I just started service with T-mobile. I also just bought an AT&T SX56 on ebay because it was cheaper than the T-mobile version. So is it possible to unlock the phone and use it on T-mobile and still have GPRS functionality? I'm pretty sure that part is possible, but now I want to throw a wrench into the gears. Could I then upgrade to a T-mobile ROM and radio stack on the AT&T phone? OR could I be even crazier and use a T-mobile radio stack on the new official WM2003 release by AT&T? Sorry for all the weird questions, but I'm just curious as I'll have my phone during the early part of next week.
Thanks for all the help,
Danny
an xda is just like any other phone when it comes to the posiblity of changing network and getting gsm services like wap and mms and grps
first your phone need to be unlocked that is if it were locked to begin with
then you need to set up those services
how you go about doing so somewhat depend on your network provider
an std way of doing it is
enter settings
enter connections
enter connections
add a connection if non are present
otherwise maybe you have to edit a present one
choose celluarphone(gprs) or something like that
type in the access point of the network provider
often it's just "internet" but otherwise contact the
network provider as to what they use
and of cause if they ofer grps at all and if it's turned on
and then you press ok a few times
and end back at the today screen
then you open something like IE
and it should give you a login and password
page
many networks dont use those and you can just
leave them blank and press ok
ask your network provider
and then you should be online with grps
100's of people have asked the same questions and those
questions are most of the time in the forum called network
100's of people have answered those questions
so if you have more issues i'm sure that searching in that
forum will give results
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

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

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...

Thanks eagle1, I wasn't specific enough - I'm looking for something that will show me that e.g. Cingular and T-mobile Networks are present and ask which I want to register on. The UMTS/GSM Band Selection Tab is working great now that I made the registry change noted, but on my Networks tab I only see "Current network: Cingular" listed and a "Find Network" button which only re-registers me on Cingular. I thought other carrier ROMs allowed seeing/selecting from a list of available networks....

Which hack? The one Eagle1 linked to is the \HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowUMTSBandPage setting, right? I have that on my production 8525 running 1.34 and it changes nothing for me on the Network tab, it gives me a new tab Band Selection.
What registry change are you talking about? Sounds like you've gotten it to show the networks, but still have the SIM naming override going on... in theory that's the ONSDisplayRule setting, but I've not been successful with that one either. (My ONSDisplayRule is set to "4" which value I've not found documented anywhere!)

I did the same hack for the 8125 on the 8525, and i noticed that there was a line missing in the registry of the 8525, but was there in the 8125, so i guess cingular remove this line to keep users from registering with the 2nd selection. do a search on here for "enable manual network selection 8125" and select HTC 8125...... next select the 2nd page, and look there!

Are you talking about
HKLM\Security\Phone\ManualDisable=0
and
HKLM\Security\Phone\PreferredDisable=0
???? (No offense, but why not just say so??)
Setting ManualDisable to 0 gives me the desired Network Selection stuff but won't let me register on EITHER Cingular or T-mobile. I'd expect it not to work on T-mo, but am surprised about the Cingular side....
Folks in the thread you referenced: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=266794 say these settings won't stick across a soft boot...that'd be inconvenient to say the least. Yep, I just confirmed that the setting is reset on soft boot....
It would seem like there should be some way to stop WM5 from updating its settings based on the SIM card, but maybe not. At least this hack will let me temporarily see what networks are around when I'm travelling outside Cingular's coverage area.

sorry i didnt know the hack right off, so i directed you. but actually i dont know if many people knew this but when i did the hack with the 8125, after soft rebooting the phone, the enable manual network selection would be removed but i would still be conncted to the t mobile tower!!! i confirmed this buy doing a sound test believe it or not. whenever im on cingy,s tower i can hear interference whenever im close to an active speaker or if im on my lan line, but on tmobile tower it doesnt generate that interence at all and that how i confirmed that i was still on that tower even after i did a soft reboot! the only way it would switch me back to the cingy tower is when i pushed find network! i guess some folks caught onto that so this time they wont let us register on the tower at all with the 8525's. but it would be nice if someone can find out how to enable this feature again!
any news Manual phone network selection
Guys - it is problem with Cingular card not phone.
On normal (non Cingular) branded phone Cingular cards disables manual network sellection and preferred network list.
Checked on TyTN and Motorola SVLR. Any other card has this access.
This is intentional from Cingular and it is embedded on their SIMcard.

Yes, and on the SLVR and other Motos, one can configure the phone to IGNORE that SIM directive - many of us would like to find this feature on the Hermes as well....

Agreed with my ATT Blue SIM (old) I can manually select networks with no issue, pop in my daughters Cingular SIM (same phone) and I lose the feature until I swap back. One of the many reasons I won't give up my old SIM
"Problem with Cingular Simcard but not phones?" I dun really think so.
I have this 3G sim, on Nokia N70, I could manually select between Cingular and ATT signals. However, when it is on my 8525, it just simply cant...
How would this support your conclusion here?
Anyone come up with any solution here? I need ATT signal in my apartment, but not that crappy, call dropping, auto-selected Cingular signal.
Please advise.

Simple. It's a well known fact that the SIM card can (and Cingular ones do) supply a directive to the phone to prohibit network selection. Some phones ignore this or can be told to ignore this. Apparently your N70 ignores it. Again, it's a well known fact that the 8525 does NOT ignore this directive. Some folks have been able to get Cingular to do an OTA to their SIM card to enable network identification, but I've never heard of anyone getting the network selection turned on....
Richard
its definitely not dependent on the sim card, because once again, I pulled out the 3g sim and placed it into an 8125 and I was able to select the second tower and register on it, so its something with the 8525's that's blocking this!

Then if like what you said, it doesnt matter if the SIM blocks the network selection or not, if the phone can ignore the prohibition on network selection, then it should be all right to selection other networks, right?
If it depends on the phone also, shouldnt it be a way to tweak the setting or OS or watever to make this thing working? (I bet it is not a hardware restriction, isn't it?)

Well sure, *IF* you can figure out how to tell the phone to ignore it. Obviously the carrier does NOT want you to do this, or they would have provisioned the SIM to allow selection. So the definition of "all right" varies

Preferred Networks.
Just curious for those in the USA. When you select the Preferred Networks option are you getting networks in the list from Europe? I'm wondering if this is what's causing my phone to appear as "roaming". The triangle keeps showing up and I don't understand why. Is it because my sim card is for T-Mobile (US) even though it's an unlocked and unbranded software of Cingular's 8525?
I'm using Cingular 8525 (unlocked) in Canada with Fido sim, where can i change the GPRS setting on the phone? i don't see any place that can change it? thanks in advance!
look what I found when I googled Fido "GPRS Settings"
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7418
In any case, Ross Barkman's page is the best for finding your telco settings.
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
To change your settings you have 3 options (I've included details instructions so follow them carefully):
Option 1.
1. Go the box the phone came in
2. Pull out the little book that says user manual
3. Open the book up
4. Read it.
Option 2.
1. Scroll to the top of this page
2. Click on XDA-Wiki
3. Go the Hermes Section
4. Read it.
5. Read it again, so you understand everything not just the GPRS problem.
Option 3 (and I'm gonna hear about this from pof).
1. Click Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Con... Argh, I can't sorry man... you're gonna have to pick 1 or 2.
Forgive me pof, I started feeling sorry for the newbie. I promise I won't do it again!
thanks! i already know what the setting is, but i'm just wondering that will Cingular allow me to change the GPRS settings?
If the phone is unlocked, there is nothing stopping you from changing anything on the phone. For all purposes Cingular is just a name written on your phone, Cingular the company has nothing to do with you anymore unless you have a cingular SIM in your phone.
Thanks for replied, the problme is, the Cingular stock rom doesn't have any icon that let me to change the GPRS setting! there should be a "Network Wizard" on Setting-->Connection , but there is non! when i click on GPRS setting, it only allowing me choose either "PAP authentication" or "CHAP authentication" . i have been playing the GPRS setting for a long time, but didn't get anyting, so should i flash to other rom? thanks in advance!

"running" with the same SIM and same GPRS set up but I haven´t been able to navigate internet on GPRS (stalls in the "opening" status), I installed spb GPRS Monitor and the traffic is zero Kb on all tries that I´ve made to connect to the internet. I set also my Gmail account which is set up to retreive amails every 15min and although generates GPRS traffic the behavior is totally different as in my 8125. About MS Messenger and Hotmail the GPRS connection hasn´t been imposible. I´m a newbie I know it!! But you expert guys should help us at least with comments, I agree that some people make repeated questions because they don´t want to read, this is not our case, I´ve read a lot and I´m sure eeric di´d it too.

Thank you Bny! I do know how to make it and also set the proper strings in my case APN would be internet.movistar.mx and the user name & paswrord is movistar. That´s not really the problem, in fact I do know that I have a connection to my network, the problem is that something happen 8525 than doesn´t allow me to route my connections thru other routes but the one that Cingular has a preset. I really don´t know if is it the Ext ROM, my SIM card (not a 3G card) or the network itself since is not a 3G network !!!?
have any of you guys considered doing a hard reset and then soft reset before the 3 second customization? that way none of the cingular stuff gets installed?!?

I suppose there could be a number of reasons for this. But here is a consideration from my experience albeit on a different network. I entered all the details for my O2 connection as published on several different internet sites. Initially I could not get beyond "connecting" but found a minor error in what I had entered. Now I got as far as "Opening" but never actually open a site. I gave up but happened across a website that suggested that if you get that far i.e. "to opening" then perhaps the only fault would be the port number in proxy settings for HTTP. I checked and it was correctly set to "80". I did searches on the internet and found one that suggested port "8080" and it worked straight away. I only suggest that you check the port number and whether there are alternatives if you are getting as far as "opening".

Thanks Mike and shogunmark! I´ll try the trick to avoid the customisation from Cingular; as far the port setting that´s a good point, however my screen for connection settings only shows 2 tabs: 1)Tasks and 2) Advanced, the 3rd tab (Proxy) that is present in my 8125 is missing in my 8525. Any ideas to make it appear or change the port? Thanks again you guys!
I did it, but it did not work.....
I just tried but it didn´t work either.... let´s see what´s next. Thank You!

If you manage to make progress in improving connection speed, it would be useful to post a solution on this thread. Hope you succeed.

Hi,
I have an X1 purchased in Taiwan, so i re-flashed it using Touch IT 5.05 with opera cooked in.....so i had it in English. I have set up the usual connection settings using the CHT (chungwha telecom - taiwan) but i still cannot connect to the internet. I get either a H or a 3G at the top suggesting it is connecting, but i cannot get anything to work.
I have spent over 2 hours with the guys at the telecoms offices and they can't do it either. Is there likely to be a problem with this Rom or is it something else?
I think i know all the operator settings. There is no username or password required, and all the server IP addresses should be set to automatic, including DNS (though i have read different on some sites suggest it should be 10.1.1.1 - - which doesn't work either)?
Should i flash back to a chinese rom and try that? Should it make any difference? Am i being really stupid and missing something? Is there another rom i can try that will allow me to get the data i pay for!
I have tried the sim card in an Iphone which connects ok, suggesting that the SIM card and stuff at their end is not at fault.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!
