I've tried to get my beloved Wallaby working now on two USA networks, T-Mobile and Cingular to no avail. I bought this new as an O2 XDA 1 in England while I was living there and miss using it so bad.
I've installed the full xda developers kit. It looks good and very functional, but I've never been able to get the phone to turn on with my new SIM from Cingular or my old one from T-Mobile.
I've tried the bandwith switcher and no dice, not on any of the frequencies. I have the model number 10A1 which is listed at only 900/1800 but Cingular runs on 900/1900 I've been told. Wouldn't it just use 900?
I'm so lost and confused. A little help anyone?
Thanks

According to a friend of mine who inserted Cingular SIM to his unlocked T-mobile pocket pc phone and it worked fine.
IT works...but could use some help.
I can confirm:
Yes, Unlocked Wallaby + Cingular SIM card = GSM and GPRS connectivity. Works fine, except recpetion is retivively crap in my area (compared to Motorola RAZR, the Wallaby frankly sucks for reception.
Any thought about a RSU upgrade that might help? Phone states it is on 6.18.00
You need the 10B1 board for the USA since 1900 is used in the US

Please tell me there is a way to get the T-Mobile version of the XDA (from Canada) to work on the Orange network in the UK! :roll: :?:
I have just bought one for my Dad (I already have an O2 XDA on Orange) and I've gone into the bootloader and selected radio 900/1800 which i believe is what orange runs on, but when I put my Sim into the device it just says no service
It's currently got RS 6.24.00 on the device, do I need to change this to 4.21.00 ?
If so how ? As I can't see the option in the bootloader to load/backup rom's like on mine
Please help
Cheers

Anyone ?
try to do a search i'm pretty sure that the gsm settings cant just be changed in software, and if thats the case then a US (900/1900) can never be used in EU (900/1800)
xda2 dont have that issues because it's triband (900/1800/1900)
Have tried searching already... couldn't find anything of relevance
There is the option in the bootloader that includes 1800, can't remember what the other exact options were as I don't have the phone with me atm. But I'm pretty sure the one I selected was 900/1800, so I hope (and pray) that this phone supports 1800.
Do I also need to select the band through WM2003 aswell as doing it in the bootloader?
Can someone confirm what band the UK networks Orange and Vodafone use, just to make sure I'm trying it with the right ones...
Any help much appreciated, as I'm getting desperate on this one, as its a crimbo present for my dad..
Cheers :wink:
Neil
EU as in all cellphone companies use 900/1800
it's the EU std like PAL is
US use 900/1900 and i dont think anybody else use that
did a quick search in the forum and came across this
http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3064&highlight=900+1800
S**t S**t S**t thats not good
I've just been doing some searching on google and found that Cellnet and Vodafone use 900 & 1800, and Orange and One2One use 1800.
Does this mean I will be able to use Voda or Cellnet as they use 900.. and the phone is on 900 / 1900 ????
Cheers
Probably, just shove a voda or O2 card in and see what happens.
Thanks to everyone who helped, my Dad has now been given his PPC and it works on Voda
Hi, I have a Wallaby which was originally from the United States. I live in England however. I downloaded the XDA Developers Rom and installed it which unlocked my device with no problems. However, the only network I seem able to use is O2 (I tried a friends chip) but I want to use my T-Mobile UK chip. I tried the function included in the rom which allows you to switch bands but I still cant get it to recognise T-Mobile, I don't know if it is anything to do with the radio stack, I don't think it is but I could be wrong? Anyway, can any of you offer anyt advice or have you maybe had the same or a similar problem? If so I would really appreciate any imput you might have. Many thanks.
xda1 is only dualband and us xda1's only support 900/1900 not 900/1800 like eu use no way of getting around that really
hi
my previous wallaby was phone edition DT Com from the states, friend of mine which bought it there for me unlocked it and I used it normally in Bosnia, also he had one US wallaby marked as siemens sx56 also unlocked and used here too. As far as I can remember he also bought one more for his cousin here too... Now you know where all those old wallabys are - here !
Dont want to argue is it possible or not just want to inform you, maybe those wallabys was some special kind, dont know.
GL
900Mhz is used by both us and eu so operators who use that band are supported but there is no way to make a dual band a tri band or any way to change a eu dualband to a us dualband that i know of
My Qtek 1020, incidentally bought in the UK, also suffers from this 'feature' and as a result only works on O2 and Vodafone (maybe others but those for sure), but definitely not on T-Mobile and Orange.
Regards,
Neil.
I bought an SX56 Unlocked and i can't get it to work on the cingular network. Its really frustrating. I called Cingular and tried to get them to update my IMEI and they couldnt do it because they said the phone originated from AT&T, but they also told me that it should still work on the network even though they can't update the IMEI! I have tried switching to all different GSM bands and nothing is working. PLEASE HELP! There has got to be a way to fix this!
-Praetorin
i can fix it for you!
$$
How
? How can you fix it? Do you know how to make it operate in 850mhz gsm?
Is there a way to change that?
-Praetorin
SX56
This is funny question!
SX56 is GSM 900 / 1900 only.
Freacking Cingular works with GSM 850.
So... what do you think?
Hey Ladies and Gents, I've got a bit of an issue here.
I've got my faithful Niki100, which was purchased in Australia, completely unlocked (spl 1.22 Hard, completely CID unlocked as per the stickied threads), but it won't read the new KTF sim I have here in Korea. It detects what the number attached to the SIM is, but won't read anything else on it.
The sim does appear slightly different (see attached photo).
The Australian sim would be a GSM/WCMDA USIM, the Korean sim is (probably) a CDMA2000/WCDMA USIM.
Regardless though, I *expected* the phone to pick it up and read the WCDMA (UMTS) part of the sim and connect - It's quite happy using the Australian sim and roaming on the 2100mhz network here, I was expecting it to do the same with the Korean SIM.
Any ideas?
I'm using a custom cooked 6.1 rom I made with the old Nike Kitchen about 8 months ago, and the 1.65.22.29 radio.
Cheers
EDIT:
Solved: It was a combination of needing new Sim Manager version, and the retarded IMEI lock South Korea puts on all foreign phones.
I'm surprised that it roamed on the 2100 Mhz network, I thought it didn't support that, the only option I can think about is try to flash a wm 6.5 rom.
I hope this solve your issue but unfortenally I'm not an expert in these things.
Goodluck
I just purchased an AT&T branded Titan for use on T Mobile here in the USA. I didn't do my research properly and I just assumed I would get at least 3G. It seems not. However all is not lost if I can just unlock it and use it on my trips back to Scotland.
If I unlock the AT&T Titan will I have any issues just popping a UK SIM in there? Does it run better on some providers?
Thanks

You will need to check with the Carrier that you are going to use the Titan over there... and see which bands of HSDPA that they support. The UK Version of Titan seem to be supported 850/900/1900/2100 , but i don't think the AT&T version support 900 band tho. You will have to recheck.
Good Luck.
And yes, you need to get the SIM-Unlock code based on the IMEI of the phone and then you can insert any sim in and the phone will use it just fine as long as the carrier able to provide network for it.
Looks like you will only be able to use it on GPRS
UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ tri-band (2100/1900/850 MHz) and quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and LTE BC4/BC17
Thanks for the replies. It makes no difference to me what network I use .
I'm having a hard time understanding the differences.
If I look at this page it lists what my phone supports..
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_titan-4027.php
Looking at this it seems my specs match up with most major UK providers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_Europe#United_Kingdom
Therefore shouldn't it work?
If it is limited to GPRS what are the limitations?
Thanks
Yep in theory it should, Just double checked and I posted specs for Titan2 oops
At&t Titan ie: Frequencies HSPA+/WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz and Quad-band GSM/GPRS/Edge 850/900/1900 MHz, Its missing 1800mhz for UK which basically means you cannot use T-mobile or Orange, But Vodafone or O2 or anything running 900mhz should be fine.
The 2G band list says "quad-band" but then only lists 3 bands. I'll bet that's a typo and that all 4 bands are supported.
I've used my unlocked AT&T Titan with local SIMs in numerous countries on 2100MHz 3G... works great.
I have at&t Titan from US in London with O2. Sometimes it woks fine on 3G sometimes doesn't work at all. I forced it to use only 2G and then it works fine.To force the phone Enter code ##3282# Then go to the Three blue dots on the right corner go to settings and in network type choose 2G or 3G depending on what you want.
Received my Titan 2 today from Across the pond, It's at&t branded but unlocked, It is working fine and shows 4G lol, I know it is just a 3G connection but no problems using it on O2, Had to manually input APN settings in cellular and that was it
Well that smile didn't last long, Can't send pic messages, Any ideas?
Hi AndyFZ1S have you tried the connection setup application from htc? Thats what i usedwhen i moved here and it worked fine. Still my 3g connection is poor or inexistant is most areas, i believe at&t phones are missing one band.

^@andres22, Thanks & yes have tried connection set-up but it says the carrier is not in the database etc, 3G works fine I just cannot send or receive picture messages, There is no option to manually put in the settings either so am kind of stuck really,
Uhmmm funny that my setup apolication has O2 settings and yours not. Sorry man. I cant think of anything else.

No problem, It may well be you have a different database on your at&t Titan compared to the at&t Titan2, Never mind, Hopefully there will be a way to sort it.
I'm having similar issue with Titan 2 using on T-Mobile US. MMS is the only issue. T-Mobile does carry Nokia 710 and HTC Radar. I wonder if there is a way to get settings from those phones.
Sent from my HP Touchpad using xda premium
The only way I can think of doing it is by flashing either a Stock Titan2 ROM (if it exists) or a custom one, That way Connection set-up would have most of the carriers in its database and not just at&t, But that won't be possible without HSPL or any ROMs, Maybe HTC could do something their end to update connection set-up etc?
