Hi,
I recently got a O2 XDA Flame and I find that I get a better reception from my old phone (motorola razr v3)
but that's ok because I wanted a pda more than a new phone
what I'd like to do is keep both phones, leave my sim card in my razr and use it's radio for all things gsm but do so from my O2 phone
is there software that will let a WM device answer call as a bluetooth headset to another phone ?
also while I'm at it, could I use the razr as a gprs data modem too ?
thanks

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.

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.

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:

Hello guys,
first time here I am glad to be a new owner of Htc Polaris but my problem is this :
my network is 3.5 not 3 and they say I cant use their sim with my phone is this true?
currently I have an old phone of my vendor which is cdma so that's why I cant test their sim.
Do u think there is a way of patching my phone so I could use it?
So what about 3.5 G?
Phone will use as much as it can, even if it's only 2 G.
BTW, I often have "H" mark on my phone - should stay for HSDPA
Hi all
I been reading several old threads regarding dual SIM, but none with actual information about it.
Can anyone please recommend a place in USA to buy a working dual sim adapter please?
It´s for Raphael (AT&T Fuze) device.
Thanks in advance,
Bump!
Q&A great an experienced team!
Any comments?
Thanks in advance,
Hey Orb,
I didnt think HTC phones supported dual sim, ive heard of people trying with limited success.
Thanks timmy
I have read several threads regarding some dual sims working but very old ones, so I´m wondering if anything new has benn launched and how is working?
Cheers,
I had a ghost dual-sim for my Universal and Polaris.
It required cutting the chip from each of my SIMs to fit the adapter.
To switch from SIM to SIM, you either powered the phone off and on, or engaged flight mode for 10 seconds.
The biggest problem was that it wasn't 3G/HSDPA compatible. If you tried to catch a H signal, it lost the signal and restarted from G. In the end I had to disable advanced networks in Connections.
Now if a dual-sim that works with HSDPA has come out in recent months, I'm very interested.
Thanks ZenithUK
I´m looking for more comments from members!
Orb,
I have such a dual SIM adapter in use since one year now, and it works fine. See thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389928
When I bought it, I had WM5 on my device. Upgrading the ROM made it even better:
On my Wizard with WM 6.1, the OS detects the phone card in use after booting and makes the right settings after asking if this should be done.
On my Himalaya with WM 6.5 it works, too, but does not make the settings automatically. Most likely this feature is not implemented in the ROM I use (or in WM 6.5).
No idea where to get one in the States, but it obviously has to be the "Switch on/off" type to work with WM devices. The cheap ones you get on *bay will not do the job.
Thanks a lot for your comments mate!
Hei!
now a week ago i bought a Handsfree Bluetooth Motorola H350.
I tested it with a mobile Motorola and with other phone, Nokia. Work great..
But .. My phone, htc touch diamond don't detect it
I use original ROM ..
Can someone help me?
I am looking for handsfree bluetooth.
Hello friend,
It may be any defect on your mobile set that's why the hands free bluetooth can't detect your htc mobile. Perhaps there any connection problem between two , so refer to your shop from where you buy your set.
Thanks
Hi all, i hope some one can help as this is starting to be a pain.
i have a s7 on vodafone uk, my friend has the same phone also on vodafone uk.
they both have the same version of android.
my phone will find all bluetooth devices that i have tried however. my friends phone will only pick up one or 2 devices. i even tried using nfc to conect a speaker to her phone. but it still did not pick it up.
Any ideas would be great thanks.
