Hi,
I've just got my Tytn II and bought seperately a T-Mobile UK SIM to use it with. When I switch the unit on I get a warning message saying "Smartchip not provisioned MM#2". I can't then connect to the network- I just the "no service" message.
The phone detects all the available networks fine, and I swapped in an O2 SIM from my old universal, and it worked immediately- so the Kaiser is working fine.
I tried Googling the error without success, so you guys are pretty much my last resort... I see from this forum that some people seem to have it working on T-Mobile UK.
I hope it's something really stupid that I'm not doing! Does anyone have any ideas on this?
I've been reading these forums for a few years now, but this is my first actual post. I know if anyone can help, you guys can

I have my TyTN II working on T-Mobile fine. I just put the SIM card in and it worked.
Maybe you have an old SIM which is not fully compatible. How old is the SIM.
It's a brand new SIM, only arrived on Friday.
I'm waiting for another unlocked phone to try the SIM on to see if it is defective. THanks for the reassurance that yours is working- it gives me some hope!
So may be T-Mobile's reasons for delaying the Vario III were actually true!!!
Mine's working fine
Old SIM as well, around 18 months old!
I can also say that my T-Mobile sim is working fine and this is about 14months old, just put it in and installed my T-Mob 3g/mms setting myself and all is well.
Can browse the web receive push email and send mms no problem at all.
must be the new sim, try activating the sim on another phone first if it has not been activated yet, and then once activated and working, put it back in the kaiser. does seem very strange though.
Same here, auto-configure settings working perfectly!
Although it seems to have setup a separate connection for Picture messaging... has yours done that?! Can i just delete that and tell it to use the normal 3G connection? :S
Try T-Mob support
Either take it back to the shop or contact them via the website, I've found them quite responsive on the few occasions I've used them.

Real good phone, ... but nothings perfect
bij Anonymous - maandag 10 september 2007
Its the best ppc i've had, but not flawless like everyone loves to say. 1. The slider is implemented backwards. No, this is not just something trivial because the rotate screen button and the camera both rotate the screen wrong. Also its not convenient for right-handed people. 2. The stylus should drop in at the top, not the bottom. 3. There is no hardware control for the volume. 4. You have to buy an adapter to use regular headphones. 5. Google maps keeps losing the gps signal (although tomtom works fine). Also t-mobile can't take advantage of this phones 3g capabilities which is unfortunate. Every other review is going to say this phone is the greatest invention since god, but I just wanted to point out its not perfect. That said, I am still happy with my purchase and would recommend it.
PLease note the text in Red, what might that mean ??
Maybe it was referring to US T-Mobile, since it is supposed to use 1700 when the 3G is going live?
I haven't seen a lack of 3g mentioned for T-Mobile UK, but may be the Netherlands are different. My problem is more that I can't even get it to connetct to the network... I'm going to try the SIM in a different phone tonight and see if it's broken.
Churchill,
That is not true!
I use T-Mobile NL and subscribed to "Pocket Internet Totaal Plus" :
- Max 192 Kbit/sec download
- Max 32 Kbit/sec upload (if I am not mistaken)
- 19.95 euro / month
- Unlimited usage
My SIM card is very old, I have been using it since few years ago.
The T-Mobile NL 3G is working just fine.
I got the "3G" icon all the time and managed to test the connection with dslreports.com and got 144 Kbit/sec.
Yesterday I tested the internet connection sharing, so I connected the Kaiser to the internet and plugged it to the laptop.
It worked fine! The speed was constant 30 KBytes/sec (tested by downloading big file).
So, I confirmed you that T-Mobile NL is working fine.
PS: One thing that still puzzled me, why dont I get HSDPA (3.5G) connection??? The "H" icon. I tought that T-Mobile has HSDPA already.
Maybe if I subscribed to "Internet Totaal Plus" (1.8 Mbit/sec, 69.95 euro / month) I will get HSDPA ... but, it is toooooo expensive!

Gogol, thatnx for the reasurance.. I am right now on the Pocket internet Totaal woth 64kbps and once I prolong I want to take the Plus version for 19,95 since the first year is half the price.
I beleive that H icon shows only if you go to HSDPA speeds. I was able to reach those speeds of up to 1Mbps on my current subscription (pocket internet Totaal) because there was a whole in the ssytem by T-Mobile. If you get the Pocket Internet Totaal in T-Mobile shop (mind you onlyu t-mobile shop) you were able to just surf in HSDPA. That lasted about 10 months for me after which they capped the connection to 64 Kbps so I am a real unhappy man right now, so Once the Keiser is availbale by my reseller I am going to take the Plus version for 19,50 a month.....
Gogol,
Are you Dutch??
Original Issue fixed
Just a note to report that my original problem seems to be fixed. I just put the SIM card in another phone and it worked. Then transferred it back to my Kaiser and the error had gone.
I have no UMTS, but I'm pretty sure I just haven't found the right setting. Does anyone know if T-mobile UK has HSDPA yet?
Churcill, No I am not Dutch. But I live and work here in the Netherlands for couple of years already. Love the country
I can understand Dutch pretty much, but no speak
And you?

T-Mobile UK allows HSDPA although dependent on what handset you signed up for with them you may not have it enabled on your account. For example if you bought say a Vario II from them then this is now enabled by default on the account. You may need to speak to 150 to get it enabled.

I am living here since 2002 (my Wife is Dutch) I love the place.. The reason I asked is because of your screen name. Gogol was a famous Russian Writer who's works we had to learn in School (I grew up in the former Soviet Union) so that is why I am asking what nationality you are..

I am using Vario II on T-Mobile UK, it DOES have HSDPA, I got the H icon. You need to ask them to activate the HSDPA service for you if they haven't done so.
Ah, I see .. no I am not Russian Gogol was picked out of nowhere
The Pocket Internet Totaal Plus (PITP) is quite nice, although the network latency is still pretty much high. Sometimes lagging for several seconds
T-Mobile NL is still the cheapest 3G provider, right? I havent checked around yet (will do after this).

I hate to post topics that might have been covered...but i've searched and searched until i got a headache and figured I'd just ask....
From what I understand, from a t-mobile representative I know, there is a download able patch for the wing that will allow you to use hotspot @ home (that is use your mobile phone and mobile phone number to place calls through ANY active wifi network you can connect to) and also one for the sidekick..which is irrelevant considering the platform...
Anyways, I have a wing and went to t-mobiles site and see nothing about downloading this fabled update but haven't found anything.
Long story short: does this exist, and if it does, has anyone tried messing with it (i.e. cooking something up) so it works for the MDA?
I love my MDA and the wing is really..well...the same thing, with a few new lame features.
I, too, have a T-Mobile MDA and REALLY want to use this service. I can't understand why I wouldn't be able to utilize the MDA's built in WiFi features with the service. Anyone done found any helpful hints since this thread was originally posted?
I understand this thread is old, but wanted to chip in and voice my curiosity for this as well.
I have the MDA and have been very happy with T-Mobile. But after moving to a new place recently, I have NO coverage inside my home.
The MDA is a very capable phone and I'm sure that [email protected] is usable on it with just a software installation. Although, does anybody have a clue as to how to make that happen?

The only WM phone that I'm aware of that can possibly be used with [email protected] is the Hp IPAQ 510 that has not been provosioned for AT&T.
There are two SKU's for this phone-one for AT&T, and one that is unlocked.
Please bare with me while I whine on for a bit....
I'm on t-mobile. I've got a Kaiser (not a t-movile Vario). Can someone tell me how I can tell I'm using the HSDPA t-mobile network? Is there an "H" icon that shows itself on the status line? All I get is the 3G icon (I'm based in London... well, within the M25 anyhow)
Now.... I've also been told that to get my Kaiser to use T-Mobile's mobile TV service I need to swap out the original browser.dll for one that tricks T-mobiles web site into thinking I'm using a Nokia N95...... (dont laugh, I have a suspician I'm having my leg pulled too).... and it's apparently on this website somewhere.... and yes, I've looked but cant find it.
So, if all this dosent work, anyone want a nearly new Kaiser, cheap? or wanna swap for a Sim free N95 8GB?
Hi there
I have a Kaiser (actually a HTC Tytn II) on TMobile and the 3G icon changes into a H when there is activity on the connection - it stays 3G until you upload or download.
TMobile have recently stopped HSDPA usage with the lowest price Web n Walk, you now only get it on the more expensive options. Does this include you?
As for the TMobiles TV service, sorry I can't help you there.
I've got the £7.50 web&walk. When you say upload/download does that include just pain old viewing of webpages?
See if 'Settings' 'Connections' 'HSDPA' is checked?
you dont need to do anything to a vario 3 to watch the tv mine works fine. so id assume a kaiser would also

I think the reason you`re not getting it is because you are on the lowest priced Web n walk, you have to be on Web n Walk Plus, or Web n Walk Max. This was only brought in by TMobile in the last month or so.
..and yes it includes any web viewing/email etc.
Have you called T-Mobile? You might be on the right tariff, but I've heard people say they've called T-Mobile and had it switched on, much like international roaming.
It might be worth giving them a quick ring?
thats what I thought too, but there's obviously something different. I have come across some registry tweeks that apparently work.... but not on my Kaiser.
I'm onto T-mobile right now, they say HSDPA isnt available on my price plan (as I originally had a Nokia N73 which dosent have HSDPA).
I'm on hold waiting to see if they can tweek it so I can use HSDPA on the Kaiser..... fingers crossed!
I have read that they will sometimes activate it even if you are not on the appropriate tariff, it depends if you get a helpful TMobile Customer Service person.
Good luck
As far as I'm aware, HSDPA is part of the web n walk packages, and should be included in anything other than the cheapest option.
In reference to your T-Mo TV problem:
I don't know if this will help you, but with the Tilt on AT&T, you have to change a registry value when you flash a rom other than an AT&T rom for AT&T to recognize the device as a Tilt. Maybe you need to switch your registry so that T-Mo's servers recognize it as a Vario III and not a Kaiser or TyTN II.
now i work for Orange retail but actually have a t-mobile contract! lol (much better data plan!) now im actually on the lowest web n walk package and when i recieved my vario III in early november i questioned a friend of mine that works for t-mobile...he said it doesnt matter what package your on you just need to phone up to get HSDPA activated! ive done this and can clarify it works fine...
Im on Tmobile and have HSDPA working fine on mine, as for T-Mo TV use a Slingbox instead more choice and better value.
I know this has been answered in several treads, but I can not make it to work.
I am trying to configure flat rate internet setting on my htc phone, but it seems i can not get password to populate.
I have an original HTC unlocked phone. Can somebody please provide step by step instructions with required files on how to perform the required steps to start using flat rate plan from softbank.
Thanks.

Google search for it on XDA. The threads there made it work for my Kaiser, but since I was on Softbank rental sim (which doesn't offer flat-rate data), the password populated and worked, but I still get billed by 128byte chunks.
I actually am on Softbank with an unlocked kaiser (just have a SIM contract). There were some instructions (in japanese) to get the open.softbank.ne.jp to work. I was testing it out cautiously for the first month and it seems to work fine. However, from yesterday I can't even make phone calls or get a data connection. When i try to make a call it tells me to call customer service, when i try to make a data connection, it tells me the answering modem has been disconnected.
I plan on calling Softbank tonight to see what's up. If it's just a technical glitch, i'll post what i did to make everything work. If they locked me for using open.softbank.ne.jp...oh well...i guess i'll try docomo!
I followed the instructions for setting up the open softbank connection, am using an HTC branded kaiser from Hong Kong so no lock, and as of 15 mins ago my data still working sweet.
Just download the prepared softbank package from the other thread, there is a readme, pretty straight forward but I can say it is working.
Another possibility is from tomorrow emobile will have kaisers here on data plans for half the cost of softbank. I would love to get an emobile sim and setup a connecdtion with them. But you know how it is here. The moment I asked the know nothing guy standing next to the phones about getting just a sim contract things get oh so complicated... sigh...

Will the Kaiser work on emobile since they're using W-CDMA 1700MHz? If it does, without a new radio firmware, then there's hope of using the Kaiser on T-Mobile USA's 3G AWS W-CDMA 1700.
I tried installing the emobile Sim card in my unlocked kaiser (friend had a demo emonster) and it doesn't work (probably due to the 1700Mhz). I'm a newbie, so can you tell me if the the radio can be set through a firmware upgrade or is it a hardware issue?
eMonster ROM needed
Hi i have the emonster. But i am having some trouble with the ROM. Anyone know where to get the factory ROM for emobile emonster S11HT KAIS140 SPL-3.06.0000 CPLD-8 RUUNBH?
TyTN II on Softbank
Could anyone help me reset the setting to enable this phone to work properly on Softbank. I am not sure what priceplan I'm on so whatever settings you can give would be great...
I have tried talking with Japanese staff but my Japanese is not good and their English is even worse.
It is so difficult to get a straight answer. I know this phone works here as I did nave it working a couple of years ago, but due to some changes in Softbank, it doesn't seem to work now..... Could someone please help me with a set of settings.
I am using Windows mobile 6
Thank you very much in advance...

Have just got a new contrcat with three and have sold the phone i have got with them.
I am getting a diamond from ebay, but wanted to know what network i should get it from. Is there any benifits of getting a orange diqamond over a tmobile.
What are the diferences?
I dont really want the o2 with the flast back and i would rather not have any branding on the phone.
Aditionally i will need to unlock it, are any easier to unlock than the others?
I found some info on how to set up the internet setting for the other htc devices for three UK and someone said it worked on theor diamond. Hopefully this should work. But if anyone has a diamond on three uk and has any advice on setting up. PLease let me know
