Hi. I have unlocked my 64Mb XDA and am switching between my O2 and my Vodafone sim. I have noticed that very often with my Vodafone sim, after having switched off the phone part, I cannot switch it back on. I have to remove the sim card and reset a couple times before it works again. My XDA does now show this behaviour with my O2 card .... any clues?? (BTW, my O2 card has no GPRS, my Vodafone card does have GPRS)
Correction: My XDA does NOT show this behaviour with my O2 card .... any clues?? (BTW, my O2 card has no GPRS, my Vodafone card does have GPRS)
probably yours vodafone sim is too old - simply times exchange
My vodafone sim is from May 2002. Aside from that, when I use it in my Nokia 6310i with my iPaq h5450 and bluetooth, it works flawlessly!
Some SIM cards, particularly from Vodafone, draw more than the specified current. The xda is sensitive to this as the battery life optimisation is a little aggresive.
Get a new SIM card. If you "lose" your SIM Vodafone will charge you £15, but I did it and my new one works fine.

I have an O2 XDA with an O2 PAYG sim card (not the online type). The normal GPRS setting work with my other contract sim but not with the PAYG sim. I rang O2 who emailed me the setting instructions for an XDA II and I tried to put them in but still no go. The settings O2 emailed me appear to be for wap too. Can anybody throw any light on all this please?
Can anyone help?
Have xda atom but cannot use it on t-mobile uk! Keeps connecting then disconnecting and have no gprs signal. Have had a new sim card sent but still having the same problem :evil: The sim is a 3g sim but t-mobile says that does'nt make a difference should be able to use in a non 3g phone? Is that True??
Put my orange or vodafone sim's in and connect to their networks no probs.
Anyone any suggestions please? :wink:
Try it on other non 3G phone? or try it at different geographic location
Thanks for your suggestion hanmin. Have tried different location but still the same. tried in another non 3 g phone and had the same. Have signed up on an o2 payg chip and no probs and have also now tried an orange 3g chip and that worked too. Now in dispute with t mobile as the chip is now playing up in my mda pro too and has been for a while (not a faulty pro after all maybe!)
Wished never switched to t mobile as always been an orange user!! why oh why!! :roll:
Have the same problem as you but on Virgin MObile UK. Am thinking of changing providers. Just moved from australia and brought my o2 atom with me.
Just to confirm, you've tested with vodaphone and o2 SIM and both worked fine?
Hi tristrem21 sorry have'nt looked on xda developers for a while! so did'nt notice your question regarding service providers. Yes have tried it on o2 and Vodafone and the sims work fine. It will also work well on Orange too.
same problem, bump for solutions
anyone though of anything yet?
thanks for the tip lob. have switched to o2. works fine now. cheers
Hi,
I have been given a sim free HTC Tytn and want to use it with UK Vodafone. I currently have an ex-Orange SPV M2000 which i unlocked and it has been working fine with my Vodafone sim. With my M2000 i can make calls and browse the internet at the same time, but with the new Tytn i cannot do this
Is there a fix, should i upgrade it to the latest version or perhaps try and flash it with the V1605 Vodafone flash??
Advice really appreicated from one of the many knowledgeable people on here please,
Cheers
Here, use the Vodafone UK CAB

Hi, Thanks for your help so far,
I have installed the HTC UK Settings .CAB file from the helpful post below
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
I can now access internet using my Orange contract sim card (which has GPRS activated) although if i am on the telephone i cannot go to browse without ending the telephone call.
my Vodafone contract sim needs updating so is not available for GPRS, but i presume this will be exactly the same.
Is it IMPOSSIBLE to use Internet browsing whilst making a telephone call??
All help appreciated, Many Thanks
For simultaneous voice and data you must be on a 3G/UMTS network with a SIM card supprting 3G. If you are on a GSM network it is not possible.
Ok, so my problem lies solely with the sim cards?
If both Sim cards were upgraded by the Network to 3g sim cards, The UK settings i have installed would allow my sim free Tytn to work as required?
More Info:
I have just spoken to Orange customer services and i do have a 3G sim card and it is active, is there anything i should be altering in the settings menu or anything other files that need to be flashed or installed onto the phone?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge - hope one of you experts can help!
Thank you
Can anyone help me pleasse????
are you in a 3g area? have you tried the sim in a known working phone? have you looked at the wiki or done a search on the forum?
I am using this phone with an O2 Germany sim card and have noticed that it does not roam when it does not receive O2, like in the underground. So I have no signal and it keeps searching until it finds O2 again. Is it a problem with the phone? I have used the same sim card with other two phones and never had this kind of problem. The phones always switched automatically to another network when O2 was not available. Can you help?
I bought a used Orange UK TG01, unlocked it with an unlock code, then flashed some cooked ROMs. Voice calls work perfectly, but a "Cannot connect for an unknown reason" comes out immediately when I use anything that needs a data connection. This even happens with a stock Hong Kong WM6.5 ROM.
Is my TG01 defective? I flash ROMs with SDDL+ and my microSD card is a Transcend 8GB microSDHC Class 6. The only things I haven't tried yet is using a microSD (<2GB) card and using the pin shorting method to flash ROMs instead of using SDDL+.
I'm in Hong Kong and my mobile operator is PCCW 3G. All connection settings are correct. The same settings and SIM card work with my HTC TyTN II.
Try this....
Change your sim card with your friends or your wife's. I am thinking that your phone company is the problem. I had the exact same problem with my phone here in Japan. Said something just like your message. So I swapped the sim card with the sim card in my wife's phone and boom... my phone worked perfectly. I had to call my phone company over and over and over again, then they said that they will "refresh" my phone account and it took three days. So... just try a different sim in your phone, the problem you are describing is EXACTLY the same as I experienced. No data connection, but SMS(I think.. I am not sure, it happened to me three years ago) and phone works fine.
Check it out, tell me what happened when you swap sim cards?

Luckily my operator happens to be carrying out some network upgrades which requires me to get a new SIM card from them, no phone calls needed.
I got my new 64K SIM card and bam, everything works perfectly now! The chip on the SIM card is smaller than my previous SIM card.
