Hi All,
Bought a SPV M3100 over a week ago (15th Aug) and got it unlocked using http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ straight away
Installed my O2 work sim in and had no problems recieving and making calls for over a week. However today I noticed the phone was just searching for an operator. Can not make or receive calls.
The original Orange sim works fine in the M3100 and so does my other O2 pay as you go sim. My work sim works fine in my other 2 nokia phones!
I have reset the phone both soft and hard
What is going on? Anyone have any ideas as i am very puzzled!
Thanks
BK
Just tried my work colleagues O2 sim which is just one number different to my phone number and the stupid thing is doing the same thing where it's just searching for a network!!!!!
Ahhhh. Someone please help.
My Pay as you go O2 sim works fine and for does the original O2 sim.
Thanks
BK
Panic over!!
Went into the phone network settings and changed the Network Selection to manual from Automatic. Then used the select button to choose "O2 - UK". The sim is now being recongnised and I have full reception again. Phew!
No idea why i suddenly have to do this out of the blue when it was working perfectly before.

Oh Man! Just when I thought i had this thing sorted. It's failing to register on the O2 network again.
Anyone else having similar problems with unlocked SPV M3100's?

Please don't say this. My SPV M3100 will be here thursday.
I have my other pay as you go O2 sim in the m3100 at the moment and it working fine.
Therefore I am guessing the problem lies with my work contract O2 sim. I don't think it's tied in any way to the imei as I have tried the sim with multiple non work phones and it's fine.
I have read somewhere there may be issues with old 2g sim's i.e. 5 years old+ working in new 3g phones. I think mine was issued to me about 2000/2001.
Now all I need to do is workout how I am going to get the company I work for to issue me a new sim!

I had similar problem as you are. My M3100 wouldn't hold onto O2 signal. Not sure if its the phone, the Orange Rom, the O2 sim card, imei check unlocking or what. Solved it by flashing the Dopod rom works near flawlessly now. Can't guarantee it'll work for you but it did for me.
I give up.
Managed to get me a brand new O2 sim from work and............ it still does not work im my unlocked Orange SPV M3100!!!!
Whats so bizarre is my Pay As You Go O2 sim works fine and my original work sim worked initially for a few days.
Going to test my work sim in another 3G phone.
If its the sim then I will try and find out what needs switching on/off. Failing this then it's either going to be ebay or see if I have enough courage to try a rom upgrade.
ROM upgrading is actually very easy. All you need to do is download the desired rom. Connect the phone over wired usb activesync & then just start the rom program & its just a matter of following the on screen instructions from there.
What you will find that once the upgrading starts it'll get to 6% or something like that & then it will stop & display error messages. Don't worry just exit the program with disconnecting the phone (infact don't touch the phone at all) & start again. You'll go through all the same screens as before but this time the update should load till it finished. Takes a good 15mins so be patient.
I'm running the Dopod rom on my M3100 & everything is pretty stable.
Thanks for the advise Zen123
I have since my last post upgraded the Radio rom to 1.16.00.00
Touching wood with my fingers crossed and my lucky rabbits foot in my pocket I have a network coverage on my work O2 sim for 2 whole days!!!!!
The device has been reset several times and I use the Tube daily so signal is lost and gained frequently.
I am however still not yet completely convinced the issue is fixed as I believe I had network coverage for approx 4-5 days with O2 after I originally unlocked it.
I'll update this thread after a week or 2.

Hi,
just to prove you are not alone:
A guy i know using a Tango sim in Luxemburg bought an unlocked Vario II which worked fine with original T-Mobile sims as well as with his old prepaid Tango sim. But his new sim from Tango makes trouble as he can only receive calls but not call others.
Tango support assumed that new Roaming functions on the new sim caused conflicts with the Radio ROM which is 1.05.
He will make an update on 1.16 within the next days, I will report.
I have an Orange m3100 with a O2 Germany USIM. GSM seems to work fine, except that I don't get o2's "home-zone" indicator.
3G doesn't seem to work however. Sometimes (very rarely) I get the 3G symbol for a few seconds and then it disappears. I'm sure it is not a coverage problem as my friends get service fine.
I don't want to flash the whole ROM to an O2 germany setting I'd prefer a UK language version, and anyway, the keyboards are different.
So maybe adding some of the o2 extended CABs will work, but I'm not sure.
Any advice on this?
Richard
Not sure if this is releated however I had a problem with using an O2 sim (2G) on my unlocked M3100 see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=278206
Any way it's now been about 4 days and I have had an continous network coverage after upgrading the Radio Rom to 1.16.00.00
I added the o2 exended cabs to my ROM and that gave me the home-zone indicator. After some investigation, I found that the reason I had no UMTS was because they forgot to enable it in the shop. Easy fixed from the portal. Oddly, I did intermittently get UMTS service (for a few seconds), which implies some bug somewhere.
I am with I-mate Rom (English one) no problems at all, I have all the time the U symbol (UMTS for 3G), I did something and now I doesn't have the home sign but I have to see what I have changed, but normally it works
Hi All
Has anybody managed to get a 3 (Three network) SIM to work on an Orange SPV after SIM unlocking.
I would like to be able to use my other phone's SIM in the Hermes.
All advice appreciated.
Thanx in advance

yes, it works fine

Can you get full HSDPA speeds though?
My 3 SIM in my TyTn won't let me go above GPRS as its not my primary phone. So I'm paying for a service I can't use. I've spoken to their CS who basically said, no sorry, you've got to use that Nokia we sent you as your phone.
My T-Mobile SIM out of my 3G data card for my laptop works like a charm.
Guess which contract I'll be ripping up next month? Clue: its not the T-Mobile one.
I have put in a 3 PAYG SIM card and it worked, but I didn't test any calls.
What does happen though is the roaming triangle icon appears if you turn off 3G, which I guess is right because it's technically roaming on Orange (although the network name still says '3')
apparently most of the networks are distributing new sim cars for use with their 3g networks, and because of the upgrades, older sim cards wont work with newer services. my 3g service in the us wont work with an older US at&t card, and they had to give me a new one. so give 3 a call and ask them for a new sim card. say yours got broken or something, otherwise they may charge you. but ask first if they will give you one free first. good luck

I think your problem might be that the 3 hsdpa service you are on is x series. I have asked in their shops about it, because it seems to be the best 3g deal, but they said its only compatible with a few phones made specifically for x series, eg n73. And it cant be used on other phoens because it is a sort of program embedden in the phones, rather then a homepage like vodafone live, which you can just link to.
Hope i have helped, and correct me if im worng

Hej there,
i am using a htc tytn/herm200, after upgrading to wm6 i noticed that my vodafone sim only accepts UMTS(2100) ????
Reception is really poor here on umts so there is actually no use for me to have UMTS on.
When i try to set network type to GSM it does not find any network and i have to soft reset (goes back to G3)
the only setting on the gsm/umts-band which works is gsm(900+1800)+UMTS(2100). If try to set it to gsm only (network type) then it finds nothing so i come to the conclusion that only umts(2100) works.
Tried several roms and radio's but the same problem exists..
My tytn is not stolen (checked it), anyone got a clue?
orange and tmobile cards do work fine in the tytn, kpn does not find anything?
thanxssssss
Hi
I have read plenty on here about the problems people are getting trying to unlock an Orange Hero, so have decided to go down the rebelsim route.
I have ordered one with the hole punch, I couldn't find any specific help on their website about how you use it.
Does it come with instructions ?
If not can anyone help me on what I have to do to use it ?
What is the hole punch for ?
Can you use the same rebelsim for more than one simcard ?
Will the phone be the same as before when inserting a new sim with the rebelsim ie. all previous applications still there/messages/emails ?
Thanks for your help.
Does it come with instructions ?
Mine didn't
If not can anyone help me on what I have to do to use it ?
There are instructions on there website on how to insert it into the phone.
What is the hole punch for ?
The punch puts a small hole in your sim card so the rebel sim fits neatly behind it, as the rebel sim has a very small chip on it. The hole does not effect the normal use of your sim if you choose to remove the rebel sim.
Can you use the same rebelsim for more than one simcard ?
As far as I know, if you change phones and wish to use the rebel sim you should be able to.
Will the phone be the same as before when inserting a new sim with the rebelsim ie. all previous applications still there/messages/emails ?
The rebel sim doesn't appear to change the phone in any way, just bypasses the network lock.
Hope this helped, I've been using mine for about one month now, had no problems at all.
Thanks for that.
Has anyone used a 3 sim card in their Orange Hero (unlocked either by code or rebelsim) ?

Mine is an Orange Hero that could not be unlocked by code, which is why I got the Rebel sim, I'm using a T-Mobile sim and that works fine.
I have bought the o2 pay as you go sim where you top up £15 a month and get free unlimited texts and internet.
Anyone know where I can get the info to change to settings on the phone to o2's ? I presume I have to change these manually ?
Thanks
I have checked the instructions on the rebel sim website but the pictures are not very clear.
Am I correct in thinking that there is a small part protruding on the rebel sim card and that you have to cut a hole on your network sim card so that the rebel sim can sit down correctly onto it ? I take it that it will be obvious where to cut the hole in my sim card ? also is it the blank end opposite to the chip ?
Thanks, just don't want to mess this up when I get the rebel sim.

Yes to all of that.
Fitted my rebel sim today and everything if working fine with an o2 sim card on my Orange locked hero.
I will give this 9.5 out of 10, I would have given it 10 out of 10 if the cutters they sent weren't pink.
