Hi all,
Sorry if this seems a dull question but ........
I have an XDA1 and wonder whether I can use it on the 3G network? If not, how about the XDAII?
My present phone is a Motorola A920 using the 3G network but I'd got used to my XDA and prefer it!
My XDA1 has been unlocked.
Many thanks
John
Have you found out any news about using the 3G network on the XDA or XDA II? I have an XDA II and would find it intresting if there was software update or somthing like that
The XDA1 and XDA2 does not work on 3G networks (UMTS) as the frequency is different and the transceiver in the 1 & 2 does not support this.
There is though a new XDA3 on the market which supports 3G, but I dont know where it is available.
I think you will find that a 3G XDA has not been released as yet. for information on XDA III (name may cause confusion in O2 camp, re 2nd article) see:
http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-blue-angel-en.shtml
http://techdigestuk.typepad.com/tech_digest/2004/07/xda3_or_is_that.html
my xda works on a 3 sim, but takes about a minute to find network. it roams to o2. can't sms.
when ever 3g phones cant reach a utms signal it just use gsm of cause only for talk
so there should be no problems using a 3g sim since it will just work as a normal gsm sim in a non utms phone
but i'm prettty sure that they dont offer grps roaming
software can never make a xda1-3 or any other non utms phone a utms phone just like an old 56K modem cant be software upgraded to a cabel modem
I would love to have 3G Network. Their data connection is as fast as 144kbps DSL speed. That's much faster than GSM network.
I'm playing in the field of 32kbps with GSM network. Blah, you call that the speed of DSL as they say? Right. :roll:
I have an XDA 1 which works just fine with my 3 sim BUT I cannot send SMS only receive, don't know why and haven't found anyone on this forum who can explain why.
SIM Manager doesnt work either, just says SIM is busy. Try again in 5 seconds but I could wait a month of Sundays and the SIM is still busy.
messing around with my xda1 last night, which has an o2 and a 3 sim in it. had the 3 sim selected, made a new work connection called Three, apn: three.co.uk, username: netservices. pressed connect AND IT DID!! BUT tried to access web and then wap, NO JOY. all other settings are for o2 payandgo online. when i had 3 sim in 3 phone i DIDN'T have to be in a 3g area to access all 3 services. any ideas if i can get any transfer going through xda? plus my new 3sim has arrived, NOT putting that in just yet!!!
3g or UTMS is not supported in many places and when you get out of their range their just do gsm and grps
there should not be a problem getting the services of 3g to work but you dont get the speed because you are not getting utms signal just be having sim it's on a different set of frequencies
there are CF and maybe SD cards out there which act as utms modems which can give a pda a nice internet speed boost though
yeah i know i won't get any extra speed, but it did connect to GPRS via the 3 sim, yes i know it was roaming to o2, the thing is i still want to see what i can get it to do. if i could get it to view FULL internet even at GPRS speeds, for NO charge then that would be good. my 3 package is 3togo, no monthly fee, no free mins, you only pay for what you use,you get a bill later.
You weren't technically roaming with o2.
Three uses o2 as a carrier network for 2.5G communications.
I've tried a Three SIM in my XDA II with similar results to you. However, i've noticed that in the latest XDA II o2 ROM upgrade, they install video calling applications.
I'll keep you posted - I work for Three so I know the details

Also, it could be a matter of smsc centre being incorrectly configured when the 3 sim is placed in the XDA device

Guys,
Don't keep your 3 usims in 2G handsets for very long. If 3 notice you are constantly roaming on o2 they *will* block the SIM.
Did anyone end up find out if you can actually sms with a Three sim in it ?

Nah. There's a video mms application and you can also download or stream short video clips but these are all gprs services. Video calling is a 3g only service and no xda device has the hardware/software for that yet.

Ok now i have the 750v, i have it unlocked and using my HSDPA enabled tmobile account. Anyone care to guess at how to enable HSDPA do you really think it needs a software upgrade or is there some way to tweak as i believe the vodafone tytn had hsdpa switched off too
Chris
TREO 750V WAS RELEASED WITHOUT HSDPA. HSDPA WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER MARCH 2007 WITH A NEW ROM
yes there is a tweak to enable hsdpa. search in the tytn forum for "sethsdpa" it is for the tytn but it works on my 750 also
if you enable hspda on treo 750v and your on voda network then you will not receive voice calls whilst using hspda in either push email or browsing.
same applies to any device using hspda on voda network unless your north of the borders apparently.
we are all waiting for voda network to be upgraded :-(
I have bought locked treo750 cingular, my question is if i managed to unlock it via any unlocking services described here in the forum, will it work normally on any other network other than cingular without any problems or there will be some restrictions especially regarding GPRS and 3G??
And if I faced problems with cingular after unlocking, is it possible to upgrade treo Vodafone ROM?
Thank you very much for your help.
18 views without reply, am I asking a selly question? or no one of the forum has any answer for my question!!.
no offense, but the answers to all of your questions are here and out there on Google, etc. The 750 is a GSM phone, and once unlocked, will work with other GSM SIM cards/service providers. GPRS and 3G availability will depend on the service provider; most all provide GPRS a few provide 3G service. you may have to configure your phone work with other provider's internet service
I have an unlocked 750V that I use with T-Mobile and Cingular (US providers). T-Mobile doesn't have 3G service, so it uses the GPRS/EDGE connection. Phone features work without issue. Cingular has 3G and the phone works well there, too. hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. You are right there is a lot of speakings about that here and on google, but what made me worry is the words of a guy working in cingular or something like that who told that cingular has customized the OS to be strictly perfect with their service in US, and so on, it may be not working well in my country, hence i searched the XDA-dev and treocentral, most of guys who unlocked their treo is suing t-mobile and they are in US, while in europe they have the 750v, so they don't need to unlock the cingular version, except, one who unlocked cingular one and used his orange SIM and claimed that he was unabale to cutomize the GPRS sittings to connect with orange SIM.
I hope that you have got my idea, and I am still worried. Now, my specific question to u as having an unlocked cingular tro750, is the connections paramaters in Start--> settings ---> connections --> connections the same as other PDAs, so, theorotically i can customize it to work with my vodavone SIM. Thank you very much for your help.
you should be able to configure/customize your GPRS settings without an issue...i don't know about the other guy...

Ok, thank you very much, i am waiting my device, and we will see.
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?
Hi All
My phone signal and 4G does not work despite changing to a new Sim card as advised by O2. I fear it is a problem with my phone but feel that it is just a change in the setting needed to enable 4G.
Currently, the preferred network type is 4g (preferred) /3g/2g. I had reinstalled O2 network settings as well. When I try to select 4g o2 network, I receive a message that it cannot connect to network, try again later. It defaults to 3g o2 but the signal is lost and I miss out calls and texts.
It is worth noting that there is no problem in my area as my brother is with o2 and he is getting 4g just fine. Plus, I have checked on O2 website and it appears fine.
Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Fred
