I'm at last a proud owner of my very own XDA 2. The problem is, I cannot use it as a phone.
The phone arrived this morning, along with a pay-as-you-go sim which I got seperately. I put the sim in the phone, turned it on and then was presented with the 02 screen which asks you to select a few options as below:
Select Country:
[ ] Germany
[ ] Ireland
[ ] UK
Select Service:
[ ] PrePaid [ ] GSM
[ ] PostPaid [ ] GPRS
The trouble is, I can't select prepaid. It just doesn't let me - unless I select Ireland. Is there any way to select the UK and PrePaid together? Is it possible to update my ROM to get around this?
It doesnt matter that you cant choose prepaid, I have the same, the phone still works ok, you just have to enter the payg information for internet/wap.
Ahh, excellent. Thanks for that info. I was actually holding out on topping up as I didn't know if my money would go down a black hole or something
Thanks again.

Hi there, I am wondering if it is possible for the XDA to work in Australia. I have the upgraded rom from Xda devellopers and have removed the sim lock, but it dosen't seem to pick up the Aus networks.
Any help would be great
What for device are you using? PW10A or PW10B?
Maybe it's a problem with the GSM-networks. PW10A is for 900/1800MHz and PW10B for 900/1900
Have you tried to search manual for any available services?
Stefan
How do I find out the PW10a or b info.... The other version info is as follows
ROM Version; 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version; 4.21.00
Protocol Version ; 32s54
Sorry, found it....PW10A1
I am guessing no one has any help or info about this. what a wasted purchase.
The XDA/XDA II/XDA III (IIs) do work in Australia.
Where is your XDA from, country? What network are you trying to connect too down here?
I have been told it is from the UK. I purchased it 3rd hand so I can only go by what the previous owner has told me.
In the auto config screen, I get the options for 02 network from UK, Ireland, De and a few others.
I am wanting to connect it to an Optus network preferrably, but any would do.
I have tried Optus (plan and prepaid) and telstra plan, but no signal shows up.
Just clarifying, you have tried Optus and Telstra phone services or data services?
You verified the SIM's worked in another phone?
The sims are able to be swapped into various phones, I have a panasonic gd50, a nokia 7250 and a motorola v600, and an ericson (can't remember what model) and they all work in each other.
The sims are set up as phone service, ie: normal mobile usage, I have even tried an optus prepaid in it.
I am only wanting to use it for the phone service, gprs and net usage is not of interest as yet.
Howdy, I have the same model and it works fine on Telstra. I originally had problems with SIM lock and GID lock, but after upgrading to 2003 from lumpistefans kitchen I've had no problems with it! Good reception and minimal drop out. It's not a waste of money. The ROM i used was the O2 one and did not use the auto config, it finds it for itself and aknowledges the telstra network fine. If you go to an Optus shop they should be able to help, they also have pretty good phone help and should be able to talk you through the settings,
Good luck!
Peace,
Robert
Thanks Ryap. I am thinking that it should automatically find the network tho......is this not the case
I know on XDA II and PDA2K you can select the network or set it to Automatic. Might want to check this setting.
SETTINGS > PERSONAL TAB > PHONE > NETWORK TAB

I think you are confusing the autoconfig of the device with the network setup for the phone.
You can cancel the autoconfig that appears at the end of a hard reset. This just gives you some quick settings for the GPRS and MMS networks - you can add these later after talking to Optus.
Once the SIM is in, you need to make sure the phone is on by switching OFF flight mode. This kicks the phone in. Then if Optus is not picked up as your default network you just go into Settings>Phone>Network and then use the Find Network button and then the Set Networks button. After that you can check the Automatic Network selection button to make the settings stay.

Hi all, thanks for the support so far,
As of now, I can't get any network at all....still.
when i insert the sim and enable the phone it says serching, but thats about it.
I have no idea where to find the flight mode, and when I click on the phone in the settings screen, nothing happens.
I don't get any carrier name or logo come up and appear.
Cheers
Michael
On XDA II (don't have XDA) when the phone senses a service it puts four vetical bars next to the speaker/volume icon at the top of the screen. If you tap the bars it should bring up a pop-up, this is where there should be a line (link) to click on that says "Turn off flight mode". I am not sure if this is part of the original XDA though.
When you clicked on the PHONE icon under SETTINGS it didn't do anything?
At the top bar, next to the speeker, I have a tree type logo and when i tap it it says searching. When i open the phone and then click options, it freezes for about 5 maybe 7 mins and then the settings screen opens, from there it freezes and i can't select anything
Hi all.
I am greatful for you help and support up till now.
I have managed to fixmy problem.
When putting the xda devellopers rom on the pda, ther eis an option calledGSM Band in the programs list.
Well turns out it was set to 900, so i changed it to 900/1800 and rebooted the xda.
WELL HEY PRESTO, IT FOUND THE OPTUS NETWORK
So all is good and all works.
As I mentioned before I am greatful for all the support and thankyou to all who racked their brains over this.
i can't believe i am asking such a simple question but i have unlocked my T-Mobile HD2 and will be in europe (greece) and wanted to add the data connection while i am there. anyone know how to do this?
Presumably you'll be buying a SIM when you get to Greece?? If so, all you would need to do after inserting the Greek SIM, is to go to Start | Settings | Connections | Connection Setup and pick the country / mobile operator you're using and it should (famous last words ) configure all the settings for you.
One thing worth mentioning..... it's probably worth loading the Connection Setup application before you go, select Menu | Update database, then make sure "Update...settings of all operators" is selected, then tap "Update Database". That should give you the latest and greatest settings for when you get to Greece!!
Hope that helps,
Mark.

I may be wrong here, but im fairly sure the tmous (@OP, you did mean a tmous, right? ) only has the connection settings for tmous. Certainly people in the tmous thread using it on at&t have to manually enter the settings. (or use the following...)
Alternatively, hunt around for the 'connectionsetup.cab' cab from the regular leo that is floating around the forum, and run that when the new sim is in the phone.
If you didnt mean tmous, then just run the connection setup you already have, as Mark said above.
@samsamuel - good point about the TmoUS HD2 only having their own settings forgot about that!! The utility is available in just about every ROM I've ever flashed, so I didn't give it a second thought!!
The connection setup CAB file is definitely the way to go (even if you only d/l it to your SD card in readiness for your trip).

I bought my S2 from Hong Kong and its rooted and on XEU firmware etc, in HK it seems I can pick up 3G, but when I come back into China, Guangzhou all I get is Edge, is there anything I can do as I know there is 3G available through China Mobile?
Cheers Guys...
Maybe Guangzhou doesn't have 3G

Cheers Iznee,
Did the first bit, but having problems on how to get the asterix into option 4 (combi) can't seem to work it out. select menu and type 4 for the line just takes you into the option, how on earth do you select options in debug mode lol

Opening *#*#4636#*#* Phone info shows, "This application does not work on this device
I'm trying to change to the LTE network which is not available in the Mobile Networks. My carrier is Freedom Mobile and I'm running Android 7.0, with the LG G5. Anyone know how to fix this, or if this something the Carrier did to the phone ?

I was able to force the phone on to LTE, but it won't switch back to LTE after making a call. It stays on 3G.
Hi, guys!
I'm trying to fox my LG G5, but seems nothing works... I bougth this refurbished device in USA last octuber. I used it in Venezuela with my venezuelan phone number perfectly until march 2019. Then, suddenly, my device stop working. Now, is unavailable to recognize any network, no matter what SIMcard I plugged in (My SIMCard works perfectly in other devices, BTW). So, I went to three differents suport services in Caracas, but anybody could did anything. Now, I'm trying with some codes that I find, but it didn't work either. Actually, my device couldn't recognize some of them... Can you help me, please? I'm desperate to fix my LG G5.
