Hi guys, I',m brazilian and I brought a AT&T Incite from the US, unlocked. Slipped in my "Oi" brazilian SIM and it worked. Made calls, got messages but my own messages wouldn't go through, as well as the Wi-Fi connection, which would connect but wouldn't effectively work.
It is definetly unlocked, considering my SIM card is up and running, making and receiving calls (receiving SMS too), but it appears that the AT&T software is preventing me from using some of the key functions of my phone such as texting and using Wi-Fi connections.
Anyone knows what can I do to solve it, please??? Thanks a lot.
Help, plz!!!

Hi all, i recently got a vodafone Treo Palm 750 from a friend who bought it from the UK.
I'm currently outside the UK...now when i try to put my non-UK sim card into the phone, it logs on normally to my GSM network however the phone exhibits the following weird behaviour.
1) SMS send and receive works normally.
2) I cannot make a call... phone starts dialing then hangs up by itself immediately.
3) When someone calls me i can receive the call... but my microphone and speaker are off so that i cannot hear the person nor can they hear me... in other words i cannot make or receive voice calls.
4) Despite having the tap sound turned on, the touch screen makes no sound when tapped.
5) Even after pairing with another phone, i am unable to send files to the treo over bluetooth.
Basically the situation is I cannot use the phone for calls yet i can send SMS. Now I don't know anything about the different types of phone locks and have never worked with locked phones, but is this behaviour caused by some wierd thing vodafone did to prevent me using the phone outside the UK ? If so why would they let me use my non-UK simcard to SMS but not call ?
The phone has no scratches so i doubt this is a hardware issue caused by the phone falling previously.
Please give me any idea about why this is happening and how i can fix all issue so i can use this phone throughout the world. (btw i did a soft reset but no difference... i don't want to do a hardware reset because if this phone is somehow partially unlocked then it may revert back and i won't even be able to use my non-UK sim outside the UK to SMS).
Thanks
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to get some sort of notification that someone is trying to call while my Fuze is tethered on a non-3G network? For example, if someone tries calling, a program on the phone detects the call and notifies the user. Or, what kind of data can be sent while the phone is tethered on a non-3G network? Just SMS? Finally, I have read that as long as data is not actively being exchanged the phone will work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
" tethered on a non-3G network?"
problem is that ever since gprs was invented it haven't
blocked for callers to be received thats why it was invented
apart from it's speed inc over normal gsm data modem
however if ones operator use old technology in their centrals
one get the problem you experience where data block calls
the issue being isolated to your isp rather then your phone
there really is no way for you to get an notification by the phone
as the phone never get any info from the central
personally gprs data never blocked a call or sms for me

I'm on AT&T so all my answer will be as I know on this network.
1) It will ring, hope that is notification enough.
2)All data, it is just like being online on a dial-up connection but a bit faster.
3) Phone works, HOWEVER, if it is not on 3g any calls will interupt the data flow. Meaning if you recieve a call it will disconnect your data connection. Voice overrides the data.
Ok, thanks for the information! I am on AT&T as well with the Fuze and mostly work on the Edge network. I noticed while doing some trial and error that the phone would ring or receive SMS only when data was not actively being transferred. That is why I was wondering if they made or program, or some notification system that would alert an incoming call or text.
Hi, first time posting here, so tell me if I miss anything out. After a few weeks of using my phone I've ran into a problem that it can't make or receive calls and neither sends nor receives sms messages, but mobile data works just fine. The only momentary solution I've found so far is placing my sim card into a different slot and not setting it to 3g/4g, then the calls and sms work properly, but it automatically sets to 3g/4g some time later. Have sent the phone to warranty repairs and they just reinstalled my android, which didn't help any. Also the sim card is not the problem since it works in other devices and no card works in the honor I have. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Bump(?) :')
Hi
I just bought an XZs dual SIM version. I'm having a very strange issue with it.
I have two SIMs installed: one on O2 UK and the other on Three UK.
The three chip works perfectly. Can do everything, voice, data, SMS etc... all good.
The O2 chip however has a strange issue. Every phone call I make it says "Invalid number".
Even if I call using the international +XX XXXXXX type or if I call using the UK style 07XXXXX both say "Invalid number" and do not complete the call.
What is odd is that I can receive incoming calls to the number. SMS and data also works, just making outgoing calls fails.
I checked that the phone supports the bands that O2 uses and it does. It does connect to the network (as I said I can receive calls, use data, send and receive SMS but just cannot make any outgoing calls)
The phone came from Hong Kong, and both O2 and Sony have flat out refused to help because I didn't buy the phone in the UK.
But well, it's a mobile phone, it should work in my country even if it's from HK.
I cannot really understand why I can receive calls but not make them. The SIM card works in my UK Samsung S6 so I do not think it's a network issue.
I have tried setting it to GSM only as it is my work phone and I really only need it for making calls. I've tried WCDMA / 4G / 3G but nothing fixes it.
I have reset the phone. Checked carrier settings etc.
Lastly I have tried swapping the chips around, and tried it with just one SIM but still the problem occurs.
Please can anyone give any suggestions on resolving this issue before I have to send it back ?
Thanks!
never mind. i solved it.
it was a provisioning error by the network, contacted O2 today and they resolved it by doing some kind of reset their end, which they didn't want to elaborate on.
fixed now.
Hi all,
My son ordered this phone from deal extreme and we knew that it wouldn't have total support for 4G frequencies in our area, but we only needed text and telephone, not data. When the phone arrived, it connected to the network fine and he was able to send texts so we thought all was well since, as I understand it, SMS rides on the voice data packets so if SMS works, so should voice.
We soon noticed that he could not make or receive telephone calls. We spent quite a bit of time playing with settings on the phone and calling Virgin Mobile (Canada) tech support. They, too, thought that since he could SMS, he should be able to call. They could see that the IMEI was attempting to make calls through their network and they added it to his account but to no avail.
I am currently trying to get the phone replaced through deal extreme, but I've been asked if it can be repaired. What do you guys think?
Here is a video of the problem.
