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?

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.
Hi,
I have my new Nokia Lumia 800
SIM unlocked but TIM branded (Italy)
I am in Bulgaria and the operator doesn't have auto settings for internet (for this model).
I am putting them manually as the people from the mobile operator said, also written in the website.
But there is no connection!
Just Wi-Fi...
Is it because of the TIM? I know there is no logic but...
Also from the mobile operator told me that there must be some setting in the Zune when I connect the device with the computer
Please help me, I realy need my mobile internet
Yes, that approach will not work.
Get your phone on wi-fi, got into the marketplace and open "Nokia Collection". Download "Network Setup". It will set your APN's for both data and mms. Hopefully it understands your carrier and can obtain the settings.
This worked for me, I had the same issue as my phone was set for Three in the UK but I am on o2.
I have TIM version too and it works with all operators here in Serbia. JUst download app suggested and it will work
Thank you guys!
You are awesome.. just like the Lumia
Just one more.. what are the symbols for network (3G, EDGE etc.)
Now my phone have "H" next to the signal bars.
H is short from HDSPA. It is know as 3G+ on some Samsung models and it is the highest speeed you can get
Thanks, I found what are the symbols meaning by the way...
Sorry for the stupid question
Hi
My phone is Star OneM92 dual sim Chinese S3 clone running 4.1
I'm experiencing a problem with my Virgin (UK) sim. The phone is automatically throwing it in to roaming mode. The "r" sign comes up at the signal bar.
I've checked with Virgin and they confirm no roaming charges apply as its a domestic sim. Of course when I told them the phone is copy they immediatly threw a fit and I got a lecture how I should never of you one in the first place.
Its dam annoying when I make a call. I have to confirm I want to use a roaming sim.
I've tried different positions and other sim cards from O2 and Vodafone and they work fine.
Can anyone shed any light on to this and advise how I can get around this.
By the way, I know I shouldn't of got a clone and yes I'm a noob and all that. Apologies for my inexperience in advance

Hey guys,
I have a HW mate 20 pro , and for a couple of days it does not switch to LTE/4G anymore, it stays only on 3G and i dont understand why. It worked fine for a few weeks , phone is new.
I have it available on my ORANGE PLAN (in Romania), i did not change any setting in the phone, i have even changed my simcard today but with no result, i have reset my network setting, even did a soft reset.
What should i do? Is there any problem with the carrier?
Any thoughts on this? Everything else works.... PLS HELP
Please check the SIM in some alternate phone if possible to identify carrier issue.

anu3682's advice is a solid first step to rule out any carrier issues. If the carrier is not at fault, make sure the 'LTE mode' has not been disabled. In your settings, search for 'LTE' and an option for enabling LTE should pop up.
Under 'Mobile Data', make sure your preferred network settings are 'Automatic 4G/3G/2G'.
If you've ruled out the above, consider backing up your phone and do a factory reset.
Hi!
My unit - samsung note 20 cannot use mobile data on another network.
For instance, I am here in Philippines there are two major network provider - Smart & globe telecom.
Now, my phone was provided by Smart Telecom and I can use mobile data with their sim card. but when I switch to Globe telecom,
my globe sim card was greyed out on the mobile data selection. even my phone was already factory unlock.
Is there a way to access and modify this kind of network locking? If so, How?
thank you in advance !
What version of the software for the SM-N981B do you have? You can find this in about phone, match it with the listing at https://samfw.com .
