Hi, recently bought this on eBay - doesn't seem to have any orange addons on the phone so I'm assuming it's been reset to someting else (although I have no idea how to check this).
The problem I'm having is regardless of sim i receive a "no network" message and the phone is unable to find any networks in the UK or in Norway(where I am currently on business)...
-how do I identify whether or not theres a way to make the phone see a network over here (or in the UK for that matter)??!
Any help greatly appreciated!
Terry
Sounds like the phone is broken or stolen (& got the imie blocked). For the stolen option go to an Orange shop & have them check the imei.
Cheers, M

My XDA 1 phone has stopped working - no signal - can't phone - or internet or anything. It still connects to the emergency police number though - everything else works fine on the XDA. (It has ppc mobile 2002 on it.) Any ideas how to fix it?
Does this sometimes happen?
Is it the end of my device?
I live in Holland - it worked fine. I took it to England - it worked fine - it switched over to the English phone networks etc. I bought it back to Holland and it stopped working!
tried another sim in it or tried the sim in another phone ?
Did you change the network selection method?
Is it / was it set to Manual or Automatic?
If you choose a manual selectiom method and get it to scan, does it find networks?
You have to provide more info, I'm afraid.

PS - you might get more help if you'd posted it in the Wallaby section instead of in General.
I have used the sim card from my "non-working" xda1 in another phone and it works. I have used a sim card from another phone which I know works, in my ."non-working" xda1 and it won't work .
I have set my xda1 to manual configeration, and it finds networks, it says available networks: KPN and Libertel, (I am in Holland). So I guess there must be a signal to and from my xda1. (Is that right?)
It doesn't give "telfort" as an available network. which is my simcard network. The xda1 says it is o2 uk all the time. Is it possible it still thinks I'm in the Uk and doesn't switch over to Dutch networks?
I'm in over my head with this...what should I do?.
Go to settings/phone, choose "network" then choose "find network", this should give a list of available service providers, once you have found the one you need, choose it, if it is already set for automatic it should have already done this. If this doesnt work then it would appear to be a blocked phone, is there any reason for it to become blocked? I bought 2 xda phones and both became blocked because people had claimed on insurance, once they pay up they block the imei so it cannot be used again.

Mine also, I live in the philippines, still I don't get any signal but before I upgrade it I have everything...pls help us...
For background, my device is a c500 (typhoon) and I've tried various roms (but I'm using the 6.1 one atm). I didn't have this problem with the stock ROM.
I find that, although the phone works and I can recieve text messages, I can't send them because the "text message service center" field is empty and if I enter anything in the box, it clears as soon as I leave the screen.
Also, trying to use the SIM manager (for contacts etc) returns the message "invalid or missing sim".
To me, this seems to be a semi-incompatible sim card. I've seen other phones with the same issue (eg here) so I don't think it's a specific phone/ROM issue. I've tried SDKCerts.cab and using a cab to install the network settings, neither worked.
Has anyone seen/fixed this before? Thanks.
have you tried another sim?
not sure about your operator but mine always send me a new sim if i so request for free
Hmm. I tried an O2 sim - works fine. Maybe it's because my sim is 3G (and the phone isn't)?
Here's a similar thread on modaco that comes to the same conclusion. If anyone else has the same problem, this is probably the solution.
just trying my luck, is there another solution to this issue yet, orange uk wont send me a 2g sim for anything so im stuck
UPDATE:
For information orange wont send me a 3g sim as the handset i should have is a 3g phone so they dont want to know
unfortunately I cant keep the phone as its no good to me
my old friend the tornado is to be replaced by a kaiser. a year ago i did all the unlock and supercid procedures and worked with several rom versions and tried also another network - my tornado was a vodafone vda II once. i've been very happy with it, but i like to have those additional features of a wm professional device.
unfortunately i experianced a problem - the new sim card from hutchinson is not accepted by my dear old device. the error message is: "The SIM card is missing or is not valid. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider supports it."
i checked with spv-Services and this reports the phone unlocked. well - and my wife is waiting for the phone - i'm sure most of you know how demanding girls can get when it comes to a new cell phone.
so please, if anyone experianced this issue and is able to provide a solution - it would be great!!!
thanx!
I'm sorry for this, but only metod for repair you telephon is here:

Is not a reclam(comercial),I happened to the same thing...unfortunately.
No other method has not worked...
flame99,
Just go to your service provider office and ask to change your SIM card for old type. There was a same problem with my HTC StarTrek and Beeline service provider.

Hi Rudegar
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I have done that, but when i want to use the internet, it says it cant find the correct settings for o2 network, as i said the wifi side is not a problem, what else can i do please.
you need to enter the o2 gprs apn and username and password if those are used
settings->connections->connections and alter the my isp settings or whatever the
name is in you device
I don't suppose you would know those settings by any chance.

Hi guys!
I just bought an unlocked gold S6 (32gb) and tested my T-mobile sim on it.
It didn't worked, I can only make calls and receive text messages. The sim status says that it is on service, but disconnected from the network, so I can't use my data. Can anyone help me with this? My data is on, and the phone is "international use only" (and I think it's what I need to fix but I don't know how). I tried everything from restarting it, factory reset, and called t-mobile support (they didn't helped at all), please help. My device isn't rooted or any of that, but if need to I will.
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like you maybe have to enter correct apn settings into phone?
