Hi people,
Is it ok for the IMEI on my phone screen to be different to the one printed under the battery?
I have had this phone from new, as it was an upgrade, and I had unlocked it to use on O2, instead of T-Mobile.
A few months ago, the phone went funny, and I re-installed the ROM. A few days later, it stopped recognizing the O2 sim card, and now only takes T-Mobile or Virgin cards.
I have tried the xda-unlock softwares, but no luck.
Could anyone out there please help me out????
Thanks in advance,
Jassy

I have a t-mobile mda compact on contract, which i only got for the phone. I use my o2 sim card in it. Last Friday i lost my mda compact with my o2 sim card in it. I phoned up t-mobile and got the phone blocked then phoned o2 and got my sim blocked.
Then i went and got a new o2 sim card and used it in my c500. The next day i got a phone call from a friend of mine and he said that someone had phoned him saying that he had my mda compact!! lucky me!!
I then collected my mda and put my o2 sim card in it and it worked fine. I still carried on using my c500 as the stylus for my mda was not there with the phone.
Then last night while i was at work my c500 broke and wont stay on for any longer than 10secs. I thought lucky that i have my mda, but when i put my 02 sim card in the mda this morning my mda wont pick up a signal. I have also tried other sim cards in the mda but none work.
I phoned t-mobile and they assure me that my phone is unblocked. o2 say that i may need to get a new phone??
I'm a bit confused as to what could be wrong.
Is it possible that my phone is locked to t-mobile again??
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated
just do a reset
if it wouldnt help make a hard reset (holding power button + reset button with stylus)
I've already done a hard reset but still the same. There is a exclamation mark next to the signal icon, any ideas what that means??
same to my O2
hello
well well i did a upgrade to my rom and ext rom now i got the same " ! " mark next to the network signal on my phone and same it would not pick up any signals
so is my phone also locked
can some one help me !!!!
MDA compact issue.
Just saw your post on the XDA forum re: no MDA signal after loss.
I work at T-Mobile (UK) head-office in Hatfield and while I’m not in Customer Services (or even a customer facing role!), my job as a Transmission Network Planning Engineer does give me access to all the systems that I could help you out.
While I don't actively post to these forums (yet) I have been keeping up with the PDA/Mobile scene since the beginning.
Worst case scenario, even if I can’t help I could confirm the status of your IMEI bar or SIM block, etc and pass you internally to the appropriate team.
My direct extension is 01707 313319, (switchboard - 01707315000) however I am finishing work at 5.30, so you are welcome to ring me tomorrow.
I know how frustrating it can be to get nowhere especially with an MDAc and cust-serv, so I’d be glad to help.
Kind regards,

Hello..
I last night put my phone onto "flight mode" so that i was not distrubed in the night if a text came through....
this morning i set it back to normal but the network reception reported NO SERVICE
when it had not come back this evening.... i put my sim in a different phone and used a different network's sim card in my pda.... NO SERVICE was reported for this as well but the sim that was placed in the other phone registered on o2 as soon as the phone was switched on
I've only just bought my MDA but off ebay... although it was new i am unable to contact the seller... please can anybody help??
email me to [email protected] or [email protected] if anybody can help
Thanks
MORE info re above
Hi again
In my frustration I have swapped sims again and this time put VODAFONE pay as you go sim in the MDA Magician above.... It found the network and i was able to ring/text from it.....
On putting the O2 Sim Back into the MDA it said NO SERVICE again.....
But using that very same sim in my nokia finds a network.....
The MDA is originally a TMOBILE one that has been unlocked...
ANY help on this would be very appreciated as I'm very annoyed that it's stopped working.
Thank you
Soft reset?
Although, I think taking your batter out and swapping sims may count as a soft reset.
Thanks for the reply - but again that did not solve it... besides to eliminate this i did a HARD RESET as well and re configured it....
I've even RE UNLOCKED it in case this was the problem
(its a T MOBILE PDA) with an O2 SIM IN...... I bought it in November time and unlocked it the same time... My O2 Sim has been working ok in it until the other night when i decided to put it in "flight mode"(so i wasn't disturbed at night)
Im suspecting that it anything to do with IMEI number vs SIM CARD number? Could this have been blocked somehow to that phone?
Its very confusing as it WORKS with VODA sim and DOESNT with O2 yet the SAME O2 sim works in my old nokia 6610.... aaarggghhhh!! LOL
If your MDA works with a Vodafone SIM, it certainly can't be blacklisted for all UK networks since it picks up Vodafone. Secondly, it sounds more like a SIM card issue relating strictly to the MDA. What happens when you try another O2 SIM card in the same MDA?
Make sure the O2 SIM hasn't been damaged in some way, if all fails you might want to take the MDA to T-Mobile to see if they can determine whether its IMEI has been blacklisted for certain networks. Otherwise a ROM upgrade may also help fix the problem.
Good Luck
My guess is that your magician is reported & listed as stolen. Probably not all providers are using the same list with blocked IMEI numbers. Which can explain that one sim works & the other doesn't though works in an other phone.
See if you can find a list for your country on the web. There are some references to such lists in this forum.

check which band your phone is using....
go Phone>Options>band> then select auto
hey buddies,
i´ve got a big problem. Last week i bought me an MDA VARIO 2 at ebay.de.
Now the problem is that the vario only exepts SimCards from D1. So on the Vario is a Simlock, but the ebay seller didn´t tell.
I only have an o2 sim card.. How can i fix the prob?
Does anybody know a good unlock software that works... I want to use this great smartphone...please help!
EDIT: Does this version work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
you have no simlock - you have a netlock.
and yes this link will work for you
Dear Community,
I need some help urgently in fixing up a problem which is very weird and has come up since last night.I have an O2 Atom Life with WM6 installed.The WM6 is the same which was given free of cost by O2 as a part of their service contract.Till yesterday things were fine.After yesterday i am repeatedly getting no service on my Vodafone SIM.I tried restarting it n number of times with no avail.Then i replaced my SIM with another SIM of a different service provider which works perfectly fine.The next step was to put my SIM on a different handset and this also works perfect??
I have replaced my SIM wityh a new SIM from vodafone to eliminate the possibility of a corrupt SIM but that has also not heped my cause.I feel there is some software issue for which i need help from someone.,It is strange that only when it comes to my SIM my mobile throws a "no Service" message......

It seems that your simcard not compatible with that ROM. My suggestion is, you revert back to your original ROM
