hi all, im new to the site and to my wizard (got it last month). I bought it from a friend of mine who hasnt paid his bill in a while....well, i stuck my prepaid sim in it and... well to my amazment i got full blown internet for free (using it to make this post)... not to mention use it as a (albiet slow) modem for my pc......hmm.
so, found this website, overclocked my wizard (thanks to omapclock/plus) among other stuff and then looked for a post about this but found old stuff from 2004 so I was just wondering if this was common knowledge or am i the first person with a p/p wizard.
ps. i love this phone
kiss my @$$ razr
are you sure, you are not connected to WLAN?
I have a Wizzard (k-Jam) on Prepaid and I do not get free internet, that has nothing to do with the phone, its purely to do with your network provider, and good luck finding cheap, let alone free, gprs in australia
I got my T-mobile MDA sometimes last year... cancelled my t-mobile contract n got a prepaid SIMcard(T-mobile)... hadn't put a penny(re-fill) since Oct. 2006 n data works just fine(EDGE), i was surprised... I really feel sorry for T-Mobile, only if they knew :-D. I connect my Pc too using my Wizard (Internet Share)... can't remember last time i used WIFI coz all the hotspot connections are locked/secured where i live, had to go for walk to get the unlocked ones :-D.... Oh and there was a time i could send text too on my phone when my prepaid SIMcard was out of funds, i had to resend texts 6 times though blah blah blah... Anyway, i feel really sorry for those people with Data plan on their phone ... (T-Mobile Data plan $29.99)Ouchhh. And i hear some other wireless networks charge more, so sad.
First to post i think
i posted this on Jan 5, i also tought that i was the first to notice but someone in Howardforums posted this in there. i think i posted this first and then two other people too and welcome to the forums but i posted this in the general forums not in the wizard forums
U might be the first one to posted it... but other people have figured it out way long before u posted it... :-D. Personally i've been using the free internet since Oct. last year.
wow!!! can someone PM me the details on how to get the free internet. I reside in canada as well.
Frankly, i find this very hard to believe, but still i think it's caused by the bad management of the network.
This happened to me few months ago :
Me: Hello, i would like to activate the 12MB/month data plan
Provider: Of course, please tell me what phone you're using
Me: (After half an hour trying to explain that i don't have a Nokia)It's a PDA, manufactered by HTC.
Provider: Let me check....music for 30sec-1min...I checked and it seems that your device is not compatible with our services.
Me: Ha ? That is not possible, please tell me the settings (apn and such) so i can connect to the internet.
Provider: What nokia model you said you have ?
Me:(already tearing my hear) What devices you know that they are compatible ?
Provider: SonyErricsson...nokia....so on
Me: Well, i have a...ehm..Sony.(one that she said it's working...yeah it was a she)
Provider: Ok, i will send you the settings on mail.
Bottom line :
All the darn settings i waited over an hour for were these :
apn=internet
i wouldn't overclock over 260 btw. but if no problems good for you. some have messed up there phone that way. all white screen, lines, reboots. gl
Could some nice X01HT owners help answer some questions about the limits of Softbank’s Flat Rate package? (PC Site Direct)
Bought a XDA Exec before and would like to look BEFORE I leap ;-)
Can I use IM with it? (thinking live messager or IM+ )
POP3 Mail is ok?
Is Skype ok with the flat rate?
MMS Mail?
Are any sites blocked?
Using the X01HT has a Bluetooth modem?
What am I looking at for a total bill? – Without calls
( I seem to get lots of different answers from the 2 softbank shop and they didn’t seem to know about the Flat rate package too )
(I see that they have extended the price cut for the package Max 5,700 instead of 9,800)
If any X01HT owners can help me out that would be great. I have been undecided about getting the phone since I cancelled my old Softbank contract and the staff couldn’t seem to answer my question even about pricing
What I`v heard for a Softbank foreing staff is that the 5,700 yen package is for G3 or regular phones and 9,800 for the xo 1HT. Of course in order to check our email WE MUST log on into internet so ....
As for the above mentioned programs
Can I use IM with it? (thinking live messager or IM+ ) YES
POP3 Mail is ok? YES
Is Skype ok with the flat rate? Check the per bite rates one softbank packet is 128 Bites to log on to Skype is maybe 50 kb..? so it is 30 yen only to log on!
MMS Mail? Do not know
Are any sites blocked? Not that I know
Using the X01HT has a Bluetooth modem? Bluetooth
All in all is very good looking device but I will not recomended for the faint of hart or for people who do not like to install unistall sofreset hardreset too buggy and ustable if you ask me.
i`v had experience with ppc foe 5 years (soory guys if is not that much) and never had to hard reset my device more than once a year!
After one month with this ..tytn.. I soft reset it maybe 10 times a day an Hard reset it every 2 days becose I cannot find the right programs configuration YET! It freezes all the time!
There a a lot of users saying this is a great device..I think they are just trying to justify the price the payed!
Another point is that as of January 25 2007 a 2 year contract with softbank will cost you 2980 yen a month (for the device only).
Before that (and thats what I pay) was 690 yen a month.
WHY?
I think they want to discurage people in buying this device since they receive complaints everyday!
Sorry for the not so good review but thats my point of view.
Yes it’s sad to say that most of the Softbank staff doesn’t know what the packages are or the costs for that matter
So Skype is a no-go for flat rate then?
I have a M3100 but it was always stable for me I’m really a PDA junkie just looking for the prefect product so far I have tried Hx4700 /MDA Exec/M3100/Sharp Zauaris
Still using my old Hx4700 and thumbpad with PDA card works great just a little slow
Hoping that someone can find the open access password so I can keep using my MDA exec and X01HT with the same Simm

Please post where you like (rapidshare,...), this dutch rom was installed on my device and now i need it to return to basics.
HTC should give people a backupcd, like when you buy a pc, you get oem Windows. I don't understand why i cannot find it online anywhere, they throw roms to your head at the carriers O2, T-Mobile,....
And totally no support, even no download when registered on HTC site
I think I have more support from XDA forum users than from the company i paid the HTC for... cannot wait till September for WM6 dutch (if not delayed as usual). 1 month without GSM & GPS is impossible.
i bricked mine the first time.
brought it back to the phone shop with the massage "it is broke"
they have repaired without any questions
no such service from your provider?
Slow repair service
Yes, i bricked it also first, rom number was original on startup screen, now it's the 3.7.0000. Received it repaired also without questions, but took 6 weeks, by then the WM6 dutch should be out

Right now I have a T-Mobile dash, known as HTC Excalibur. I do llike the phone, however I have had it for three years and I just found out that the USB port on the phone looses contact and makes the phone difficult to charge.
I want to get another HTC smartphone running Windows Mobile, with Querty Keyboard. The phone must be able to sync to ms Outlook, and read/edit ms Word & Excel files. Also the phone MUST run off a SIM card.
I was looking around and I can get HTC Wizard for $140 on ebay. Is the wizard a good phone or should I look elsewhere? I dont want to spend more than $150...
The Wizard seems like a good deal for $140 new... Here is the link to the ebay auction; LINK --> http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HTC-MDA-UNL...UFI%2BIIUM%2BP%2BUA%2BUCI&otn=11&po=LVI&ps=54
I am also in the same situation, I was offered a Wizard for US$80 2nd hand but in perfect order with no scratches (from a standard fone user, not a gadgt-freak ).
I asked here if it was a good deal, i had to hurry.. so I bought it anyway.
I would buy this phone for sure, I think it is very cheap for a new phone.
oops, wrote that twice.. sorry
Hey guys, first post here, but I just got a HD2 today and it's locked to T-Mobile, but I use AT&T. So far I tried htc-unlocker.org and unlock2go.com and both of them said the IMEI is not in the database. Does anyone know a website that can unlock this thing for SURE? I searched around but all I found is people saying to search google, which I did and I failed 3 times so far
edit: nevermind, got it unlocked...had to pay $34.99 but it only took about an hour. htc-unlocker.org new method.
dude thats overpriced, i tried all there old methods too and they failed so i ended up going with blowfish06 on ebay and he did the new method and got mine unlocked for $26 in 20 minutes.
Anyone know of anywhere else to buy a code? I just received my HD2 via UPS and went to unlock2go.com and its true they were unable to unlock it! So I will get a refund in 3 business days. htc-unlocker.org wants $44.99 to unlock my new HD2 using the "new" method. (they will use the htc database instead of the tmobile database) Please offer any suggestions, I can't use my new Hd2 on At&t until I unlock it =(
Code:
cgi.ebay.com/UNLOCK-Code-T-Mobile-USA-HTC-HD2-Leo-T8585-Touch-/130414271061?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5d4bda55
seems to be what people suggest using. i CAN confirm that the "new database" method is what's needed to unlock it though, so as long as the unlocker uses this "new" database, it'll be successful.
