xda Exec.......

Yep, am using on a UK XDA IIi, and works great over wi-fi.
Have tested skype-out, whichs works, but apparantly the other person (on a normal phonr) hears an echo of themselves - it was fine at my end.
Overall, I'm very impressed.

Using the XDA in Italy

Work keeps me in Italy three weeks out of four and I wondered if anybody has experience of using the XDA there. In the UK I use O2 but do not want the cost of O2 abroad for email and internet.
I have a Vodafone Italian pay as you go phone sim and the xda is unlocked but do not know the settings. Any ideas ?

Crackberry for HTC Kaiser / T-Mobile Vario III

I just moved from HTC Hermes to HTC Kaiser (T-Mobile Vario III). I used a Crackberry ROM on the Hermes to receive my business mail. Is there a Crackberry ROM for the Kaiser available as well?
Thanks....
well some people got it working.
I'm running bbconnect 4 no bother - no need for a "special" rom
having said that wouldn't mind a rom that let me run bbconnect v2.x
I use bbconnect 2.1.1.2.54. The 4.xx versions are not working (t-mobile Germany). The 2.xx versions checks the operation system version and disconnects if its running on WM6.

Try the 4.0.0.92 version, it works perfectly.
You can find it here :

Tanks janmy;
I tried, but it seems, that all 4.X versions are not working within the German T-Mobile network.

xda Orbit 2, will it work on 3 UK Network (PAYG)

I am wanting to run one of these with a PAYG sim on 3UK Network, to benefit from the faster HSDPA broadband access via the phone and via a USB lead to a laptop (using the Orbit 2 as a modem). Is this likely to work OK? Anyone already doing this right now?
Also will the Orbit 2 work well with Skype, as my orbit 1 is poor and the audio breaks up (even when connected to 4mbit wifi connection). I hope the Orbit 2 has cured this problem.
I would appreciate comments on the above. Thanks a lot. Tony
I just came back from holiday in UK. My German Orbit2 used for roaming either O2 UK Network or TMobile and 3G worked fine on both networks. Is it that, what you were asking for?
About Skype I don't know anything, sorry.
Thanks for the reply, but no not exactly what I am looking for. I want to use the Orbit 2 on 3UK, which is another network (unless 3UK uses someone elses network). The 3UK Network is a new network provider in the UK.....
I basically want to know if the Orbit2 will work on 3UK with a PAYG sim (NOT ON A CONTRACT) for HSDPA internet access and to use as a normal phone.
I currently have an Orbit 1 on Orange PAYG, but want to use HSDPA (faster internet access with the Orbit 2), I also want to be able to use Skype as well using HSDPA.
Thanks anyway for the reply.
If you don't get help here, you should call the provider and ask.
Because I wanted to use my Orbit2 with a prepaid SIM of O2 UK with mobile internet. And they said, I can only use it for making calls and texts, not for internet. (They weren't able to provide internet settings for the device if not in a contract.) So I was able to use a prepaid SIM but only for calls and texts.
Anyway, good luck.
3 uk network
I think I understand what you're asking.
3 will not assist you because the Orbit 2 is not an 'approved' phone for 3's network.
However, there is a cab file that permits you to spoof 3's network that you are using a Nokia N95 which is an approved phone.
I know it works because we did this for a work colleague that was sick of his Nokia and went and bought a touch cruise and we installed the necessary file.
He's generally happy with the result but does report the occasional lag on 3's network.
If you want to know more and find a link to the file I suggest you read this thread:

Best of luck and let us know how you get on.
Lom
Thanks a lot!!!!
It looks like you have sorted my problems... I will be getting the Orbit 2 in a couple of days and I will let you know how I get on. Thanks once again Lom.
ps. Any idea what the URL is for planet3 on the mobile???
Regards Tony
planet 3
Tony,
I'm not a 3 customer, but the thread I suggested you read claims this is the address for planet 3:

Does slingplayer work for anyone on the nexus s.

Can anyone let me know if slingplayer works on the nexus s.
Yes, it works very well, and I'm streaming from my Slingbox Classic which is not officially supported (both wifi and 3G).
Working great for me as well.
Alright thanks guys i have a evo 4g and im running CM7 so wanted to know if its a gingerbread issue or cm7 issue
Used to work great on my hero, over wifi and 3G.
Then when i got my NS, it was only working when i was on the same wifi network as my slingbox. I uninstalled it and now it has disappeared from the market..... I paid £20 for it and now its gone......WTF!
If you're running 2.3.2, it's probably a protected app. It should reappear once Google adds the new OS version to its market system.
Working in full swing again ) panic over =P
I can only get it to work on my wifi at home but nothing on my 3g network any ideas guys or gals? thanks ping33tx
Nexus S-I9020T
ROM-infin1y0.1.1.
Baseband-I9020XXKB3
Kernel-netarchy's
Help please
Im also experiencing problem using slingplayer on my Nexus S, its streams ok on wifi but when Im on 3G it becomes very choppy which it unwatchable.
I used it back to my HD2 using the same 3G network and it works with out a problem, but when I use it to the Nexus S its just goes really choppy and lags.
Hopefully someone has a fix to this, thanks in advance.
I had same problem only worked on my wifi network..I just reset slingbox and did the whole setup over..but this time I manually connected to my router ..now works like a charm..hope that helps..!!!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
What do you mean manually connected to the router? My slingbox is connected to my wireless router and my 2 other android phones on Rogers wireless and Bell network works flawlessly on this set up. Its only my AWS Nexus S on Mobilicity is having this problem. All of my 3 lines are on unlimited data plan.

Does Skype finally work on the Sensation?

Does Skype finally support the front facing camera on the sensation?
It's been supported for a loong time
I'm using skype on my sensation for the time it is supported.
It is working fine. But in some cases I need wifi. It is not really working with HSDPA for me. :-(
Only works on WiFi in the UK, but it has been working fine for months

Hi,
I beg to differ.
My has been working with video on both wifi and mobile network.
I've not tried it but last time I did Vodafone didn't allow it. Don't use it much tbh
