Treo 750v on 3 uk problem

Hi Guys, just want a bit of help. Last week I started to have problems with my Treo 750v. Had it for about 4 months and it was originally on Vodafone uk. I unlocked it since and upgraded to WM6. Im using Three UK and it was working fine. Suddenly I lost my signal and can't get my 3 sim to work. I installed different roms and radio roms and still not working.
I tried to use the 3 stage tero unlocking software and I couldnt get pass the 2nd stage, it always give me errors. (I have net framework 2 installed)
Im having a hard time looking for Roms and had no success in changing the radio rom.
I tried a vodafone sim and it got some signal but when I tried to call, it wouldn't let me. It just gave 3 beeps and then hanged up.
I dont know what to do anymore. Any advise is appreciated.

While it worked fine ware u able to use Three Features ig. Free Windows Live messenger, Mobile TV, Skype etc. did it all work as it shuld (integrated with three network price plans ?) r u on PayAsUGo ?

Yes but i never tried to watch tv on it. I was able to surf the internet and download my emails via pop 3. I'm using pay as you go with £5 internet monthly add on.
I have updated my radio rom and installed new rom and still cant get it to work again. Does anyone here who uses windows mobile device on three uk network experience any problems? I'm thinking of getting a new WM device again.

yes. What does it say?

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???

Tony,
I'm not a 3 customer, but the thread I suggested you read claims this is the address for planet 3:

WM6 Upgrade now No signal Radio bad?

I have tried several radio roms to try and fix the problem but I always get the icon looking for a signal never detects GPRS or any signal does this mean I have a bad radio? I have the PN Antenna,AFM50-000015,ACON where can I get one? Any help would be great!

Do you get normal phone coverage? If so, have you set up GPRS correctly for your network?

Keyboard for WM6
Dear XDA peeps any idea where i can download a i-phone like keyboard( directly on my ppc) that has all the new tweaks (pop up letter, skin...)
Looked all over but nothing.....
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Not sure if I have the GPRS settings correct, went through all of them and changed some things, let the device sit for hours but still no signal.. I'm lost

Does the SIM work in other cellphones?
Cuz I have a SIM here that's expired and all it does when popped into any phone is try search for signal which it doesn't find any of course.

Had same issue...
AT&T/Cingular USA primarily uses 850MHz signal; 1900MHz is concentrated in larger cities. However, T-Mobile uses 1900MHz...You may have to switch. I had the same problem and found T-Mobile as my solution. I Hope this helps...

ATT Fuze ROM Questions

All,
I currently have an unbranded/unlocked HTC Tilt that I imported from the UK when they first came out about a year ago, well before ATT started selling their version of the Tilt. Mine has the front camera, etc.
As I understand it, ATT must have made some sort of deal with HTC on the Raphael (Fuze) because the Touch Pro I bought (and have since returned) would not support all of the 3G bands here in the states. I could only get EDGE.
I really want to get the new Fuze, but I am concerned about the limitations ATT is going to introduce on the ROM of this device, and I wouldn't buy the ATT version if there was another way to get the device with the appropriate US 3G band support.
So, my questions are:
1. Proxy Server settings: Is this available on the Fuze ROM? The Tilt I have now allows me to uncheck the "use proxy server" on my MediaNet connection profile. This is an important setting for me to have, as without it I can't get my Slingbox client and Newsbreak to work properly if it is enabled or not available to disable.
2. Internet sharing: Are the rumors of this being removed true? I hear that they pulled it. ATT is starting to look like Verizon with their ROM limitations. If they did pull the internet sharing app, can you copy it from another device or will applications like PDANet or WMWiFiRouter work in it's absence?
I think that is all I need to know for now. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
-Rob

why dont you just flash a new rom to it?
internet sharing is there you just have to open from file explorer
and the NA touch pro will be available after the fuze with 3G

I thought about that...
Ok, I had considered that, but if I do flash a ROM, which one?
If I flash it, will it have the appropriate application/registry entries to support the bands for proper 3G operation here in the States?
GRRRRR.... why do they pull this crap? Apparently it is too much to ask to get a true "world" phone with all the bands in hardware and software!
-Rob

well i work for at&t and i was given the fuze as a demo device about a month ago and have since decided to keep it (kind of a nice thing). you can do what i just did to mine. I flashed it with HTC firmware, then flashed the at&t radio's onto it. I was also given a link to a cab file that switches the keyboard to the at&t layout (my only gripe change).
The onlything i see intresting is the Fuze's we got in last week, when i booted one up and played with it for a customer, i noticed they have a 1.95 SPL they are shipping with. wonder if that will effect flashing to the unsigned spl. And i will say, They didnt trim much out from original software, however they gave it the good ole' at&t bloatware.

your store got multiple fuzes in??

with my 8525 whenever i hard reset i let it do the first customization to set the device up but i soft reset when it begins the 2nd since that is when att crap is loaded. does the fuze have a similar setup? or all at once

All the configuration is done during one customization screen. A soft reset to kill the bloat must be done before you see the "3...2...1..." countdown.

Rob-
I bought my Fuze off eBay so I can't swear that it is the same version as what will ship but I'm pretty sure that it is.
On mine, you can check or uncheck "use proxy server" in the Media Net settings just like on your Tilt. Also, mine DOES include the Internet Sharing. I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but since it's there I'm guessing it works.

Internet Sharing is in the official AT&T ROM. As a matter of fact, when you connect the USB cable, you get 2 choices: Activesync or Internet Sharing. No Wireless Modem crap on the Fuze.

Where did you find out that there will be a NA Touch Pro after the Fuze is released?

[Q] Comet: Limited Internet

I have a T-Mobile comet that I bought as a backup phone. My regular phone is a HTC-HD2 with all the appropriate mods such as Magldr, root, and the NAND Rom of my choice. It works great.
My data plan is a Blackberry plan, however as stated the HTC works fine. The Comet does not:
I have rooted the Comet and I can get weather and news updates just fine, however when I browse the web, I get the dreaded T-mobile screen indicating I have no data plan. Here are the APN’s I have tried:
Epc.tmobile.com
Internet2.voicestream.com
Wap.voicestream.com
Anyone have an Idea on how I can make this work without changing my data plan?
Thank you in advance!

To answer your question in a simple way...the set up for Android and WinMo form T-Mobile's end is different.
Call them and asked them to change your data service to Android...I have an HD2 running Android with that set up with no problems.

Thank you for the reply. I need to keep the data plan as is for when i have to use my Blackberry. As I stated the HD2 works fine, forgive my lack of knowledge, but why would the HD2 work and the comet not?
Also is there a way to make the comet work by flashing it with something?
Just seems odd to me that the Comet has SOME internet working.
Thank you again.

T-Mobile has different set ups for different devices: Android and WinMo do work with the same set up...I know that since I'm using an HD2 running Android. Now BB is a different beast due to the different protocols for its data system.
Like I said...you can not have it both way mate. As you've noticed it wont work.
I suggest for you to change it to Android by calling them and see what happens otherwise it won't work as you are experiencing it
Cheers,

thank you
Well not what i wanted to hear, but that's how it goes sometimes.
Thanks for giving it to me straight.
