Hi Guys,
I have just replaced my trusty Wizard (running Wizard Love ROM WM5 and working great on Orange UK) due to me damaging the external antenna plug which caused the whole phone to cease receiving a signal
I bought myself a replacement Wizard that has WM6.1 Pro ROM on it with HTC Touch Flo. I put my Orange SIM into it and cannot do much else now other than send & receive phone calls - no SMS, no GPRS, also cannot access the "phone" icon under the settings menu or even access the "SIM Manager" either.
Any ideas anybody? I suspect the Orange SIM myself!!
Many thanks in advance.
Mike.
Maybe your sim card is damaged in some strange way?
I'm not sure - the SIM works great in my other Wizard running WM5. In fact I had this same problem with my other unlocked Wizard, and it was only after changing to the "Wizard Love" ROM that it was sorted out.
I have read that it may be that the radio ROM needs updating - I don't really know.
I suspect there are other UK users out there on the Orange network who have WM6.1 running OK.
Cheers,
Mike.
Better check your SIM card in other phone for reliability ;] cheers
I have and the SIM works fine.
Although the OS is upgraded over what was on my previous Wizard, it would appear that the IPL/SPL and GSM are older versions on my replacement phone. Is it possible to upgrade these without affecting the WM6.1 install??
Cheers,
Mike.
After a lot of reading I seem to have now sorted out the problem.
I flashed a new radio ROM from 02.07.10 to 03.02.11. I put the SIM card back in and found I had a number of voicemail messages and SMS's waiting for me. No changes to any settings and I can now access SIM Manager etc, etc
I'm just happy that I'm back in communication!!
Well, further to the above I cannot now access GPRS or the MMS service.
I have tried all the GPRS settings from my older Wizard and flashed different Radio ROM's on my replacement Wizard. Now on Radio ROM 02.19.11 as I did read this seems the best one for the UK.
Anybody else on here use Orange (UK) for GPRS or MMS, and has it working so I can see where I'm going wrong??
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
I've done a lot of reading and had a play...seems to work now. I even have the "E" symbol on screen, so I'm getting an EDGE connection now that is a first!!
I was using CR86 Touch HD Cruise Edition, so I flashed XDA2's WM6.5 M2D ROM onto it instead. This then automatically picked up a GPRS/EDGE connection, but I could not access the SIM...I got the "the phone is not ready, wait 15 secs etc,etc" message. I then flashed the Radio ROM from 2.19.11 and took it up to 2.69.11 (I have previously tried 03.02.11, 02.37.11, 02.25.11, 02.19.11 to no avail)
Seems to work OK, I have sent & received a MMS messages & standard SMS now.
I just need to set up my email & sync my contacts (again)

I have an unlocked SDA on a Cingular Blue Account with the White ATT SIM. I am frequently missing calls (no rings) and receive no voicemail or missed call indicators for the calls. It does not happen all the time, and my attempts to replicate the problem have been unsuccessful. My phone is not overclocked and the problem is not limited to times when I am using GPRS data.
I am using the i-mate rom and radio update:
Operator Version: 2.6.331.2
Radio Version: 4.1.13.19_02.37.01
Any ideas?
Hey,
I was having the same problem after I upgraded the radio. I have switched back to radio version 4.0.13.25_01.14.00 and have not had any problems.
qtek 8300
rom version 2.0.9.0
operator version 2.6.311.1
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad someone else had this problem and was able to solve it. I'm very surprised I haven't found any documented occurences of this problem with so many people changing ROMs. I bought the phone used, and it came locked with the T-Mobile ROM. I updated the ROM right after unlocking it, so I don't know if the missed call problem existed with the original ROM. However, I have now switched to the Cingular ROM and it appears to be working better. I guess I'll have a better idea if it's completely fixed in a few days.
rom version 2.0.13.0
operator version 2.8.42.22
radio version 4.1.13.12_02.25.01
My 8125 has been SIM/CID unlocked and I've loaded numerous WM6 ROMs and currently have CROSSBOW RELOADED running. Never a problem (well maybe a few !!) flashing Faria's Roms or others. Thanks for all the GREAT ROM work!! I also have a ROM Kitchen ROM version I loaded too!!
The ONE issue I have is that the GPRS/EDGE data connection refuses to connect. I live in area with EDGE but I fail to see the E or G icon pop up EVER. When the modem tries to dial the G icon appears briefly but I get the "no connection...." message.
WiFi and Bluetooth work like a champ on all ROMs loaded.
I thought that this behavior might be caused by Radio ROM and I've loaded the following with same results: 2.40.11, 2.47.11, and currently have 2.19.11 running. I also went back to Cingular 2.25.11 without success.
At one point I flashed back to the button 1.05 in hopes of cleaning stuff out! I then upgraded to stock Cingular 2.25 and same problem. No data connect. I then when ahead and flashed up to WM6 (Crossbow_reloaded).
Yes, I have a $20/mo Cingular data plan and I'm using the standard WAP settings for Cingular.
What am I missing???
Appreciate your help!!

Hmmm. Sorry to ask such a question, but does it do it when you're unplugged from the USB cable?
Under Start - Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks, did you try both My ISP and MEdia Net?
Try these cabs if you haven't already:
Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I'm disconnected from USB while testing data connection.
I ran both of the cabs you included in response, but no help.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
I have wondered if there is a chance that some flag is set in the SIM that is preventing my connection. Anyone have experience here?
THX,
I've never had an issue with GPRS/EDGE after running either of the cabs above. I'm curious if you were to go back to the stock Cingular rom if it would all start working, or if there is some other issue going on here.
Also, for Cingular, if you are running WM6, don't even attempt to use any radio other than T-Mo 2.19 UK. Newer ones just seem to cause problems on the Cingular network with WM6.
I believe I have flashed back to stock Cingular 2.25 with this: (RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1).
I get same symptoms. I tried both "MY ISP" and "MEDIA Net" network settings with same results. I ran the cabs sent in this thread a couple of days ago too.
Specifically, I start IE and enter a web address and tap the green arrow to open the page. The little G appears w/moving arrows in the top bar and the info box says "Connecting to: Cingular GPRS". It stops and tries again and eventually the info box says: "Cannot connect: Dialed wap.cingular. There is no modem at this number".
Anything else to try?
Appreciate your help!

I found a related thread at the Cingular forums:

According to prubin (poster in the above thread), Cingular discovers you are on the wrong plan for your PDA and automatically disables your access. I don't know how true that is, but it may be time for a call to Cingular to verify your connection and plan.

Not true at all.
The only reason they disable the accounts has nothing to do with the device, but the amount of data usage.
Those yahoos were probably using > 500mb of data a month, or something insane that threw the flag.
Cingular doesn't care what type of device you have. It's just a marketing gimmick for them.
Yeah if you can't connect on the stock Cingular rom (the extended rom configuration will set all the GPRS and MMS stuff up for you so its ready to go) then you need to call Cingular, as its either them blocking you (not sure how they would do that really) or your phone has an issue. Be prepared, it seems Cingular will do some basic troubleshooting and then they'll offer to ship you a new phone. They don't take much time to really look into why a problem happens if its not very basic. I had a question about MMS messages and after a couple of minutes they were ready to ship me a replacement phone. I just laughed at how dumb that was. I let them note it in my account so I can get a future replacement very easily, but declined at the time.
A guy I work with has had Cingular replace (warranty exchange) his 8125 3 or 4 times now (he gets a scratch on it, so he calls and tells them some feature doesn't work)... Sheesh.

And people wonder why it costs so much for a phone - I'm paying for those replacements!!!

Yep, I totally agree. But the cell companies don't seem to discourage it either.
My buddy got a new phone and gave me his old 8125 to play with. He loaded it with a rom from this site, think it was the TNT OS (ver 3 i beleive). I used to use the sliver and was able to send/receive pictures and video messages. Ever since i put my sim card in this phone i cannot, when i receive one it gives me the option to download it but then download fails after connecting to GPRS. When trying to send one the same thing happens connects to GPRS and fails. I can send/receive SMS fine, just not picture/video messages. Anybody know what i need to do to fix this?
I'm using AT&T/Cingular

am i the only one with this problem?
maybe you should reconfigure your MMS settings..
See the following links, screenshots are for WM5, but is similar in WM6. Depending on the version of Arcsoft's MMS, may be different ways to get to the MMS settings...

There are also various CAB files you can find on here to automatically set these up...

Good luck!
i dont have the mms configuration secton like those howto's have, i need to figure out i guess what is on this phone and maybe put somthing newer on it. I just dont want to kill the phone, havnt really done this stuff before.
try this automated network configuration, developed by one of the guys here in xda-dev, install, then go to start/settings/connection/network wizard, choose your country and your cell provider and just wait for instructions
just a fyi for anybody who cares or anybody else with the same problem but this attachment/cab fixed the problem!

Just wondered if anybody had installed one of the 6.1 ROMs and use it on the UK Orange network?
If so, which radio did you use and do all 3G functions work?
Thanks.
yep flashed DCS's V1.0 witht the UK radio in his post and all seems fine, can make calls and send messages etc. If it fails you can always downgrade!
there is sound
and the camera does work
Radio
Even though it is for Vodafone? It still works on Orange?
Did you have to tell it to go the the Orange network or did it do the setup automatically as usual?
I have and it works fine
i've got Alex's 6.1 home... it works gr8. no prob with calling or any 3g functions. just few minor issues on it which can be fixed by reading alex's Faq's or loading seprate cabs. e.g. mms. but its all goood.
I cooked my own this morning and all working fine on orange uk
i have it and it is fine rom and radio see signature
hi,
just moved to a Vodafone "deadzone" and tried a Orange SIM card in my TP.
The SIM is accepted and I can make calls, but the data side does not work - the card is from work - had DATA enabled and I received a txt to update settings - myTP returned the message that the update was unsuccesfull - in a different phone the Data side does work - Is this phone related, vodafone or orange setting?
Does anybody know how to get around this???
Thanks

I'd be tempted to use the network wizard to set the connection up for you. If you haven't got a pre-installed version, then you could try this one, although I'm not sure whether it's completely up to date. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332697
