People,
I have some trouble missing phonecalls and receiving sms-es very very late on my friends Dutch T-Mobile Network. He has a dutch T-Mobile branded MDA Comact III.
Can anyone give me their findings with the latest three Radio-Roms available on this Dutch T-Mobile Network?
- 03.18.90 ?
- 03.21.90 ?
- 3.34.90 ?
I have to choose the right one the first time, cause it's for a friend who has to be reachable, cause he's getting a child in a few days...
Missing calls is out of the question...

Hi everybody,
i just do some updates to my XDA ...
first i do the 4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile US rom... end all ok.
after i do the T-Mobile RU 6.24.00 and i never take the GSM service (i live in Italy)
after i do the AT&t A 20.10 and i never take the GSM service also
last i return at O2 4.21 that i hate because every time that i lost the GSM service, he never come back until reset...
Is there some way to take a european GSM service with some T-Mobile os AT&T radio stack please ?
Thanks all
Denis
did you switch to the 800 band? if its set to 1900 (for the us) you won't get a signal. you should get coverage on the 800 frequency.
This is a well known problem among many users. I have been "fighting" against this since some weeks. I almost tried everything. Even when I tried a T-mobile radio stack together with a T-Mobile SIM-Card (Austria) it did not work properly. After some hours it loses the signal and a soft reset is required. I never had any errors during installation of ROMs or radio stacks.
I am wondering if it would make sense to bring it in for service.
My last hope is an update of the radio stack (maybe together with the WM2003 update).
At the end of the day I can say that the XDA is not the thing I need. Maybe the XDA2 is better.
Exactly for this reason i want to change my XDA with XDA II... but in Italy is only some XDA II buyed from Germany... well have german language os.
Anyware... if somebody now how to make funntional the T-Mobile radio stack in europe ... please let me know.
Thanks all
Denis
It appears that the best thing going right now for you European users is the latest Qtek 1010 Radio Stack Upgrade.
It can be found at:
http://www.carrierdevices.com.au/downloads/asiapacific.htm
Download Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe
BTW read the WARNING
Also from the looks of the site this RS might be pretty close to the one thats being used in the XDAII....?
HTH
How do you know that this is the best RSU for Europe ?
Any personal experience ?
Romania (yes ... it's Europe)
Here I'm using a T-Mobile US phone with 6.24.00 with no problems, including GPRS.
I've also a custom built 4.00.21 (and I can't wait for the 4.01.00 :wink: )
So it should work without problems on the 900 band. The 1900 is no use and also you cannot get to the 1800 since hardware defaults.

hello all, i just got my I-mate XDA II today and it is a great phone - however i am having a small issue with it. You see i am Los Angeles Area on t-mobile and somehow the phone always conencts to the Cingular network in roaming mode. I tried changing the settings in the phone network - but it did not help.
can you kind fellows please help me out on this - i do not wish to return such a nice phone.
I was even thinking of loading the NL T-mobile 1.60 Rom, will that work??
thanx in advance
T-Mobile doesn't have its own network in California, it uses Cingular's. The network shows as "T-Mobile" in California only on sets that have T-mobile ROM. All others show "Cingular". I burned a European ROM on my MDA I a few months ago, and it was showing "Cingular" as the network. So, enjoy your new phone and don't worry about "roaming charges" in California.
MPD is correct about the T-Mobile network and I won't worry about myself
but installing the T-mobile 1.60 Rom is a good idea!
HTH
bah, replied to wrong thread somehow.
thanx a lot guys for the help

- The device will be sim-locked by t-mobile.
- It will be possible to use it with other carriers, but you need to sim-unlock it first
- It will be possible to load WWE Roms on it I think, just give the boys here some time :wink:
Not a SIM-lock, but a network lock!
???
What is a network lock???

Hello, i have a few questions about this subject. Is there already a way that we can network/sim-unlock the T-mobile Vario? And to load the qtek or Imate rom on it, in that way you can have a cheap Wizard.( in comparance with the others) Except for the t-mobile branding on the front :wink:
Please!
Hello,
can someone please tell me the difference between a Sim-Lock and a Net-Lock?
I am interested in the MDA Vario of T-Mobile.
It seems that for the MDA Pro T-Mobile has provided a free unlock code to who purchased it at the full price without any subscrition.
Will it be the same on the MDA Vario? Will it be a Net-Lock code or a Sim-Lock code???
I live in Italy and I would like to buy it from T-Mobile Netherland at 459 €... will it work on the italian carrier?
Thank you very much,
Dakkar
from what i understand, the phone has been locked by the network, because of either misuse (not paid the bill) or was maybe stolen and reported.
simlock is locked to a particular network
block is the phone is completely blocked from any network
it states : the network is locked but believe me it is a simlock
There are a lot of dutch P3300 or MDAC3 users that seem to have problems with the reception. I myself have this problem as well and even whenh I have all bars for reception on my MDA get the voicemail when I call myself.
If I then call "Outside" for examply my voicemail, the problem is solved and the phone rings when I call it. It seems some kind of weird sleep mode ???
Are there any dutch mobile phone users that had the same problems and fixed it by upgrading their rom?? If so, which ROM did you install?
Almost all T-Mobile users in Holland have this problem. The problem is known to both HTC and T-Mobile, and they are apparently working to find a solution.
Some people have even gotten temporary replacement phones (such as a Vario) until the problem is solved.
OK, so it is the T-mobile network that causes the problem.
This means that if I would go to Vodaphone or KPN the problem would be solved?
As I understand it, yes.
I have a regular P3300 on Telfort/KPN and don't seem to have reception problems.
OK,
I know enough.... I will cancel my subscription with T-Mobile and will go to KPN
hmmm. ok. Why post it here when this problem has broadly been discussed on the tweakers.net forum?
anyway, you know that there is no solution for the T-Mobile network.

Yes there is..... KPN in this case
I have already aclled t-mobile to cancel my subscription and have opened a subscription on KPN network
I have unlocked my MDA and will install a different ROM and run it on this network
I guess it is too late, but are you using the T-Mobile MDA Compact III?
I am using T-Mobile (Netherlands) with the HTC P3300 English version and I am getting better reception than ever did with my last phone & carrier.
I've even had great reception in the middle of Hornbach
Maybe it has something to do with the actual phone and not the provider
Bad reception
I have the same problem with the MDA compact 3 in combination with T-Mobile. I understand that you changed from the dutch version to the english version. Can you explain me how to do that.
Thanks in advance

I unlocked my MDA via IMEI.co.uk and afterward I first installed the official Dopod Rom followed by the Powermap ROM. Since then I don't have any problems.
I figure that this is because both the roms use a different (higher) radio rom version then the T-mobile ROM
same problem

already explained... silly me
T-mobile and P3300
I have a connection from T-Mobile and the network is good with P3300.No complaints
Hello everyone,
The reception is full (o2 UK) but when someone calls, it says “it is not been possible to connect your call”
it happends too many times.
Does anyone know how to sort it out? If the problem with the radio, how can we upgrade it?
Cheers
