Can anyone help?
Have xda atom but cannot use it on t-mobile uk! Keeps connecting then disconnecting and have no gprs signal. Have had a new sim card sent but still having the same problem :evil: The sim is a 3g sim but t-mobile says that does'nt make a difference should be able to use in a non 3g phone? Is that True??
Put my orange or vodafone sim's in and connect to their networks no probs.
Anyone any suggestions please? :wink:
Try it on other non 3G phone? or try it at different geographic location
Thanks for your suggestion hanmin. Have tried different location but still the same. tried in another non 3 g phone and had the same. Have signed up on an o2 payg chip and no probs and have also now tried an orange 3g chip and that worked too. Now in dispute with t mobile as the chip is now playing up in my mda pro too and has been for a while (not a faulty pro after all maybe!)
Wished never switched to t mobile as always been an orange user!! why oh why!! :roll:
Have the same problem as you but on Virgin MObile UK. Am thinking of changing providers. Just moved from australia and brought my o2 atom with me.
Just to confirm, you've tested with vodaphone and o2 SIM and both worked fine?
Hi tristrem21 sorry have'nt looked on xda developers for a while! so did'nt notice your question regarding service providers. Yes have tried it on o2 and Vodafone and the sims work fine. It will also work well on Orange too.
same problem, bump for solutions
anyone though of anything yet?
thanks for the tip lob. have switched to o2. works fine now. cheers

I have a US T-Mobile PPC Phone device and I've recently moved to Hungary. Westel is my provider here in Hungary. I was hoping that everything would work the same here by only using a new SIM. My phone works fine, but GPRS doesn't work at all. It tries to dial the connect and then drops before the connection is made.
The Westel service folks said that my phone won't work here in Hungary because it has a different "software" version (I think they mean ROM). While this makes some sense, my phone worked fine here using my US T-Mobile SIM on the Westel network. It just doesn't work with a Westel SIM.
Can I or should I try to get a Qtek ROM for my phone? Is there something else I should try?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

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.
Hi,
I have been given a sim free HTC Tytn and want to use it with UK Vodafone. I currently have an ex-Orange SPV M2000 which i unlocked and it has been working fine with my Vodafone sim. With my M2000 i can make calls and browse the internet at the same time, but with the new Tytn i cannot do this
Is there a fix, should i upgrade it to the latest version or perhaps try and flash it with the V1605 Vodafone flash??
Advice really appreicated from one of the many knowledgeable people on here please,
Cheers
Here, use the Vodafone UK CAB

Hi, Thanks for your help so far,
I have installed the HTC UK Settings .CAB file from the helpful post below
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
I can now access internet using my Orange contract sim card (which has GPRS activated) although if i am on the telephone i cannot go to browse without ending the telephone call.
my Vodafone contract sim needs updating so is not available for GPRS, but i presume this will be exactly the same.
Is it IMPOSSIBLE to use Internet browsing whilst making a telephone call??
All help appreciated, Many Thanks
For simultaneous voice and data you must be on a 3G/UMTS network with a SIM card supprting 3G. If you are on a GSM network it is not possible.
Ok, so my problem lies solely with the sim cards?
If both Sim cards were upgraded by the Network to 3g sim cards, The UK settings i have installed would allow my sim free Tytn to work as required?
More Info:
I have just spoken to Orange customer services and i do have a 3G sim card and it is active, is there anything i should be altering in the settings menu or anything other files that need to be flashed or installed onto the phone?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge - hope one of you experts can help!
Thank you
Can anyone help me pleasse????
are you in a 3g area? have you tried the sim in a known working phone? have you looked at the wiki or done a search on the forum?
Hi all...
I recently picked up a cheap UK Orange SPV M600 (G4 Model) from eBay, and I've been able to follow all the instructions on here to try a few different ROMs already
The problem I have is that everything works perfectly, except for the phone!
It was (obviously) originally on Orange, but I used LokiWiz to get the SIM unlock code, and then entered that successfully with an O2 SIM in the phone... but now it won't work with any SIM apart from a Greek Vodafone one which I had lying around.
I've tried various Orange and O2 SIMS, and none of them work apart from the Greek Vodafone one
All the SIMs I've tried are recognised by the SIM Manager tool, and I can view and edit the sim contacts etc... but all I get for the phone signal is "searching...", and it never locks on to O2 or Orange... only Vodafone.
Any ideas or suggestions please?
[edit]Just realised that I didn't say i HAVE already tried all of the different radio roms available on here, and none make any difference
Another question?
OK - no replies to my first post, so I guess nobody has any suggestions, but I've done a little more reading myself and I now wonder if the M600 has been previously reported as stolen or lost and is now network blocked by it's IMEI??
As far as I can tell, O2 and Orange will refuse to connect an IMEI blocked phone to the network at all, while Vodafone will allow it to connect, but won't allow you to make or receive calls... which does seem to be what's happening with my old Greek vodafone SIM installed.
Can anyone confirm if my understanding of IMEI blocking is correct, and can anyone tell me how I can find out if a specific IMEI is on the UK blocked list please?
As I said, I bought this through eBay recently, so maybe I could still get my money back if it's been stolen and then sold on through eBay, but I guess I'd need to know that's definitely what's happened before I could try that, so ANY help would be much appreciated.
Bad netiquette to reply to my own OP I know, but I thought that would be better than just editing my original... sorry if anyone gets annoyed at that.
Bit of a long shot, is there anybody here using a Hero on the Meteor Ireland network ?
Mine is unlocked and I'm with Vodafone, I've tried an O2 sim and that works fine, a friend was interested in buying the phone, when I tried the sim it recognises the sim but comes up as no service.
I've trawled the net and seen numerous posts on the problem but there seems to be none where it's been resolved, well apart from switching to 2g only.
I was wondering if there is anyone out there that is using one on Meteor, if they could tell me what radio they are using.
Cheers
