Samsung i620 - i620V - Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other

Hi, I won the i620V from vodafone Italy, can someone tell me if in the i620, no brand, is a wifi enabled?
There is somewere a no brand rom to be downloaded?
Thanks

I don't think the brand has any hardware-difference so my guess is that the I620 has no wifi

ye, only choice is micro sd wi-fi card which is quite useless in my opinion...at least with this phone. Poor reception and also quite a battery killer even when you are using the extended battery.

Dual SIM cards: do they drain battery?

Hi folks!
What is your experience with dual SIM cards?
The SIM-Toolkit featured card is said to halve standby time.
This guy says, they don't: http://stores.ebay.de/multi-sim (emailed him)
The non-SIM-Toolkit card (switches SIM card via power off/on cycle or flight mode on/off) is said to not affect battery life.
But: There are many hardware revisions like 3rd generation, 4th, ... 10th generation and I guess they may differ in power consumption.
Thanks!
Grüß Gott!
I've been using a digital (= with STK) DualSIM for five months now and neither my Wizard nor my Nokia 9500 have sustained any appreciable loss of standby time.
But be aware, that none of the digital DualSIM adaptors work in 3G (= UMTS) mobiles!
regards,
Danke.
Someone reseller just told me, battery drain is caused by some stupid firmware on certain phones, not by the adapter.
My MPX220 seems to work well
From memory, I understand that some STK (Sim ToolKit) based dual sims could drain battery. Don't see how... but I use a power on/off switcher, which seems fine to me. Can't see how it works differently to a normal sim.

You only can use one at a time, you have a STK application to switch between SIMs, you have to cut the SIMs to put them inside the adapter.

I have also a non digital dual sim adapter, battery consuming is on the same level as without a dual sim adapter
http://www.hot-wire-telekom.de/inde...HW130010&uid=24e81e5fcfb3c8f97a3e4817e4a6330d
I have these for sale at £13 delivered anywhere in UK.
If interested e-mail me at [email protected]
Check my threads on the universal and orbit forums and you will know I am legitimate.
I also sell application cd's for this device for £6 delivered.
The problem with these dual SIM adaptors is that none so far are really made for 3G SIM cards. I know some 3G SIM cards work. Can people state where and what network they are on???
I personally was looking for one that you dont have to cut the SIMs... The Trinity seems to have a bit of space between and the phone so one fits easily. I dont mind if they dont have the STK application or if I have to switch the phone off each time to switch SIM...
Is anyone aware of any?

I'm using the same ANALOG-Dual-SIM-Adapter from Hot-Wire-Telekom with my Trinity!
You switch between SIM's by using the HTC-Comm-Application (switching Flight-mode ON/OFF)
Procedure: Switch Flight-Mode ON - wait 10-15 seconds - Switch Flight-Mode OFF
Works like a charm, but once in a while I get a SIM-error, but after repeating the switching-procedure everything works fine again. So no problem at all.
Highly recommended!
Also be aware of the fact that DIGITAL adapters (switch via SIM-Application-Tool) WONT work with UMTS-SIM's!!!!
Took me a long time (and 30 bucks) to realize this.
My Analog-adapter works fine so far with Hutchinson 3G Austria ("THREE" is an UMTS-only Provider) and Telering Austria (GSM-Only Provider).
Thanks for the info but you have to cut SIMs from:
http://www.hot-wire-telekom.de/inde...HW130010&uid=24e81e5fcfb3c8f97a3e4817e4a6330d
Is there a non-cut solution? I have cut in the past just would prefer not to
Plus must be a tight fit the Dual Sim Adaptor in the Trinity SIM slot... isnt it?

Only possible non-cut solution is sim emulator. Silvercard (SIMEmu 6.16i firmware) based one works perfectly on all my devices.
It supports up to 10 (or even more - don't remember) sim's and sized as an ordinary sim card. Silvercard itself is priced about 10$.
That were advantages. Drawbacks are:
You need a smartcard programmer (priced ~50$ but if you have some electronics and soldering experience you can diy in a hour).
3G SIMs are not supported at all.
Some 2G SIMs could not be copied to emulator too.
Analog 3G supported dual sim card adaptor?
Hi,
I use the 12th generation Digital dual sim card adaptor which works like a charm (with a 3G & 2G sim cards with cutting) but the only thing is that it drains the battery.
I this german analog dual sim adaptor supporting the 3G?
Is there any other producers or any links?
Thanks
Finally a good solution!
I've used the digital dual sim card adaptor (12th generation) which drains a lot of battery.
I purchased from freeyourmobile.com the power on/off dual sim card holder which works great with 3G cards. The battery does not drain any longer!!
This is a solution where u have to cut the original sims of course
Wow, I am very happy

Sim Switcher on Trinity
Hi guys...
I'm about to get a Trinity PDA and was wondering if it was possible to use a twin-sim adapter on it, this is how I came across your forum.
If I believe what I read it works fine, I was just wondering if the only way to operate it was to switch on and off the flight mode, or if a piece of software such as SimSwitcher (http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=19046) could help.
Thanks for answering
hi I supply the dual sim for the trinity
price: £13 delivered anywhere in UK
e-mail [email protected]
or send direct payment via paypal to [email protected]
Hi,
No need to power off/on the HTC. Flight mode off/on is enough to change the network. You can also use sim switcher which works great.!!! No battery drain anymore!!!
Thanks for answering. I've purchased the thing and can say it's the best device I've had by far !
About Sim Switcher, can you tell me which simcard works with it ?
Thanks again

Dual sim

Anyone know if dual sim adapter work on polaris? I have one on my glorious old Qtek 9090 switching radio simply starting and stopping flight mode. Can i made the same thing?
Ciao.
I've tried a 20th generation dual sime but doesn't work.
I ordered a simore dual sim silver, i'll get back to you when i've tested it.
Thanks seyo23. I'll wait notice!
My old dual sim holder (6th generation I guess) worked the first time I insert in my new Cruise. After few software installing (phone alarm, Agenda fusion, s2u2) It don't work well more! One operator work only after a soft reset! Any ideas? Or what kind of dual sim adapter work surely for cruise? Ciao
I bought a simore dual sim silver.
It works perfectly, but it drain a bit the battery, i think i can run my cruise 2 days without recharging (3G off, Bluetooth off, etc...)
Few phones, sms, direct push activated
Without the simore, i think it can last for 3 days.
Simore is a bit expensive but it's the only one who works correctly (3G) as far as i know.
Hope this could help you.
Thank seyo, some link to buy it?
It's here : http://www.simore.ch/
I don't make any pub and i don't work for them
Thanks a lot seyo23! Have you tried this adapter with phone alarm (you have the possibility of switching profile selecting cicle radio, my old adapter worked well with this soft and this automatize all needs...). Ciao
Guys, with this module you can have 2 different carriers activated at all times ?
my gf has different carrier than me and i want a different card to be able to talk with her limitless all the time.
Please someone specify how it works, i am interested a lot.
Only one active, switching fly mode on and off you can change carrier.
Hope this help you sedde. Ciao
I also tried a 20th generation adaptor and it works perfectly. Provider is also displayed correctly. Try to tape the lower 2 contacts at the sim holder, because Polaris has 8, but common sims and also adaptors only need 6. I also turned UMTS off, but i think there's no need to. It's a digital one with stk menu, can found at ebay for about 10€. Will report power consumption in a few days.
Mobile: german o² XDA Orbit 2 (Polaris)
Radiorom: Murata
Which one??

Sey023, could you tell us which dual sim card you use? The dual sim card Silver 1 or 2? They are different.
Regards,
Raymond
Be careful: If you want to use 3G there is no working digital dual sim adapter in the market at the moment (in fact, I haven't heard of one - even the Simore can't do that). Only the ananlogue adapters are capable of this feature so far.

[Q] Dell Venue 8 Pro - wwan card locked to O2

Dear all
Couldn't find a DV8P forum section as yet.
I have the wwan (3G/HSDPA) version of the DV8P (brilliant device) but Dell have locked it to o2 and I use ee.
Does anyone know how I can remove the carrier lock given that it is not tied to carrier contract. Dell have said they don't knowhow too and have never had a request before???
The wwan card is a sierra wireless card which is branded as the Dell Wireless 5570e HSPA+ (42Mbps) Mobile Broadband Card.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Matthew
Hi,
I don't have DVP8, but I'm a little bit familiar with how most laptops wireless card works. (The WWAN card used on Dell VP8 is the same one used on Precision/Latitude Laptop)
Typically those WWAN cards (Especially GSM with simcard slot) are not locked, but the provided windows software does not support provider other the one it's bundled to (in this case O2),
So are you sure if your card is really locked?
I'd try the Connection Manager program that comes with the Latitude series http://www.dell.com/support/drivers...leId=3336416242&languageCode=en&categoryId=CM. You might need to bypass the model check in order for it to install.
Side question, is the DVP8 WWAN card removable by user? I'm curious whether the Wifi model can be upgraded to 3g enabled.

Assuming that Dell doesn't have different hardware layouts for different countries... my US Wifi module can't be 3g enabled... or at least, not without some serious soldering skills.
You can see where the slot would be, if it was soldered on.
Also, I don't know for sure, but it looks like it might be an m.2 slot instead of the mini pcie standard. Or the WWAN module might be soldered directly onto the mainboard, although there seems to be a spot to for a screw to hold the module in, so...
Now if Dell would only release the WWAN US version tablet... feels like I've been waiting forever.

You might also want to try setting up a dial up connection using the correct settings for your ISP, if a connection manager for your cellular provider doesn't exist. As WhizzWr said, the only locks on laptop cards are usually software based, or maybe profile/firmware based (such as Gobi cards that support multiple networks with different profiles).
I see. So apart from the lack of sim card slot, no place to add any expansion card, either.
I just googled a bit and some rep from Dell forum seems to confirm our finding: Wifi model is not upgradeable to 3G/LTE.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/4586/p/19528733/20480210.aspx#20480210
That's too bad but considering the price difference between WIfi and 3G model, I'm okay with tethering
Thanks WhizzWR and Jackfrost7
It was a software thing.
It would only show telefonica as the available connection.
Uninstalled the driver and re-installed and it suddenly started showing an ee connection; took a few connection attempts before it seemed to work and now no more tethering!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Glad you sorted it out!:thumbup:
Did you get the DVP8 direct from Dell UK? Mind giving us some price figure?
Yes - it was strange as I had been looking at it for ages on the 'for work' area but it had a lead time towards the end of March but suddenly dropped to 2 days so I went for it.
The price with no extras was:
Device £319
Shipping £5
VAT £64.80
Total £388.80
Not sure if the offer is still on at the moment it was when I ordered on the 24th Jan.
Ah thanks, I also have checked the Dell UK business website, the offer is still going on.
Aside from the fact I'm not in UK, I think extra £100 for WWAN card is a bit steep
So I planned to get a wifi only model soon.
But I also think DVP8 with always on internet is damn sweet.
I must admit the extra form the card is a little steep but having used tethering on my htc one for a couple of days till you helped me work out my issue drove me mad as it is nigh on impossible to cope with calls for work, tethering and general phone use without additional phone charges throughout the day.
It is a cost benefit question though.
It really is a brilliant tablet - was a little unsure about windows tablets, having memories of old atom netbook performance, but even have visual studio working on it not much slower than my i5 laptop.

Question SAMSUNG S22 ULTRA

Hello,
i had small software update August 29,
Galaxy S22 Ultra (SM-S908B),
since then i keep loosing mobile data and wifi signal.
I got new Sim card and I did factory reset, but issues are still here. Turning off/on airplane mode or restarting the phone doesn't help. I have normal data like 5 min and then it just freeze all signal reception . I live in the city with great signal coverage. What should I do?
But what's the coverage like where you live? Does it get better as you move around? If the coverage is good then contact Samsung support so they can maybe check the phone further
Coverige

Coverage is great here. I took out my sim card today and was only connected to wifi, connection is better.
With inserted sim both wifi and mobile data reception is awful.
I was thinking to switch to eSim..
I recommend that you contact Samsung support as your phone is under warranty for 1 year. They are very good at diagnosing problems.
Hi, you mean 5G coverage? I've read that 5G antenna failure is known to happen in this phone, so you should bring the phone to Samsung so they can replace it, specially if you are under warranty. I don't see why you see a relation between the SIM and the coverage, probably it has more to do with the status of the antenna.
The problem is with both data connection, mobile and wifi.. I tried everything coz I want to avoid sending my new phone to service..

Samsung has an 800 support number you can contact 1st and they will try and diagnose your issue before sending it in. I've found they are pretty good at diagnosing issues over the phone.

Well I notice that if I take out Sim card from my phone that wifi has weak but stable connection.. With inserted sim card both wifi and mobile data connection are super weak and unstable. So basically I have this expensive with no possibility to use for normal calls
It's quite the same problem for me actually on my S908B which is on the latest September update (AVI3)
I live in a quite big city in France and my signal is quite bad, like 1 or 2 signal bars on 4G+ (i desactivate 5G as it drain too much the battery in my opinion).
Sometimes i feel like Wifi signal struggle as well at home... i don't know where this is coming from, but it's annoying me. I didn"t pay attention on when it's started to get bad signal, but it's been a while now i think
