Hi @ all!
I've a strange problem with my Wallaby:
Before, I had a very old model of the Wallaby, sold by T-Mobile Austria and everything worked fine. After I dropped this one (the TFT broke), I bought another Wallaby, former sold as QTEC and now, something is strange with my GPRS: Everytime I use my Pocket IE, the GPRS connection automatically is aborted when i push the Power-Button and this increases my data-traffic dramatically.
Has anyone an idea what could be wrong?
thanx very much
Your Qtek probably has an older (or just different) ROM version than your T-Mobile. Update to the latest T-Mobile version and you should be ok.
Thanx bamse, but I don't know which ROM version i ran on my old one.
Currently I'm running 4.01.19 GER T-Mobile ROM.
Any strange experiences with this one?
Guys,
I just bought a used Orange SPV M3100. After a bit of use (5-10 mins) the screen keeps blanking - all the colours keep running down (sort of pixelating) and then the screen goes white. Is the unit defective? It's still on as the green light keeps blinking and also I can receive calls. Is this just some problem with the orange rom? should I try the standard tytn rom?
I've also applied the unlocker successfully but the above happened before the update as well.
thanks for any advice!
Fred
some more info
ok, just a little more info - I keep getting white screens where the device appears to function, but it is only showing a white screen. I have to fix it following solution 1 every time:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems I ca
does anyone else get a white screen in the middle of using the device? Please let me know if it's normal or if u think mine is defective. Thanks!
I'm on my fourth SPV-M3100 in four weeks, but I've never had that...
Sounds suspect to me.
Really? what happens to yours? What hardware version(s) have u had?
All straight from Orange UK...
First one camera didn't work
Second one wasn't recognised on Orange Internet (WAP) said I wasn't an Orange user
Third kept cutting out calls after 30 seconds and wasn't connecting on GPRS
Now I'm on my fourth, which occasionally cuts out, and occasionally has connection trouble, but far better than the first three efforts.
All,
I had to send my unit into HTC to get it repaired. now that it's been "fixed", looks like they've loaded an american ROM onto it (region settings after hard reset say US):
Operator version: 14.123.1.614
ROM version: 1.23.61.4
ROM date: 07/13/06
Radio: 1.06.00.00
If anyone is interested in the EXT rom dump, pls let me know and I'll get it and post it here.
i live in the usa and i have the 8525 and i unlocked it and supercid unlocked it via pof's method.. i used fit4cat to tweak it out a little and the ptt hack to use voice command via the ptt button...
Right now i am in brazil and i have tried several peoples sim cards and none of them seem to work.. it does not give me the invalid sim message so i know its unlocked...have i done something to my phone with the hacks and unlocks that make it not workable in brazil ..is there some setting that i need to set in order to have the phone work in brazil on TIM or Claro that im not doing...
Please help.. as of right now i am sitting in a hotel room trying to get my phone to work via the internet...
thanks

anyone have any solutions???
I would say look at the wiki to find the registry tweak that enables the band selection in the phone options. And then try changing the band.
Brazil is a 900/1800 GSM-band country. Have you tried switching your phone to GSM-only?
Incidentally, I'm heading there myself next week, and I'm equally curious about how the phone will react to the network down there...
well, i hardreset the phone and put it back to orriginal and that still didnt work.. i also was online with cingular tech support and they said everything should be working.. well it isnt.. and they also said it could be the radio of my phone... so as of right now im sitting in a hotel in sao paulo downloading the rom from htc http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html ...maybe if my install got messed up some how this will fix it... on another note.. my girlfriends Moto Pebl works fine with both mine and her cingular simcard.. full service.... how strange.. ..
if i didnt the regestry tweak to pick networks to be on that might fix it .. but i should be fully able to roam already...
if anyone has some ideas' im all ears..
I found a similar thread over on HoFo. One guy also posts a solution. Here is the link: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058899

well i must say.. i didnt think this would work because of the fact my phone should work here by default.. but hey.. i gave it a shot.. i did the tweak and in the phone settings tab i set the phone band to select network type = auto and select gsm umts to GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)..then reboot to let it search again.. and blam.. it worked.. thanks guys...

one more question that is off topic... on the bottom of my 8525 the mini usb hole as a black lip around it.. on one side of it its flush with the phone and on the other side it is raised a little above the casing... is this the same with all of them.. or is the usb bezzle black thing deffective on mine?

I work for Cingular and know that they sometimes do things that don't seem logical. Like building the ROM and not allowing the auto detect of a network.
Hi there, I´m from Brazil, if you want call me, send me a pm first. I have a Tytn and universal working.

EUREKA!!! Thanks for finding and posting this, Abe. I'm having exactly the same problem in Australia and I did the same thing as you; now I have cell service!
BLAZES, CURSES AND GENERAL DAMNATION TO CINGULAR for removing the 'Band' tab from Phone | Settings. I mean really, if you'd never used WM5 before, how would you even know it was missing? It's like one of Rumsfeld's Unknown Unknowns.
HTC Tytn in Brazil - Easy with the Tweaking
Hi Guys!
Before you guys go on tweaking your devices to death, try something simple! I just got back from the Far East where my Dopod was running 3G. I had selected Auto on the network type and band. Guess what, my phone was dead! I reseted and hard reseted and eventually it occurred to me that the problem may lie in the networks setting. For some reason my Brazilian service provider (TIM) is sometimes unable to "inform" the phone what kind of network it is running and what band. Thus I forced it to GSM and selected 900+1800+ UMTS(2100). It works perfectly ever since!
Cheers
yeh, i cant figure out why they removed the band tab... it is very usefull to have... and when i was on cingular.com i went to a live techsupport chat where the woman told me my phone was deffective, and when talkin to her i realized i had more knowledge then her on the device and quickly x´d out of the window in the middle of the conversation... Bottom line is that cingular should have never removed that band tab from the phone.. well, im happy for whoever this post helps ....

wierd thing happend... after i did the reg tweak and had my phone picking up service i then went to install a few apps i needed on the phone... i didnt like the way things were going so i decided just to hard reset the phone and start from scratch... after a hard reset the phone suddenly picked up service with no reg tweak.. i cant figure out why this happend because i hard reset the phone before i applied the reg tweak and still got no service..... so no my phone had no reg tweak and service. ..strange.. i wanted to cover my ass so i applied the reg tweak again to be on the safe side...

I just replaced a buggy 8525 with a new Cingular 8525, and both of them have the black bezel sticking out from the outside just a bit. nothing a dremel tool wouldn't fix (/shudder/)
I have had the "no service" problem in both Sao Paulo, and Rio... I did the band selection registry change described on the wiki, will see tomorrow if the phone change or the reg. change fixed my "no service" problem in Brazil.
as a side note, the macro slide next to the camera lens was very loose on the old phone, would almost move by shaking the phone... the new phone has alot of resistance when sliding the macro knob...the old one must not have been attached to anything!
UPDATE: New phone works great in Brazil, I did the registry change to allow access to the "Band" selection in the phone settings, but did not have to change them from the default "Auto" settings to allow it to find the networks in both Sao Paulo and Rio. I believe the new phone fixed the problem.
Cingular 8525 in Brazil
You guys are fantastic! I cannot thank you enough for the apparent solution to the problem those of us with Cingular 8525s in Brazil have had.
I have lost many hours, not to mention some $$$, trying to get around the "no bars icon of death" on my 8525 when I was in Brazil. Cingular have been totally incompetent in trying to provide a solution, although they recognize a problem. I just posted a message in their forum suggesting they get their incompetent selves over to this forum to learn something.
I am going to try to apply the reg tweak, although I am not as technically competent as most of you. Now I can't wait until I have to go back to Brazil on business!
I'm from Brazil...
I bought an iPaq from Cingular long time ago, and I had a lot of problem to get it working here. Now I have 2 Qteks, on boght on Europe and other one bought in Brazil, both working great here.
I think the problem is always Cingular.

GR8 Conclusion!
I've mine TyTN as well, working good since that arrived here.
Hi
The problem actually is VIVO. The started a new GSM operation at the 850 band and since them all the Windows Mobile quadband devices (also triband with 850 Mhz) try to register first at Vivo. Due to a bad network configuration, the phone do not try other bands and networks and remains at SOS Only - Emergency Only since Vivo will not allow registration with another SIM card. The same problem happens with Smartphones too, even with Treo 650.

Great Julio... perfect as always
Here goes some "official info" I found:
Cingular said:
From Cingular:
International Roaming Device Issue
Issue Description:
Cingular has identified an international roaming issue impacting several
different handsets and resulting in loss of service. Specifically, users
may experience problems when devices are taken into an area where North
American (850/1900) and European (900/1800/2100) frequencies co-exist.
Cingular is not the only North American carrier impacted since the issue
is device-related, not network-related.
The following countries currently have carriers broadcasting on both
North American and European frequencies:
Brazil
Australia
Trinidad and Tobago
Thailand
The following are known devices impacted at this time:
Treo*
Samsung BlackJack
BlackBerry 7290, 7100g
LG CU500
*As a workaround, Treo users may leverage the devices ability to scan
for carriers on specific frequencies.
Current Status:
Cingular is in the process of engaging the device vendors identified
with impacted devices.

Yeah, I saw this in the Cingular user's forum. Did you notice that our 8525 is not listed in Cingular's publication?
Hi all
This is a question that relates to the Orange UK Branded HTC 7 Mozart.
Has anybody with this variant installed the Beta 2 Mango Test Update? If so, can you please say whether or not you still had access to the Orange branded apps, e.g. Orange Maps?
This is something of a deal breaker for me.
Thanks
andrew-in-woking
yes and no
Ok so as a Student, i installed the tools today.
It works perfectly (beta quality of course) on the Mozart.
The orange branding does indeed disapear. However if you have already installed the orange apps before upgrading they will not delete themselves.
Hope this helps!
Edit: actually it keeps Orange UK orange colour as a theme. All i can see that is still there!
Edit 2: weird restarted and orange selects are back! but like the htc apps can't be accessed. However search for them manually and they work fine.
So i think you are safe
Hi all,
Updated my firmware a couple of weeks ago and all of a sudden my Nokia (Lumia 800) starts rebooting 3-4 times a day without me doing anything. It someitmes does it when I am in the iddle of writing an email or text!
Vodafone kindly replaced it for me, annoyingly I updated the firmware straightaway and it's doing the same again..
I want to ask if this has happened to others? Before or after the software update?
Did a quick search, but could not see anything specific to rebooting here, so apologies if there is a duplicate thread!

No problem whatsoever on my no brand italian version. Some flaw within the Voda firmware? That would be pretty weird tho...
Versions?
pratishk... please post details of sw versions on your phone...
Your SIM card may be defective (sometimes there are gap between sim card and it's holder), try to replace it at operator office.
My micro SIM is the original coming from the carrier. It fits iphone and various micro SIM adaptor without any gap. On the contrary, the sim tray of Lumia 800 seem a little bit larger than the mirco SIM which displays gaps. Fortunately the spring system can still hold the SIM to firmly contact with the phone connector. Nokia should check the precise measurement of the SIM tray.
I had this issue with my girlfriends Lumia 800. After full battery discharge it would just not charge, turn on etc ... Phone was replaced and the new one worked fine and has been for 3 months. Luck of the draw me thinks !

Upgrade firmware to latest 15000 vodafone UK branded.
Mine has crashed and rebooted twice in the last month.
Mines been the same.
Its been fine until up to about last month when I upgraded the firmware to the latest version and I get days where it reboots 4/5 times a day. However, that said I have removed the sim card the other day and re-inserted it and its been fine so far.
Thanks guys, was worried about upgrading @kardus as that was what was causing the problem... Will upgrade and try the SIM card routine...
