Hi all,
i just took my O2 Exec and i have some basic questions that seek for an answer quickly...
I cannot understand whether there is a simlock there or no... i put in there my sim card (Voda UK) and some strange things happen. i sometimes get a UMTS vodafone uk signal and other times a gprs one... Like every five minuits the G turns in to a U and so on.... What do i need to do???is there a simlock and if so how do i unlock?
How do i hard reset my phone and what ROM should i use?
Were can i get the Voda UK settings for mms and gprs?
Is there anything else that i should set in order to have a fully functioning mobile for sms, mms, voice calls?
and a not important one... shouldnt there be the skype software in my phone?
I know that i should search and find what i want but i am in the the midle of an assignment and i do not have the time to do so... Just need to have my phone functioning properly until i have the time to dig out the rest of the things that i want.So just forgive me for asking insted of searching.Wont happen again.
HELP ME
Excuse my bad english...
Thanx all

It is just moving between UMTS and GPRS. Mine does it too. If it can't get a good enough signal on UMTS it switches to GPRS. If it sees a better UMTS signal, it switches back.
How do i hard reset my phone and what ROM should i use?
Two soft buttons while pressing stulus reset hole. Nothing wrong with the O2 ROM so stick with that.
Were can i get the Voda UK settings for mms and gprs?

See above
and a not important one... shouldnt there be the skype software in my phone?
Only the JASJAR and MDAPro come with Skype IIRC.
Thank you for the extremely fast and accurate reply.
So there is no problem with the U and G thing. Ok then i will just get used to it. It was that i have never seen the U before.
U means 3G and fast data speeds.
it seems that i cannot manage to do the right settings so that my sms,mmsa dn gprs works. I found the settings but...no combination worked.
Anyway, is there a how to or something that i can check out?
Any other ideas?
Many thanx

You can install Skype yourself from the Skype website, but IMHO it's not ready yet. It's very slow and buggy, and the connection quality is questionable.
Wait a month or two until Skype is fully compatible with WM5 and the experience will be much better!
I am getting really confused here......
I managed to fix my gprs 3g settings (following a wm 2003 quide and using the settings from filesaveas) and i can surf the net but i still cannot receive and send any mms.
Any ideas????
HELP!!!
edit: Also is there anybody that has active sync 4.1? i cannot even syncronise my contacts.!
Hopefully someone is on here from the Leeds/Bradford area who is on the T-Mobile network. My MDA Pro had been working perfectly for the last few months and over the last week despite hard resetting and soft resets all I get is an error trying to connect wirelessly.
I get the large U symbol for UMTS but keep getting a connection error :twisted: . Went through connection settings with T-Mobile but still no joy.
Anyone else suffering or any other ideas?
All help appreciated. J
I had the same problem on Orange and when I called to question it they told me that their 3G service was "degreaded" in the area I was in.
Can't you call T-Mobile and ask them?
Thanks to the post above. I did report to T-mobile and ask about their network and the polite customer service agent said he was not aware of any service problems.
even more curious is on the coolsmartphone forum an spv m5000 user is reporting exactly the same issue.
Would anyone else with the same issue please report.
thanks j
Settings/phone/band/network type set to GSM in stead of auto, should give you only GPRS I think.
Leaves you without UMTS but helps staying connected?

Hello,
Im currently on the BT Mobile network, however the display on my exec show's it as Vodafone UK? Any idea how i can fix this if it can be fixed? Its not a problem in anyway, but if anyone has any suggestions i would be gratefull.
Thanks
Hi I purchased my Imate K-Jam G4 in the UK sim free and brought it to the Cayman Islands. I do not appear to have any GPRS or edge ability. My service opertaor supports both they tried to send me the settings but came back with handset not supported.
I am running the latest imate ROM and have hard reset a couple of times to now avail. When i click on the internet all i get is cannot connect with current settings. i have tried both types of authentication.
Can anyone help me?
Is it anything to do with the CID lock which reports 001?
Thanks any help will be appreciated
Update:
Ok i have now managed to get it to connect by creating a new connection.However although it shows connected i get no data. can't even open google. any ideas?
Ok now got it working. my sim was not enabled for gprs put it in my wifes phone which had a text with the service provider settings saved them and then put the sim back in my phone. all now works. However seems to cost a small fortune so looks like i am going to disable it again. :-(
Hi guys!
I am writing this post hoping that someone can help me. Here it goes:
I bought a Cingular 8125 from someone in ROMANIA ( i also live down there ), at that moment wi-fi was working fine as in............ it was searching for wireless networks and showing them in Network Cards. The same day i flashed to wm6 ( downgrade, unlock upgrade etc. ) when i started wi-fi in wm6 and ............. nothing, no wireles networks in range, the wi-fi icon in the top of today screen did not show any attempt to connect or communicate for that matter. I downgraded to wm5 again (after trying different wm6 roms - none worked for wi-fi) and still nothing. I came to belive that there are some kind of settings in connection that y must take care of for my cingular to pick up nearby wi-fi hot spots. I am eagerly awaiting an answer from anyeone who has any idea about this.
Thank's in advance guys!!!
