.
I am on 3 with a XDA Exec and I can get almost all functionality aside from buying stuff from 3 online as it doesn't have the correct root certificates from 3 (and 3 never had the exec as a phone anyways!)
For the CORRECT settings to get you running on 3 click here

Hi there.
I recently purchased an MDA Touch Plus (HTC Touch Dual) locked to T-Mobile - I am currently waiting for oli to send me the unlocking took after paying the £5 so can't do a lot at the moment obviously, but just so I am prepared I thought i'd ask.
Now, ultimately, I intend to use this phone on O2 Simplicity, but for the next couple of months i'm on 3 mobile still.
Can I use this phone on 3 mobile straight away or do I need to change anything? I have heard people say it can't be used on 3 mobile but others say it works fine, http://www.johnwordsworth.com/blog/ says he used a TyTnII on 3 with no problems but he downloaded 3.cab from here - what is this 3.cab and what does it do? Do I need one for the Dual?
Any help and assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and effort.
Once you have unlocked it you would need to gain a cab for whatever service provider you are intending on using, the cab will contain important settings enabaling mms, text, gprs setting for that network provider. my device was locked to orange after unlocking i simply installed the t-mobile cab i found on this forum and was able to use the services i needed, hope this helps.
Anyone know where I can find the 3 Mobile (UK) .cab for the Dual? I have had a look but it is difficult to search for '3' to be honest.
How do I debrand the Dual so it doesn't have the T-Mobile icons, such as Web n Walk etc?
heres for cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301279 - cant remember how i got rid of all the orange bits on my device think poked around in file explorer and removed a lot of bits from there
I've used a Touch Dual on 3UK since before Christmas - works fine for me. The only thing that doesn't work is 3's own pages, i.e. their music store, TV, etc etc but that's not a problem for me personally.
