Hi - anyone out there on Virgin Mobile UK (or maybe T-mobile) that is able to use the Chat functionality whilst on mobile data (3g)? I ask because it doesn't work for me, I can only use it whilst on wifi. All my other data services seem to work ok, it's got me stumped. Both my Omnia and my wifes Trophy seem to have the same problem, almost like carrier has the function blocked?

I have an o2 branded (hardware and software) XDA Exec (it's unlocked). My current contract is coming to an end, so I am looking for a new contract. I am thinking about buying a contract with 3. However, I would like to keep my current phone even if the new contract includes a phone. My question is: can I put the sim in my XDA Exec? What functionality would I be able to expect? Would I be able to make phone calls, send and recieve text messages, make video calls, send and recieve picture messages etc.?
Yep, works fine, i've used my 3 sim before! Just need to add the correct connection details for the 3 portal etc.
though the three network will work . i will not recommend it because three network states do not use anyother phone with there sim cards.
Also my nokia 6230i and nokia 3220 both were working with three but they blocked them after two weeks.
so think before you use it;...
3 now have the Qtek version of Exec on their network so theres no reason why you cant use your exec now. I've never had a problem with another 3G phone on the network. The only problem that sometimes seems to occur is when the 3G SIM is put in a non 3G phone - itworks for a while then after draining too much power (as 3G SIM is higher rating than GPRS SIM) it kills the phone.... Why not just pop into a 3 shop though or call customer services?
i'm trying to dig out connection details to three. Could anybody shed some light? I've x-series addon and it would be nice if i can get it on my universal
thanks, sorted out! excellent one, i'm able to use msn messenger & web browsing. now it's time to check skype
Edit:SKYPE also works perfectly.

Well I have just been speaking to 3 and they will NOT support any non 3 handset nor will they give out sms, mms, or internet settings, morever if they discover that you are using a NON 3 handset then they will suspend service immediately... their customer service is absolute crap... major row on phone vowing never to return or continue to spend in excess of 100 GBp each month as pay as you go customer

Hi, Can u share your 3 settings for GPRS , MMs and web browsing, please . I am on 3 and have not been able to get the gprs working , nor the MMS. Thus can't get on to the net or msn etc on my O2 XDA Exec. Just for the info I have been using 3Sim on this for the past 7 months no problems with the phone functionality.
Thanx in advance

Can anybody help with this query? I'd be interested to know too.
Thanks
you might find http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-266774.html useful it shows the settings.
I am on 3 with a XDA Exec and I can get almost all functionality aside from buying stuff from 3 online as it doesn't have the correct root certificates from 3 (and 3 never had the exec as a phone anyways!)

Hey,
My friend's phone has (free) Internet access. I doubt it's free but I know she doesn't have a data plan, and she claims she isn't getting any usage charges for accessing the Internet. She's had Cingular for a few years now. Do they offer pay-as-you-use Internet?
Anyway, I'm wondering if I could somehow establish a connection with her phone and then access the Internet. Possibly Bluetooth? I'm using the Wing (HTC Herald).
Generally phones that have BT can function as BT modem. The paring on your side should be pretty straight forward but setting up your friends phone (not a WM device right?) depends on its model.
Yeah I posted the message because I couldn't get it working. I thought I had everything set up correctly on my phone. I probably... I just have to set hers up correctly. She has a Nokia N75 - http://www.nseries.com/index.html#l=products,n75
Anyone have any experience with this?
Cingular does have pay as you go, it is very expensive like 1.5cents per k. This ads up in an awful hurry. If this is a new account for your friend, you should check online and see if she is racking up data usage. If so add a data plan before the billing cycle ends. Can be done through cs and they will make it retroactive.
N75 should work as a modem with the HTC Wing without a problem.
I rarely come up to see a data plan in US that have unlimited data access btw
Oh also btw, theres a simpler solution to just insert your friend's sim card into your T-mobile Wing (as long as its unlocked ). Cingular and T-mobile both use GSM anywayz (not like Sprint or Verizon using CDMA).
Hello,
Can anyone tell me if on the exec when browsing sites you can hear the music on myspace profiles?
also what is the best way to get cheap internet as i will only be buying the exec for mobile internet so need something as cheap as poss! the phone is a bonus
thanks
anyone? please
I haven't tried this (yet) so can't comment on quality. 3 pay as you go has the option to buy a months unlimited internet for £5. I don't know if that means data or is specific to port 80 access only.
Ian
I think its possible and I know internet radio is possible with the tmcp player. even youtube.
Hey,
The Exec does not take 3 'contract' phone sim cards does it? So that kicks that £5 per month internet thing?
oh yes it does. ive unlocked mine and have a "3" sim inside it, i get unlimited internet for £5/mo on payg
to answer the other question, some ports are blocked but personally i have a vpn running across "3" mobile network to get access to all services, even voip
it also works as a modem, which your not supposed to be able to do, but it works
Very interesting Phycho.
At the risk of asking the "bleedin' obvious" is that with WM6?
I would be interested in a run-down on the settings for "3" as I am just in the process of purchase from them.
yes. just use the network config wizard set to 3, it just works.
Hey guys,
Needing help here. Sister has one of these on TIM (she lives in Italy). When she was over in UK I was tinkering about and using mobile internet (non-wifi). The problem is though that when she has pt her own sim back in it has stayed on and now she has ran up a €400 phone bill due to her being constantly online. As I don't have the phone in front and my own phone runs windows mobile I haven't got a clue how to get her to permanently disconnect it.
Can anyone tell me how so I can phone her with the instructions?
Many thanks in advance

You can use an app such as APNDroid to enable/disable the APN she has configured. Or, she can use Wisync (or Wisync plus) to do the same.
Or she can go to Settings/WirelessControls/MobileNetworks and append "xxx" to the name of the APN that is active.
Thanks...Will call her just now
Hi
I have HTC HD2 got on contract from T Mobile UK couple of years before having windows mobile on it. Recently I have changed my service provider from T Mobile to Orange after finishing contract with T Mobile. I unlocked the phone so it can work on any network.
In the meantime when I was using T Mobile service, I had replaced the operating system from Windows mobile to Android. So when I changed the provider and unlocked my phone, my phone and mobile internet gprs was working fine on Android with Orange. Couple of days before I install windows mobile (T Mobile version of win mobile as phone was not accepting original win mobile for HTC HD2 and giving error) again on my HTC HD2. Now the problem is that phone is working fine for making and receiving phone calls but mobile internet is not working. I have checked the Data Connection Setting and only T Mobile is shown as network connection in the list, I have tried setting up different network connection as Orange but didnt work. I can't be able to delete T Mobile in the network connection list. When I select the country as UK, only T Mobile is shown in the list.
If anyone can help and provide the best solution, will appreciate. Thanks a lot.
try use rom manager for fix permission maybe it can help to fix problem
