[Q] Is my phone locked to another country? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Greetings all,
I've been scouring the net trying to figure this out and all roads keep pointing back here.
I purchased an x10 mini off eBay for a good price and upon receiving it, every time I boot it up it is set to Portuguese language and has me select a language. There is also no sim card in the phone.
While I can select English, this is a rather annoying side effect. What are my options to correct this and get it to default back to English?
Will rooting/installing a new rom correct this? Do I need to buy a sim card for the U.S., can I unlock it through software? I see something called fastgsm that allows you to unlock the phone but since that's just a piece of software, I'm inclined to believe it can be done without paying an extra 25$
Any direction would be immensely appreciated!

If your phone doesn't have a SIM it has no idea where it is. Put in a sim-card (take one from another phone if you don't have one available at the moment) and see what it does.
It can not be locked to a country, although it can be locked to a specific provider. Having said that, there are two versions for different global regions, where they use different frequencies for 3G. The most common type is the E10i which will work in Europe, North America and some other regions, and the E10a which is built for mainly South America I think.
But anyway: Put in a SIM and see what it does.

That makes a lot of sense. I don't have one on hand so I'll purchase one and give it a whirl then. I'm not even looking to use this as an actual phone, just a large mini mp3/video player.
For reference sake, this is the e10i.
Thank you!

Are there other settings it tends to forget when turn off your phone? Like maybe changing the theme or something like that? That might point to a little difficulty in writing the internal memory.

Things were staying set other than the language being prompted at bootup every time. I grabbed a random US sim card, the cheapest one was a 4$ at&t gophone card. Once I put that in it ran a default setup and everything has been fixed since then.
Thanks a lot for the direction!

Change languaje of HTC Hermes/SoftBank X01HT

I want to know is there is a possibility to Flash the HTC Hermes of Softbank:
http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/en/product/3g/x01ht/index.html
And change JAPANESE the ROM to English (or Spanish) one.
Thanks!

Beware the X01HT from SoftBAnk uses Bootloader 1.06. Basically that means that flashing it is impossible unless a fix for the bootloader issue is found. I just found out that I am stuck with Japanese now too

I had plans to go this afternoon to buy one What is this problem? I was looking in the forum but I couldn't find anything about it
The problem is that with Bootloader 1.04 the update software did not check the vendor ID of the Hermes. That meant that you could update a e.g. Cingular model with a T1 ROM or use a ROM with a different language.
Hermes that have Bootloader 1.06 (like the SoftBank X01HT) nocw ckeck that ID and won't let you update with a ROM from a different vendor....
Before you buy it, you can check mine if you are in Tokyo....
Yes, I'm living in Tokyo
So, is not possible to flash it Is there any post that speak about if they're researching to fix this issue?
Anyway, I don't speak many NIHONGO. Do you know any way to make it work in English (or almost English) ??
Other thing. I read in the Web that this model can't handle MMS. I imagine that it's because they didn't put a MMS program there. Could you make MMS work in your model?
Thanks for all!

Sorry for my late response here - I'd say currently there is no (easy) way to use a different ROM of the SoftBank model. I wil require somebody to come up with a solution for that, but that may take time. I'll go to the SoftBank store on the weekend to see if they plan to come up with an English model.
Right now, the unit will work in Japanese and Japanese only, no way you can get it to work in English as far as I can say at the moment.
MMS also does not work, so you are restricted to SMS. I am myself contemplating taking it back (I made an arrangement with the SoftBank people last Saturday to try how far I can get...) and get me a unit form Singapore.
So, if you are not comfortable with the restrictions, I'd rather advise to wait with the purchase. Let's see how DoCoMo will handle this...
Some more points:
You cannot use it currently as a wireless modem for your laptop (that's disabled)
There is no MSN chat on the unit (disabled too)
Outlook is fully restricted to SMS, I could not get pop or imap access to any other mail account to work.
I had the opportunity right now to compare a frirends DOPOD variation - he bought in Singapore. e uses it while visiting here utilizing his Singapore SIM roaming. On his, all functions work, including wireless modem, etc.
In my opinion, SoftBank did a great job in crippling the X01HT to the extent that it is less functional than an odinary Japanese 3G phone. My best advise is to buy a unlocked in Singapore or Taiwan. Alternatives on the Japanese market are the Wilcom units (but agreed, they are big and ugly compared to the sleek X01HT)
Hope that helps...

That's impossible. Softbank is removing all the staff for gaijins that Vodafone put here. For example, now WAP (Yahoo! Keitai) don't have any in English (I used the "last train" opcion a lot in the past).

You can still get that - on you phone, start the browser, the second left icon on the top and you are back on the old page where you can find the 'English' link at the botoom. But I agree, SoftBank is a huge step away from opening Japan to the West....
I probably have the chance to travel to Singapore within the next 3 weeks and will check the price there. I got friends in Singapore as well as in Taiwan and China who could ship the unit to me...
Hi!
this is the UK Expansys url. There are other deals with different accessories etc.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=TYTN
Ofiaich
Outch, this is expensive, considering that I got mine here as an update deal for my old mobile for something around $150-US... so I should not worry about the restrictions too much... ;-) I now managed to get Gmail up and running in mobile Outlook, so the SoftBank model becomes more and more practical.
What I still do not understand is why they disabled using it as a modem - that is really the single biggest drawback for me. The modem applet is simply not there and without it, dialup from my laptop via Blootooth does not work. It works fine with the same SIM in a Vodafone 3G phone, so I conclude it must e the missing modem app...
BTW, as an anectode - I recall the street price I saw in Taipei 3 weeks ago must have been somewhere near US-$ 400.--
Thanks for the link though!

Anyway, please try MMS program, because MMS in quite important for me

I'll install MMS tonight and let you know...
I've tried the app and it looks great - however, when I try to send MMS it freezes and, well, that seems to be it then. There seems to be a real hard limitation why SoftBank cannot send MMS...

anyone interested in exchanging your Athena with me in English version

I know many people having problem in flashing the unit into different language.
If we couldn't do it due to CID lock.
Why not just swap our phone directly.
I base in West London. If anyone want to swap my AMEO in English version with his/her Chinese version. Please let me know.
My device is brand new from T-mobile and bound to T-mobile network currently. Of course, you can unlock it later on.
How you will flash it after exhange?
DUH!
you dont need to.
I really hope that was a joke.

It sounds to me like the power button is faulty. I would exchange it with T-mobile - all you need is the box and to be able to show them the fault and they will swap it for you in any T-mobile store which has stock (which isn't many).

Hot swappable Ameo - an EASY mod!

For anyone who's interested in making the SIM on their x7500 hot-swappable - like the Kaiser -and perhaps hasn't been sure whether to try it or not, the fiddly little clip that goes over the SIM card and which cannot be opened without removing the battery CAN be taken off with a little careful persuation and agitation.
It has no effect on the sim (which is held in place perfectly well by friction) and makes me wonder why HTC put it there in the first place.
I have been using my handset with this mod for about a month now, swapping sims between my normal handset and the Ameo with no problems whatsoever. The clip can easily by reattached in the event of a sale or warranty repair.
Upon hot swapping you have to deactivate and reactivate the via the Comms manager et voila!
Pictures attached.
Leon
yep i been using it like this for about 3 months now as well
it works really well...
although the sim for me was a bit hard to get out each time so i took a knife and cut a little groove in the sim card so i could get my nail into it
thanks for your point!! good idea!

Why not simply get an extra sim card though? In my case that costs 18 euro.

define what u mean by an 'extra sim card'. I have a specific number with an attached data tarif which I want to use with my n95 and also my ameo (when im not out and about) are you talking about a pay as you go sim card, a new tarif or some kind of 'spare' sim as I was not aware that I could get a clone sim card.

I think the marketing term is "Duo SIM". It's a clone of the original SIM. Some companies give one for free (IIRC Vodafone).
You can use only one at a time though (you have to switch the phone you don't use off).
i'm on t-mobile uk and they certainly don't offer this service. I'd be interested to know how i could clone my sim though, since my reasons are entirely legitimate. Does anyone know if this can be done or if it's allowed?!
there's a reason you can't just pull the simcard out; and it's because the radio *really* doesn't appreciate it and generally speaking, it shouldn't be done.
that said, there's all likelihood that it won't matter anyway.
do you feel lucky, punk?

I would also be very interested in this in the UK, but I've never come across it.
If anyone knows any better, please let us know.
Alternatively, is it possible to 'clone' my sim? Or maybe ask for a replacement sim for my 'faulty' one, and then use both... not at the same time, obviously.

T-Mobile UK used to offer this service, back when it was One2One, but to Business Users only. The benefits were that people could have a SIM in their mobile and one in their car phone, however for two reasons it was stopped. Firstly the car handsets never really took off, and secondly and probably more obviously security reasons.
As far as I'm aware, the other UK networks are of the same standing.

Also, if you clone your card and the network detects two users, it will disable one of the sim cards. (In theory anyway - I don't know if people have created a "workaround")

Indeed, T-Mobile says you need to switch one phone off. Otherwise the first phone logged on will stay logged on. Which is unfortunate. You'd wish the phone you have with you to get the connection even if you forgot to switch the other one off.
I still have to go pick mine up, so I don't know exactly how it works. They did tell me that I will get 2 new SIMs. Not sure why, but that might be an indication that you cannot simply clone any SIM.
Duo SIM
Enquired with T-Mobile in the UK... They don't do the Duo SIM. Very annoying. I remeber that back in Holland every provider (used to) do them; car phone & mobile. My dad had one (eh... two?). Does anybody know if it's possible to clone a USIM?
I have an Ameo (Athena), an M3100 and a laptop with a UMTS card built in, so I could do with not having to swap SIMs every time... SIM is getting a bit worn...

[Q] UK Titan - no US region settings

Hey everyone, sorry if this has cropped up previously but I've searched to no avail and no one from Microsoft has an answer either.
I've got a new HTC Titan sitting here, completely unused. I won it at the Windows Phone Inner Circle event in Denver weeks before the device's US launch, but I still haven't switched over. This is because the device is a UK phone. The phone does not appear to have any US settings at all, is unlocked, and even comes with a UK plug instead of a US one. Presumably, this is because I won the device before the US version was ready for release.
The issue is that even when I switch my region settings over to "English (US)", nothing actually changes on the phone when it restarts...everything is still English (UK). For example, "synchronising", "favourites", "colour", etc. At first I thought that this wasn't a big deal, but it might be if other region settings persist. So I have three related questions that I'd love to find out:
If/when a custom bootloader is released for the Titan, can I use it to flash a US ROM to my device?
I have to switch carriers to AT&T in order to fully use the Titan (hence my hesitation), but will bringing the phone to AT&T and letting them activate it have a chance of loading US settings onto the phone? I know that will load AT&T app marketplace options, which is why I was curious.
Most importantly, even if none of this can possibly change, will I at all be restricted by UK region restrictions for Zune, Marketplace, etc.? I have a US-based Zune and WLID account, but this is my main concern because of the phone's region.
If anyone can share some insights on this, I'd really appreciate it.

1. US ROM must be considered. Because the AT&T version Does use the different Chips for different Radio version. It might get the phone bricked. The Goldcard tecnique is not available on Titan, so Official AT&T Rom to flash on the phone is nearly impossible. It need to be done by 3rd party.
2. No. Your Live ID will determine which content you can access. Don't ask why people at Asia can still submit and buys apps that are for US only.
3. The region of the phone could be changed, but not the agent inside. So, don't be surprise that you have the English voice comeout from Tellme and Turn-by-Turn navigation from Bing maps doesn't work at US. You can change, the Region Format, System Locale and Browser &Search Language to English (United States) but it can't change the fact, that this phone is built for Europe user. I will ask HTC if they can bring the custom language pack (if possible) to Windows Phone. I am still talking to HTC Tech Support about this.
I contacted HTC Support several times and they didn't give me any solution (apart from doing a deadly mistake of telling me to search the Android Market for an application :S)!!
I'm still hoping we find a different ROM to flash. Is there an Australian version maybe floating around? I'm dying to use voice navigation and Tellme (which doesn't understand anything when set to English UK).
Thanks for the replies...starting to think maybe I should just sell the thing and use the money to buy a US Titan - especially due to the points about navigation and TellMe. Of course, I'd probably want to sell it to someone in the UK so no one else has region problems. Maybe I'll start looking into that.
In the meantime, if any encouraging news pops up about this, let me know

[Q] unlocking for all networks

Posting specifically in the MTATRIX4G forum (probably could have got away with the general forum)...
Looking to unlock my Motorola Atrix 4G to work on all networks. Couldn't find a guide....
There are guides everywhere. It seems you fail at basic searching.
Call AT&T and ask for code, or buy the code online.
Why would I call AT&T? Not everyone in the world lives in United States of....Something (to be blunt my carrier is Orange in UK, look it up on a map - unless AT&T are so generous that they would accept my IMEI, even though i'm not with AT&T?? That would be generous of them)
Let me rephrase - plenty of people selling unlock codes and plenty of dodgy software where you need to fill out some weird survery (never going to do that as it's always a con).
So point taken, let's rephrase again - Can someone help me find open source software to unlock the Motorola Atrix 4G?
Atrix 4G is only available on AT&T. Elsewhere in the world it is called Atrix, not Atrix 4G. Since you keep mentioning Atrix 4G, I naturally assumed you're on AT&T. No need to get rude, next time try being more precise instead.
In that case, you'll have to buy the code online. A way to unlock "at home" does not exist. I have no recommendations for a good unlocking site, wait for someone else to chime in.
Good point, will take it onboard. I had suspected buying an unlock code (which I don't mind per say as it's going on ebay anyway and adds to the value). Unless someone else has a plausable trusthworth site i'll bid thee farewell.

Yup, plenty of choices online, range from 8 quid to 20, i'll just use the one I used last time (althought this time I got greedy and looked for a free option )
Weird ATT provide it for free, Orange in the UK charge a flat rate of about 23 quid (and only if you're in contract with them)

Another thing to keep in mind is that some of us could not unlock with any AT&T radio at all. On my phone, I had to flash the Bell Canada radio before AT&T's unlock code would work. Of course, I flashed back to AT&T's radios and the phone remained unlocked. Just something to keep in mind.
