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.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody has the blackberry software running on the xdaII with tmobile US? I know theres a specific rate plan you have to get with it, but does it allow you to browse the web with it also? What apn's are you using to do both, mail and web? How well does it work and where can I find the app?
thanks
I am using it on an XDA II on t-mobile. I hav the Blackberry minutes and mail plan that is essentially $19.99 for un,imited data and SMS messages and 59.99 for 1000 anytime minutes. As far as the Blackberry Client is concerned, I am use the Blackberry Web Client (BWC). Have not activated BES side yet. Here's my "good" and "bad" lists on the BWC side:
GOOD
1. Excellent, super fast, very reliable basic messaging.
2. Allows you to auto forward and consolidate multiple e-mail accounts and have all messages forwarded to your device
3. Allows you to specify what return address you want the recipientto respond to.
4. Allows you to make the reciepient think that the message is coming from a different e-mail address than your tmo web client address. For example, I have a RIM pager and use that address as return address on XDA. Everyone still thinks I am using the RIM device, when in fact everything is being doen to and from the XDA.
BAD
1. Have not been able to download or open any attachments
2. Clinet does not automatically open the next message, like it odes on regular e-mail. makes you open each message manually.
3. Move message function does not seem to work i.e. you can delete a message, but you cannot seem to be able to move a message to say an archive folder.
4. The client softeare is not integrated with the "Sounds and Notifications" settings i.e. the balckberry client does not show up under the "sounds and notifications" menu, making it imposible to set any kind of audible, vibrating or flashing light alert when a message comes in. All you have is a very short and quiet "beep" when a new message arrives
I can still browse the web, but some sites are not as assessible as they were under th normal data service. For example, I cannot run he Smartner client anymore. It may be possible to add a second APN for regular data, but TMo tech support put me off trying this as they said it would creat a conflict.
All in all I am pleased with the software as I have now been finally able to retire my RIM ipager and now have everything on one device! :lol:
And oh yes, where do you get the software? Its part of the latest O2 ROM image. Download and install 1.72.181 ROM for the O2 myxda website
Hope that helps
Regards
Chris
thanks chris,
So to be able to browse the web, Im gonna need the 19.99 data right? I guess thats why the web wasnt working for me, I got the blackberry app to somewhat work but the web was a no go. Thats what I was afraid of, I definitely do not want to add another 19.99 to my plan.
Thanks for confirming the info with me.
Ben
Hi Ben
I am actually able to browse the web using the Blackbery APN (blackberry.net). I also had some success with APN: wap.voicestream.com. TMo have had some network issues recently that have interupted the Blackberry service. I have called tech support and they had to reprovision the account, which fixed the problems. I would give them a call, say you are having issues with web access and then ask them to reprovision the account for you. You should be able to reach most sites. My issues were more with accessing data and relay servers and services (a la Smartner, iAnywhere etc) than regular web sites.
Give that a try and see if that helps. Let me know how you get on
Regards
Chris
Ben
One more thing. You may be doing this already, but if not, make sure that you "stop" the blackberry software before you launch internet explorer. That way you will disconnect the blackberry connection and allow the XDA to start a new data connection under either APN: blackberry.net or APN: wap.voicestream.com (whichever you have setto default) Once finished with the internet you can stsrt the blackberry messaging client up again.
Regards
Chris
chris,
When u were able to access wap.voicestream.com and the blackberry.net, did you always have the 19.99 data option on your rate plan? I was just using the wap.voicestream.com apn since I only had tzones, but since I'm using the xdaII, I was always able to view html pages. Tmobile has now blocked port 80 if your not paying for the 19.99 data package. So I was just wondering if you always had 19.99 data option.
thanks for the help.
ben
Hi Ben
No, I was able to access it after I switched over to the blackberry plan. They disabled my regular data plan first and then activated the Blackberry plan. Tech support said that I should be able to "access most web sites" which appeared to be correct, aside form some of the network problems TMo had as mentioned earlier.
Regards
Chris
How did you guys get the software on your device? I am thinking about buying an XDA just for this. Right now I have a siemens sk65 coming in but I would love to get back to a pocketpc
Hi StingOr
The Blackberry software client is built into the latest O2 ROM (1.72.181), so if you get the O2 XDA 2 and load that ROM, then you would be good to go.
Regards
Chris
Anyone have the AT&T and Tmobile network settings? I tried using HTC Connection Setup with the windows mobile standard 6.1 and it doesn't seem to work. Is there a version that does?
Check here for the ATT settings and here for the T-Moible ones.
Thanks and thank you for not telling me to search I've spent the last hour going through archived posts for it.
No problem Actually, i didn't use XDA for this one, but rather Google.
I noticed these dates on those pages are kinda old. Are these current settings to use? I have a Tmobile Wing and wanted to be able to use the AT&T sim card on there for the internet, mms, text, etc. I know it will not do the 3G, but wanted to get it working to try it out.
Any suggestions?
Flandrel
I am using the t mobile HTC HD2, I have it unlocked and running it for my at&t network. I have also started using the android program through my sim card, so basically my phone is running on the android interface. It works great, however i cannot access the internet nor send/receive picture messages. I need to figure out the VPN setting or Proxy setting for the at&t provider. Since at&t does not have this phone they are unable to help on where or how to do it.
Anyone got this same situation and figured it out?!
Please help, thanks
Try adding an apn manually using the settings from here......
Cant guarantee it will work, but worth a try.
If it does work, beware of data charges. Unless you have an unlimited plan.
I dont know where i can put in a new apn, i can only access vpn settings, and the proxy settings.
isnt there anything under "connections" - "networks" or something similar??
if not then I dont know, sorry
ok i found where to put in the apn, i put it in, but nothing seems to work, thanks for the try though...
i cant be the only person using the hd2 for at&t right? lol
might be worth asking in the tmous section....
best of luck.....
idk what that section is, im new to this blog, can you help

kabayan! i have a Pantech Sky IM-A600S but i can only use it via x-sim card. I was wondering is your unit openline to all networks? If so how did you do it?
I think there are firmware updates on their website but i cant go past the membership stage as their website is written completely in Korean and google translate does not work directly with the page. I managed to download the USB drivers but I need help in downloading the step by step guide on how to update firmware. Anyone?
TIA!
Well
I happpen to us the sky ima650s on sk telecom in korea to upgrade go to the home page isky.co.kr and on the side there should be 2 boxes click the one with the phone picture on it then it would lead u to another page go down until you find pictures of phones click the right button until u find ur vega then click it then clic on something that says 셀프업그레이드(in korean) then when a small popup comes up click the one that has the letters 비회원다운로드(also in korean) then u should get ur upgrade steps popup u would need the serial number under the battery now can anyone build a custom gingerbread rom for ima650s? I could provide any firmware files available just ask at [email protected]
What is the latest android version that you have right now? mine is only froyo. is there any gingerbread update already? BTW, i get the updates using the phones built in update component.
hoping to hear from you, and im wondering, do you know some mods that we can put on our phones?
i need help2
My fone's on froyo and there isn't any sign of gingerbread from pantech for the a650s model nobody has succeeded on flashing gingerbread on pantech devices and they say that it would be impossible unless pantechs reveals their kernel and the new vega racer's bootloader is locked so we don't know how pantech designed the gingerbread anyways the first vega model doesn't have hope achieving official gingerbread upgrade
I just want to ask if you have the sms issue? i cant seem to create sms exceeding 80 characters, in my research, i found out that korea only allows 80 characters via sms and when it exceeds it automatically changes to mms. Did you encounter this?
yes
if it exceeds (i think) 80 characters of letters it will turn to a mms and u'll need the 3g communications connected to send
I just got back from Korea and I'd like to use my phone on AT&T network, but because I cannot see the IMEI, they wouldn't let me. I borrowed the SIM card from the employee, and her SIM came up with a signal and a bit R, which I guess means roaming.
Before I left Korea, I stopped by the SKY service center in Yongsan, Seoul, and I asked them to unlock it so I could use it in Korea. They reflashed it, but I have no idea if it really can work or not.
When I insert my prepaid SIM card into it, nothing happens. No bars, no R.
Has anyone figured out a way to either totally unlock it or to use something like X-SIM with it so I can use the calling function? I don't care at all about data.
Any help would be great, thanks!!!
i buy this phone at 2nd hand, ive got mine already openline. i used globe simcard. about the 80 limit characters in texting, just download chompSms from android market and used it as your default messaging. my only problem on this phone i cant find where to buy accessories in my area (baguio). i need extra battery, wall charger and usb connector. i just found one store selling accessories located in manila.

if you have the device that connects to the proprietary port you can crack that open and look for the pinouts to make your own usb data cable and charger. that is what i did with my unit.
hey
Somebody has developed a recovery for this but has not managed to make the sd card mount work so its pretty useless anybody want to make this work only ask if you know how to handle it
sky a820l 3g locked
Hi id4thomas,
I just got sky very new model, vega lte ex a-820l, from my friend. Everything's fine, but I can't surfing 3g internet(3g lock?), my friend is no problem in LG U+, his SIM came up with a signal with R icon, is there any ways to unlock it with 3g lock?
3G connection
I have 3 Sky phones (A600S, A710K, A690S). The first thing I always do when I reset the phones to factory default is to go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Data Settings > Access Point Names then create a new APN by pressing option button (hardware button below the screeen) > New APN. I use Sun so I give it the name "sunbroadband" and the apn "minternet" (without quotes). I then select the apn by pressing the radio button because it is not selected by default. Without a selected APN, the phone will not connect to a 3G network.
Hope this helps.

One does not simply use 3G on A820L by adding the APN. You have to unlock the 3G function. We can do it easily in Vietnam, but now I have no time to translate for you, may be google translate could help
