Hi there. I've recently sum-unlocked my phone, from orange to o2. I was wondering how I can change the 3g settings so they're the o2 ones, not orange.
I just unlocked my phone from orange to virgin,to change the settings i went to virgin site where everything i needed was there ,i expect you will have to go to the 3G site to get the info you want.
Okay, i'll try again.. thanks for the help. Is there any sort of guide on how to do this? Would be nice to just be able to follow one.
Remmy,
First, be sure that the 3G function is turned on at the Comm Manager. Then, try going to settings-> Connections-> Conection Setup (Or wizard) and, once there, choose your Country and operator. Let your fone configuring itself (it may restart). It may work!
Good Luck!
Stay in peace!

Hey, i got my XDA2 from eBay so i have no idea which country it was origianly purchased from which is causeing my a problem in which upgrade i should use for my phone...
If i goto O2 Active > My XDA > Connections i get a screen that says 'Select Country' and 3 options to choose from. Germany, Ireland, and UK. Germany is selected and when i try to click UK and click the finish button is says "Setting up the connection... Please Wait" and then resets after a few seconds. When i go back to that page Germany is reselected again so am i to think that this phone was purchased in Germany and its locked to "German" settings even though everything is in English?? :?
Also below it is a 'Select Service' with 4 options. PrePaid/PostPaid and GSM/GPRS. At the moment PostPaid is selected and it wont let me to change to PrePaid. I can change between GSM/GPRS, and GPRS is currently selected...
I'm not sure which options i really need in order to get MMS/Internet/E-Mail working again because i dont think they are working as they are suposed to anyway. Sites never really loaded up even though you can find pictures on the internet with them sites working
Any help would be appreciated cheers,

Hi
Read wiki...
You'll learn there how to use xda-developers tools to get detailed information about your device.
Then determine which update is best for you (also in wiki)

Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.

Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.
I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.
alright i got my GPRS back up and running.
i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.
most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet
Possible help GPRS, etc
This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.
1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..
2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...
3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.
4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.
5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.
Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??
Thanks,
Shep
ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.
in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.
I have applied both of these setting as my access point
internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com
both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????
T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.
If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.
Hi,
I have the "OPEN" inet settings from this thread working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=2
I was wondering if anyone can check out their "factory" X01HT and see if there are different settings. My connection seems slow. HSDPA is suppose to be working right? I have yet to see a 3G signal. I only get a U so I dont know if that has anything to do with it.
BTW I have the latest JASJAM ROM (1.06 Bootloader).
I actually went to Softbank to see if they could get me the settings here on Okinawa but they never got an answer. Said they would call.
Thanks for any help.

I will try today to open my X01HT and see if I have same issues as you.
Question, is there a way to buy/get Window CE 5.0 English OS and install it on X01HT?
unfortunately, it is not any setting... softbank has started HSDPA connection services ONLY within the 23 wards of tokyo and some parts of "seirei ****ei toshi" (special cities like yokohama-shi or saitama-shi.)
okinawa is not yet in the coverage of the service.... that's why your x01ht is only as fast as normal 3G...

WM5.0 OS is not sold.
however, you can change the OS by burning another ROM. to do it on x01ht, you need to unlock the device first. then, choose any WWE ROM you like, and burn it.
all the necessary info is already in wiki. you'd better read it.
Thank You
Thank You qtotter, well I was working with Softbank tech services about "no internet" and they told me to hard reset the device. They said my internet connection should be the 3rd connection under "START > Settings > Connections (TAB) > Connections"
So that lead me to believe there are connection settings. Seeing as how I can not read Kanji / Katakana can you tell when Okinawa will get the HSDPA service?
the reason why they told you to perform hard reset was the original softbank rom will restore the connection setting by hard reset. you have burnt another rom, and this does not work with your case.
secondly, they will not tell you the setting (password). if you delete the connection setting or change the password of the connection by mistake, they would advise you to perform hard reset.
currently, softbank does not even disclose the precise coverage of HSDPA. i have not read any articles about their coverage expansion plan yet.
Hi All
I've got a Tytn provided by Vodafone Spain. I'll be moving to the Uk and I'll have company phone (BT). I thought about unlocking the phone using the Internet Service (20 pounds), but after that, would it be possible to change the GPRS config in order to get it working properly (3G, MMS, etc)?. How do I do that?
Thanks for your help!
Yes, it will be possible. Just search for the right settings for your new operator after unlocking the phone. Probably you can find a cab file with the settings.
I have been given a "Hermes" from the O2 Network (XDA Trion), I want to use it on the Three Network here in the UK. Are there any settings or software resets I need to do? I understand that this phone was not intended for this network, but it seems the best phone for my needs. Any comments? Suggestions? Tips?
Hope you can help! Thanks!

Hi. I did this recently. I flashed to schap's latest rom which had some way of automatically configuring the phone (but I don't know if that happens without the rom). In order to get to planet 3 (eg check balance) you will need to pretend to be an allowed phone (eg n95 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755&page=2 ).
If you need any help, just ask. Seems to work perfectly, and with schaps rom I get hsdpa .
