Hi folks!
I have bought a Pannon sim card with 3g internet access(Pannon is the 3rd carrier in hungary like vodafone and tmobile). My uni just keep searching for network after i enter the PIN. Its fully unlocked and supercid. Currently using a wm6 rom. The same uni works with the other 2 carriers sim card and the Pannon sim card also works in other mobile phone. I have noticed that in the network wizard there are no Pannon network under hungary panel.(But also no vodafone and uni works with vodafone card).
Is there anything that i can do with this? I am very dissappointed, now i have a 3g acces and cant use even direct push.
There are htc touch-s out there, i think i have seen them work in pannon network, cant some of you dev guys make uni to connect that network too?
Hello everyone. I recently moved to Germany from the US and had my Fuze SIM unlocked. Well today I went to a T-mobile kiosk and the rep told me that I can use the phone for regular phone service with no problems but he didn't think that the US spec Fuze would work on the Internet with their data plan? Does anyone know if this is true? Why would it not work? Does T-mobile in Germany use a different band for Internet that the US Fuze doesn't support? Any information that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Murnutz

for normal gsm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
for umts (3g)
and of cause if you got a non gsm device like a simcardless cmda phone == nowhere
itll work fine for phone and data up to 2g. if you want 3g check if it can do international bands or just us ones.
i sent my friend a x7510 on o2 from uk its got a custom rom and its unlocked.
i have used the following networks tmobile,3network,vectone and o2.those who live in uk would know that 3network can be a pain because their sims dont work in all phones.
my friend is telling me his sim dosent work.is the x7510 of uk different to the x7510 in usa.or is it somthing to do with quad or tri band.

The X7510/Flint will work under GSM on T-Mobile USA but not over 3G/HSPA. T-Mobile uses a non-standard transmission frequency in USA of 1700/2100 UMTS, but the X7510 only has 1900/2100 UMTS
It will still work on GSM but may need to be manually constrained to GSM under Phone/Settings/Band. Phone calls should be OK, but data will only be possible at GSM speeds (up to 100kbps if Edge is available or about 30-40kbps for basic GSM)
thanks, neilM.
adamo86, enjoy the touch pro 2 when it comes.
Hiya,
I live in the UK and am on o2. I was wondering if I was to purchase a phone from America which says CDMA network (according to GSM arena), would I be able to get a signal in the UK? Would I get HSDPA-speeds for my internet browsing/downloading?
The phone I was particularly interested in is the Moto Droid 2.
Is the GSM/CDMA technology dependent on the radio? And if so, is it a case of simply updating the radio to suit the UK conditions?
Kind regards.
CDMA is a dying old technology only used in USA and just few countries more, the rest of the world uses GSM so go for that one!
But the phone I am looking at only has CDMA. So would I be knackered if I got it for use in the UK? That is what I am asking.
I don´t know the meaning of knackered and don´t think that any UK provider uses CDMA, consult your cell provider and most likely will be a GSM device
Thank you. Knackered means broken, tired or messed up. The latter in this case.
If you currently have a SIM card, you need GSM.
CDMA does NOT use SIM cards, so it won't work on a network that does.
That's something I did not know. And has completely enlightened me. Guess I'll wait for the Milestone 2 instead.
Thank you very much everyone.
Hey guys,
So I have the Z3 Dual, but where I live, we only get 3G network and no GSM, which brings me to my question:
Is anyone working towards a hack to allow my device to run BOTH my Telstra SIM cards in LTE mode without one reverting to GSM?
Thanks in advance,
Phil
Really? No gsm signal or 2g. I think 2g structures are the most basic one that every carrier Has. BecAuse if 3g becomes congested, the subscriber can fall back to 2g. Anyway i guess no hack is on going because of the rooting issues with this plus i think it's a hardware limitation. 2 simcards cannot use 1 modem (the 3g/4g) because that would tax a lot of battery power

There are 2 radios in the phone I'm suspecting, since both SIM's run different IMEI numbers (1 per radio) if you check in About Phone/Status and check the 2 SIMs.
So I can't see why this is a limitation.... renders the phone worthless for what I wanted it for (Work sim and Personal sim),
And yes, where I live, there has never been GSM, it was CDMA before the towers were upgraded to 3G (Central Wheatbelt is Western Australia).

When you use the first SIM with LTE the second has no signal?
I can't understand if the second sim limit is only for connection or also for 3G bands.
I mean: you can still use the second line on a 3G network only for calls and SMS without using data connection or not? The second line is limited on 2G bands?
thanks for answers I ordered a Z3 Dual 2 days ago

Correct, because the second sim drops down to GSM, which we don't have in rural Western Australia. And vice versa, set the second SIM to LTE/WCDMA and the first SIM drops down to GSM. Meaning, you cannot run 2 SIM's side-by-side unless you live in an area that has GSM/2G still.

So, you choose either SIM as your data sim. Whichever you choose, that sim runs in LTE mode and the other SIM is used for calls/sms only.
SMS and phone apps both have 2 send buttons labelled 1 and 2, so you can send messages or make calls from either SIM at the press of a button. But only 1 SIM has data active, that is the SIM running in LTE mode.
I have messaged Sony Mobile Developers regarding this, the reply was:

Thanks for infos!
That's weird! If I live in a place with only 2G or only 3G network I cannot use 2 sim cards!
But I remember reading on online user manual that the 2 sims network settings are separated, right? If you force both on the right frequency?
In a few days I'll receive the phone and I'll help you with some tests

Correct, both sims wont run on 3G at the same time..
Both sims WILL run on 2G at the same time though (GSM).
