I read in multiple locations that the T-mobile version (MYTOUCH3G) had passed the FCC with UMA capability (and that nice 5mpix cam) what happened?
I was looking forward to getting this phone but UMA is essential to my wallet and I can't get it without UMA!!! Where did it go? Is it possible that it is in the box, but just not activated? Is anybody going to make an app or patch to unlock UMA capabilities????
Does anyone know of a decent device (htc or other) that will sport UMA and 3g????

Hi,
My name is Fernando, I am writing from Costa Rica, Central America. I Just got a Palm Tungsten W, but it is lock for ATT use only. Do you know if someone recently has find the way to unlock the SIM, to use with other carries abroad.
Do you know if I can use your xda manipulador to unlock it???
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Fernando
No. The XDA manipulator only works for HTC PocketPC Phone Edition phones, such as the O2 XDA, T-Mobile MDA, Qtek 1010 or any of the other names the device goed by.
The Palm Tungsten W is a Tri-band GSM phone, but I couldn't quickly identify who makes the GSM/GPRS module inside. If it's made by Texas Instruments, you may be able to use the same unlocking trick we use in The Manipulator, but you'd have to write your own software to do so.
unlocking from ATT
Thank you, for your answer. One of my problems is that nobody knows who made the module. Can you find out? Or you have a way to show me how to investigate it?
Fernando :?:
If anyone figures out how to do this, please let me know. I need this unlocked asap.
Does anyone know if it will be possible to enable Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) on GSM/WiFi WM5 devices with software? Would it require a hardware update?
UMA support
Hi!
Did you get any answer or did you find something during your investigations?
Thank you!
Anyone have any news on this?
T-Mobile has UMA deployed in at least some parts of the US now but only with a Nokia phone and a Samsung...
Hello,
I've read that WM6 supports UMA/GAN access. Anyone knows if there's a way and if so, how to configure it?
UMA, or GAN as it's called now, requires that the handset support it.
There are still not many many of those handsets; UMA today has a list here: http://www.umatoday.com/mobileHandsets.php
Not sure if the list is complete.
Hmm, one of the new features of WM6 is UMA support. So are you saying that there must be some hardware changes (even if the phone has both wifi and cellular radios) before UMA can be used?
Yes, the OS alone cannot give you UMA functionality, even if the phone has both WiFi and Cellular radio.

does anyone know if you could port UMA capability from a WM6 device like the HP iPAQ 510 to an to an HTC device?

No; or at least that wouldn't give you UMA.
To give real UMA functionality there is also hardware involved.

Has anyone looked into this?
does anyone know if the SE Xperia X1 will support UMA? I've tried looking all over the net, but no one has any concrete conclusions
uma / gan for winmo handsets
All htc handsets that have wifi are capable of being used as UMA / GAN handsets - source HTC technical team.
Problem is, win 6.x is now old hat, and companies will not spend money on software development, when they want you to buy new devices.
Companies - such as 'Kineto' are writters of this software, they have said they are currently writting software for android series phones as an add on. But have said yes its easy to develop the software to run on wifi winmo's devices, just no money to be made from it commercially.
But then, will your network provider pay for the add on software for ur device, it was confirmed that orange was in talks but at that time no deal had been reached for patching andriod devices.
So its down to money again, as the device can support it, just no software as of yet!
Does anybody know how to get the [email protected] service working on the 8525. All I really need is the SIP settings for t-mobile. I cannot find this information anywhere and when I asked t-mobile they had no clue.
TMobile's Hotspot @Home doesn't use SIP; it uses a protocol called UMA -- Unlicensed Mobile Access. It has been described as GSM tunneled through IPSec.
HP has one Windows Mobile device which uses UMA. You'll probably need to obtain one, extract the program, mod it to run on an 8525. The settings for TMobile UMA have been posted at Howardforums.com under the TMObile Group, [email protected] subgroup.
This might be possible, but it is a massive project. People have generally not succeeded on getting UMA phones working on other networks which support UMA (e.g. a TMobile [email protected] phone working on a Rogers Hotzone or Orange Unique network).

My wife is a tmobile employee she said they had a hard enough time getting @home working reliably the way it is, so getting it work on a non uma phone may not be possible.
Thanks!
Hey guys, thanks for all the knowledge. I now own a Mogul and am switching to Sprint (faster network, GPS, and I will actualy have service!) so the need for [email protected] has diminished. However, it would be a good project to try and produce a program to utilize the UMA...Anyways, thanks for all the help!

CAB?
anyone find the cab yet?
the 'currenly posted' cab works great after a reboot?
I ordered one and will have it next week. Anything to do or advice? I don't currently have a data plan and don't plan on getting one.
I'm using my Jade with T-Mobile USA. I have no data plan, just a prepaid card. I don't call that much so this was the cheapest way for me. Most of my calls are made from my home land line or from work. Jade helps anywhere between, on the soccer field and on the beach. You can buy 1000 minutes for $100 and you have full year to use it. Not bad. I have no problems with coverage. It is similar to T-Mobile I used in Europe, but it is much cheaper here. I paid $0.50 per minute there.
I have a Fave 5 plan and will be trying to install a cab. file to have the Fave 5 stuff on my phone. I can get to some wap sites on my Samsung Behold t919. I hope that I can get to those sites on the Jade like I can now without the WIFI. Do you ever use the internet without the WIFI?
Got UMA?
Anybody in America using T-Mobile UMA service successfuly? I bought the phone from Ebay from someone in Australia, so i never had UMA software installed like the ones from Orange UK. I thought about flashing Orange software thinking it should get UMA access using my T-Mobile SIM.

I don't know what UMA service is.
UMA info
UMA lets you talk over a wifi connection and automatically switch between wifi and GSM towers.
The benefit is apparent to anyone who gets terrible reception in an office building. If the building has public wifi (or it's your building and you have the network password). you get fully digital voice and data service even if you have no cell reception.
T-Mobile has many Blackberrys that have this feature along with a few other phones. The only device with WM6.1 and UMA I've found is the Jade. However since the Jade was never sold by T-Mobile, they don't have software for it. The only software that seems to support it is the unique software from Orange.
My goal is to skip the Orange branding crap, and get the benefits of UMA. I work in an office building as described, and I need WM6.1 or better for work software.

Hopefully somebody with a big brain can help me figure this out. I've been somewhat sucessfull at flashing roms on my jade, but I'm not sure I'm ready to cook one from scratch.
Thanks for any help,
-Rick
