Hello, i have a big problem regarding a ORBIT2 from O2. The guys at O2 dont understand my problem , so i hope as the last hope you can help me. As you know the Orbit2 is the same as HTC cruise, o2 has no sim-lock here in germany. I use a sim-card from another telephone company and all works fine. I have problems with the sim-access profile. In my car i have a Nokia 616 Bluetooth hands free unit built in which supports sim- access profile. If i try to establish a connection between the orbit2 and my in car unit it works to the point as they handle out the password. After i confirm the given password from the handsfree device it tells me that the simcard i not valid. Is in the orbit 2 a lock on the bluetooth sim access profile which means that only o2 Simcards are allowed for the Sim access ? Can you please help me, because here is no one which understands my problem. Maybe i can have another firmware to solve the problem,the phone itself is simlock-free.
I dont understand why it is only possible with o2-sim cards to have the sim access functionality.
Can anybody help me?
Greetings Wolfman-Jack
Sorry I don't have an answer to your problem; I understand car kits using SAP are quite new.
Could you tell me how well it works with other phones in general, and how much you paid?
I understand the SAP system means the car kit has it's own "phone" but accesses your SIM card to connect to the network?
Hi there,
it works great!
You turn on your ignition key and the car kit start opening the connection to your cellular phone in your pocket without any touch of a button ect...
After your drive, you switch of the motor and the car unit disconnects the connection and give the cellular phone its function back.
A great thing, but believe me iam so disappointed that my new Orbit from O2 rejects my simcard but only in combination to my car hands free unit....
Greetings to UK!

Hi,
interesting. So just to be clear you tried
1) o2 sim in orbit II - sim access works fine
2) other net sim in orbit II- sim access not work?
if that's the case you could try flashing a new rom, but I would suggest u wait a bit. Maybe check in the kaiser (o2 stellar) forum, for same prob and how to resolve it.
check compatibility of your bluetooth car kit with Polaris seems to be ok
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/6084.htm
"This product is compatible with:
. . . .
HTC: Advantage, MTeoR, P3300, P3400, P3600, P4350, P6300, P6500, S310, S620, S710, S730, Touch, Touch Cruise, Touch Dual, TyTN, TyTN II"
so that's out of the way

ORBIT2 O2 Lock on SIM ACCESS
Hi Jackster,
i have meanwhile a little more what i have checked out.
Yesterday i took all sim-cards which have been in nearby range and what a big surprise all worked fine.
I tried prepaid cards of Vodafone, T-Mobile, and E-PLus and a contract card of E-Plus.
The only simcard which was rejected during the try of connect to the bluetooth devise is my own BASE-SIM-CARD .
BASE is by the why part of EPLUS company thats the FLATRATE PART of EPLUS.
After i tested all, i called my friend which has also an BASE contract and what another big surprise his card also didn`t work.
After all brainstorming it seems that only that BASE-cards were declined.
Next step is to find out what the differences are between all cards and the BASE sim card is. Maybe UMTS and normal GSM????
Maybe a protocol problem, because in my E51 from Nokia all cards also the BASE-CARDS works fine.
Greetings
Wolf
Wolf, I would suggest trying BASE related forums, as the same issue might happen with other handsets.
You might also try phoning BASE, tell them your problem, and asking if they have another type of SIM card you can try, even if you have to pay €10.
Good luck, and please let us know if you find the solution.
good luck
Update and News
Hi there,
i wanna update my investigations.
It works with normal GSM cards (like my old prepaid) but not with the new UMTS cards.
And my provider only has that new UMTS cards.
Maybe i can remove the program in my Phone which is in charge for the SIM-ACCESS Profile and replace it to another version ??????

it would be difficult to get an old simcard, cause all provider deliver as new card so called USIM Card, most times with 72k Size. Try to get a blank E-Plus Simcard in an phoneshop and call the hotline, ask them for a sim card change and tell them you have a blank simcard you can use (dont tell its an eplus sim card) the cant check it, they will reaktivate your simcard with your base number without questions only minor change... in the phone your provider will be stated as E-Plus cause its programmed in your simcard.

Hello Wolf,
i have the same problem with my new Touch Cruise and my Nokia 616. I tried several Sims´s the last 2 days. One Vodafone (UMTS), one normal O2 (UMTS), one O2-Multicard (UMTS) and one old E-Plus (GSM).
The E-Plus Sim was the only one wich operated normally in SAP-Mode. The other Sim-Cards hanged by connecting after pairing. After turning the igniton off and on, this cards asked for the PIN but they didn´t find a network.
Have you tried another Firmware likes Bepes???
Hello LM76,
no i havent heard about that.
Can you tell me more.

Hi Every1!!
I have used HTC Tytn with Windows Mobile 5 previously... today I have bought another one with windows mobile 6 professional...
It was prefectly alright... I tried GPRS/Edge... Msging... Calling... Everything....
I tried to install persian language... it asks for reset... I do it... and after that my HTC stops at Windows mobile logo for a long time... I reset thrice and then take out the battery pack... remove SD Card... Remove Sim... and it works...
But after that when i have inserted sim it shows No service...
Although i have tried to change the automatic network selection to manual from Start> Settings> Personal> Phone> Network
It shows all the services availble in my country but when i select the one i am using.. It first shows the message box registring sim on the network.. and then the same error...
I have tried multiple sims but not a single sim works.. while the same sims are working absouletly great in the other sets
Can any body help me to solve this problem...
I guess it is due to windows mobile 6... can any body guide me how to uninstall wm6 and install wm5!!
If you bought the Hermes 2nd hand it could have been reported stolen meaning that you won't get it working on the network. It may also be locked but I'd suggest checking with your network if it has been reported stolen. You'll need the IMEI number, dial *#06# to get it.
If its not you could try to sim unlock it.
Cheers...
but i m able to recive msgs on that sim... how is that possible if set is blocked??....
I have searched on the internet.... this problem also arises to other uers who upgraded from WM 5 to WM 6.. thats why i have thought that this problem is due to WM 6..
Any body guide me how to unistall WM6 and install WM5
My brother had a TyTN and it needed a screen repair. I did the work and he put his Sim Card into it with the new Windows 6.5 rom I installed and when trying to connect to the internet, it needs the information like the number to dial and un and pw. What is this supposed to be? I know what my cricket one is... but not for his ATT.
Hi All,
I bought my HTC Touch in Oct 07 and unlocked the same. In the network settings wizard, I see only 4 Networks for India.
1. Airtel
2. Idea
3. Hutch ( Now its called Vodafone)
4. Spice
I was using Idea and Airtel network so far and had no issues. Recently I changed my provider to Tata Docomo. When I insert the card, touch is not able to find a preconfigured network and gives a message like "contact your network provider for updates" Then I get some Number for Network name(like in roaming). I am able to make calls and send messages. But sometimes, when ppl call me, its ringing for them but I am not getting the call. The same is with SMS. I sometimes dont recieve the messages sent by my friends.
Will unlocking the phone again help? Is there any other solution? Or should I change my mobile?
Highly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Jithan
Have you tried another sim card?
There could be a few issues.
- Sim Card Problem
- Network (Carrier) problem.
- Phone problem.

Oh, can you try to hard reset or flash?
Thats surprising to hear as this problem is really rare.
Remember to backup your data, using PPCPIMBACKUP / Google Sync / Microsoft MyPhone.
yes however problem is not solved
Yes ,still problem is not solved
Similar problem
Even my Elfin keeps showing that I am in Roaming. I am using Tata Docomo and same numeric service procider name appears on screen.
As far as call drop problem is concerened, it holds for all sims.

problem is the same with 6.5 rom..
Hello, i've been searching the forums for an answer to this question but with no luck.
I have two HTCs, A Blackstone and an Elf. Both are now running WM6.5 roms. The Blackstone is running one of Stonehenges. I'm unsure which one the Elf is running.
Both phones were originally on the Orange network in the UK and today I received a giffgaff sim which runs on the O2 network.
For both phones, they turn on fine, there is no message for an unrecognised sim or a request for an unlock code. Once in WM, the phone does not connect to the mobile or mobile web connections. If I try to access the phone settings I get the "Phone not ready. Try again in 15 seconds". This is always the case so I cannot access these.
So is my phone unlocked? Or maybe I've received a dud sim? Is there anyway I can check these purely in the software? Is there a registry setting I can read to see if the phone is Sim Unlocked? Does WM6.5 have the same "Enter Unlock Code" function as WM6.0?
Thank you for your help.
Check SIM on any unlocked "stupid" phone.
Check SIM on any unlocked smartphone.
In both cases it has to connect to the O2 network.
If it does not, SIM is not working correctly.
If it does, your phone(s) is(are) Orange locked.
