Hi guys,
I own a 32B HTC Magic (from Vodafone Germany), and have been able to use my Virgin Mobile (Australia) SIM card, but have only 1 issue, I can't seem to get 3G working.
I know I have a 3G capable SIM, because it has been used on a Nokia 6110 Navigator at full HSDPA speeds. I'm curious, is there a strange lock that ensures that I can only access 2G and WLAN networks? Is there a work-around that I need to sort out to get access to 3G?
Thank you

Hi,
I'm just wondering if the 3g network/simcard will work on the O2 Mini?
This network is in Australia, so for those in Australia knows please let me know.
Cheers
im not sure, i dont think itl work cause the 3G simcards use a different voltage or something, you can use normal sims in some 3G phones but not the other way round...
3g
I have Orange USIM (3G) sim card and its workinhg on Magician without any problem
Some 2G SIM cards can also be used to access 3G networks and 3G services(these type of sim cards is sometimes used, for example in 3 Hong Kong). Some 3G SIM cards (like the ones they have on 3 Australia) are just 3G sim cards, meaning they wont work on 2G phones.
3G needs a special technology which is not available in mini' hardware. Mini users have to just stop with what we already have as they wont even release a WM5 i think so.
However to use 3G effectively you need a cam in the display's front!

Are you able to download at 3G speed? Pointless having a 3G simcard if you can't go faster than GPRS.
If a phone doesn't support UMTS then you won't get a faster speed than GPRS (or EDGE) no matter what sim you put in it.
Hi all
I use a T-mobile Vario II (HTC TyTN), unlocked and with the new dutch Windows Mobile 6.
With a sim of Tmobile i get instantly a UMTS-connection.
But: when i put in a different sim, i only can connect to GPRS.
The phone refuses to switch to 3G.
The sim is 3G-enabled (in my laptop-modem UMTS works fine), and the connection settings are OK.
Anyone know about this problem?
(I have to add: the phone is constantly in Roaming-mode, because the network-sim is from "Telfort" wich uses the dutch network "KPN"... does this have to do with not getting a UMTS connection??? Or is it a known problem in my WM6-version (Dutch) ???
I have to add:
Does it have to do with the HTC wanting to have a usim, for connecting to UMTS?
Because i believe my provider (Telfort - NL) does not have Usim (although they sell high-speed mobile data-subscriptions)
UMTS works
Hi,
I am a Telfort customer. UMTS is working at my TyTN, but...
It is NOT working on my wife's P3600. Strange thing.
I have the same issue,
On Telfort_NL only GPRS. Did you solve your problem?
Hi all,
Just got my first WM phone a Dopod 838Pro and looking forward to doing lots with it. But I just put my Virgin Mobile SIM in (Virgin Australia) and the phone says it's connected but says the carrier is Optus ???
I tried doing a manual search for Virgin and it only finds Telstra, Vodafone and Optus. Firstly yes I'm in Virgin coverage as I'm at home and always have a full signal. So my question is do any of the Australian folks on here know how to get this phone to work on Virgin's network please?
I recently brought a vodafone htc magic that has been unlocked. It works fine to make calls and texts on the O2 network but won't pick up a 3G signal. I've put a new 3G sim card in it and still makes calls and text without a problem. It just won't pick up a 3G signal so can't browse the internet or use market etc. Any advice or tips would helpful.
Cheers Adam
I don't know what 3G frequencies O2 uses, but make sure that vodafone magic and O2 network uses the same frequencies. If not, you cannot use your 3G signal.
I put up some instructions last year on the O2 forums about how to do exactly what you're asking.

Hi guys,
2 month ago I bought a secondhand S4 (KOT49H.I9505XXUGNH6 - ARMv7 processor - android 4.4.2) in Thailand for I´m on a bicicyle journey and wanted to use GPS navigation und Internet. For now everything went well.
Now I´m in Georgia and I want to use 4G Network via Prepaid Company "beeline". The phone connects only to 2G. In "network-mode" it shows only GSM and WCDMA, neither 4G. Even if I force the 3G Network it gives me the messages "Selected Network unavailable". I found out that the phone is a branded version from Vodafone Australia (VAU) - not a hunch how the phone comes to Thailand. Anyway.
Is there anything that I can do to unlock 4G Networks for my phone?
thx in advance
cheers ben
Make sure the sim card from beeline is a 4g card
