I've got an Orange UK Kaiser and it was working nicely. Then I had it unlocked using the service from http://www.imei-check.co.uk. I can use a Vodafone SIM to call and text without any problem. However when I tried to use 3G connection to browse the internet, it automatically tried to connect via Orange Internet and then failed, not surprisingly. So, how can I set up the phone to use Vodafone's 3G network instead of Orange's? It seems I can set up a new connection but I have not a single clue how to do it. I apologise if this is already asked and answered on the forum, I really couldn't find it. So, could anybody please point me to the right thread, or tell me how to solve the problem? Many many thanks.
Just google for vodafone's GPRS connection settings and either create a new connection or replace the orange one's details in start, settings, connections tab, connections.
problem solved, many thanks for the help.

Hi guys,
Tried searching for a similar problem but didn't find anything.
I have had it changed twice now, so it could be a problem with the current software.
I am finding that I am missing most of my calls, and they are going straight through to voicemail, despite having full reception.
This is not happening with the Sim card in any other phone, just with the Vario 3.
This is a T- Mobile UK handset
has anyone had a similar problem? I'm thinking if they are just replacing it again then I may have to try a different handset.
It's very disruptive for work and social purposes when callers are getting straight to voicemail most of the time.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
thanks.
Hi, The problem may be with the 3G network, I had a similar problem and was told to change the network settings to standard GPRS settings through the network settings menu on the vario iii.
This did solve the problem of calls not coming through. I changed settings back to 3G a couple of days later and all seemed to be working again.
I think that the problem lies with the 3G network as I was advised by someone I know who works for T-mobile UK that T-mobile are still experimenting with 3G and certain areas may work better than other areas due to problems with the network at certain times.
Were the other phones that you used your sim in on 3g or standard gprs settings?

Thanks for the response.
I have put it on GPRS which seems to have helped.
It's just defeating the purpose of web and walk.
My previous phone was the vario 2 which to my memory worked fine, although I did put the latest radio version etc on it via this site.
They are sending a repair bag for me to post over to them the handset, but I imagine they don't have any updated software to stick on it or radio.
Hey guys
I have a problem here
Last month I bought an ATT Tilt and unlocked the sim that I can use it internationally
the sim unlock does its job, however, I can't seem to use the GPRS in other country even though I've set it up correctly (even had representative from the provider to help me)
so..can anyone help me with this ?
thanks
used my kaiser in Ukraine on GPRS
I just got back from Germany and Ukraine. My AT&T sim roamed on 3g fine in Germany. In Ukraine I put in a kyivstar sim. My HTC Kaiser did not recognize and auto configure the sim for data. (the phone worked just fine with no adjustments). I went to the kyivstar website and got their settings for GPRS (www.ab.kyivstar.com) and entered them manually in settings/connections/connections section. GPRS then worked just fine. I was surprised Kyivstar did not auto config since they have been the largest provider in Ukraine for 10 years. When I came back to the states my AT&T sim card powered up and reconfigured itself to 3g just fine also. Sorry but I do not know why yours is not working
i have the same problem with you , i bought att tilt from ebay a month ago. The sim lock works still but after a month i can not connect gprs. Can someone help me ?
same problem......
HELP !
Hi guys. Many Tmobile users encounter the same thing when using the Tilt. Locate the cab file in your Windows folder that Disables Hidden Proxy and run it. Then confirm your GPRS settings for your provider. That should clear the problem and allow connections.
did you try deleting the proxy in the registry?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]
look for the line that says
"EnableAutoDetect"
and delete it.
didnt work for me... but try!
Hello All,
I have a problem with my kaiser, it started i think 2 weeks ago. I have vodafone (netherlands) with a data connection account (hsdpa). Now is the problem that i can't use umts (3g) or hspda. The only thing i can use is gprs. It looks like the modem or something is broken. But that is a kind of weird because (if i understand correctly) its al the same chip (wifi and so on). When i open internet explorer it begins to connect a gprs, 3g data connection. But it can't connect, than you can see a X by the synchronisation arrows (on the top of the screen). And after a few secconds it comes with a message that with the current settings there can't be a data connection. But if seen other messages as well ( the modem on the other side disconnected the connection) The weird thing is that i tried my sim card in my friends kaiser there it works fine, so it have to be my kaiser.
Ok what i tried:
I have a dutch htc kaiser (not vodafone branded or anything)
I use the latest dutty rom, but i tried the orriginal rom and different roms to see if the problem was the rom or something.
When i let the 3g mode on i can see that the phone finds a 3g connection (to call over umts).
Is there any program or tool or something so i can test the modem?
Or does anyone know a sollution for me, i will be very greatfull!!
Ok i tried a other radio to, maybe this was the problem. But it didn't, at this moment i have the default htc dutch rom (who was on the phone when i got it). I searched the net for the same problems, what i found was that this error could be happening when you have your wifi connection open, but i have wifi disabled. The phone is still receiving a 3G connection, but after a few secconds the 3G icon is gone and the failed synchronisation icon (two arrows with an X) is visible. than you can see that the phone is reconnecting. and then if i want to connect to the internet the same story as above is happening.
When i search internet i couldn't find an tool to test the chip/modem.
Because i have it spl unlocked i can't return it for rma, is it posible to restore the default spl?
Hi,
unfortunately I have the same problem with my Kaiser. I have an unbranded German version and it worked fine with all bands (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS(3G) and HSDPA) but since two weeks ago its only working with GPRS and EDGE mode. I have to change band-selection from AUTO to GSM in order to make or receive any calls.
I didn't do any ROM flashing, everything remains the same as the device was shipped.
I assume, that something is damaged but I have no idea how it could happen or how I can find out exactly what is causing the problem.
Since there is still warranty I'll return my Kaiser soon.
seems to be a widening problem
hi,
it seems many have the same issue, see my other posts for linkage to some other threads on it...no solution yet as far as I can tell.
rich
p.s. moderators any chance to link these threads and make a sticky?
ok, thanks for your reply. I've allready found another thread for that issue. But im still uncertain if its a bug in my device or a combination of a bug with a provider specific (Tmob Germany) problem or if its only the provider to blame for??
Chris
I have a slightly different problem. I don't have 3G in my area but only EDGE. Now the problem is that I cannot get speeds higher than about 80 kbs with EDGE.
Now when I put the same SIM in my Touch I can get speeds upto 200 kbs. So obviously this is not a problem of my service provider but rather something wrong with the device.
I have repeated the trial by swapping SIMs a number of times but with similar results all the time. Really don't know of a solution. Will appreciate any help.
haven't seen the edge problem
hi,
my edge speeds seem to vary more by location...I measure up to 200+kbs but have seen it go much lower too. there is a location where I can still get 3G working and i measured up to 1.7mbs for downloading! At my home location it is sporadic edge only and I can't even always get to speakeasy.com to test it, sometimes the speedtest says its not licensed..switching to wifi and it works. My guess is some needed ports are getting blocked by at&t at times..because sometimes it works. I brought all this up with at&t..they are taking some charges off this month and switched me to a cheaper plan too...so they at least seem to care even if they can't quite fix things yet.

Hi all,
I am using my Diamond on the UK Orange network and am having constant problems with the data connectivity over GRPS/3G. I have the phone synced to our Exchange server and also have an IMAP email account. It is set to use push but I often find the active sync in "waiting for network" mode rather than connected. If I keep hitting "sync", it will eventually connect and get my mail. I also find frequently that Opera times out and my IMAP mails fails saying it cannot "connect to server". Other times I can see the data connection restart or just go missing. I thought it was just my handset but after looking at a few collegues with Diamoinds, also on Orange, they seem to have similar issues. I'm going to bring this up with Orange but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.
We are all running the official Orange 1.93 Rom. (With us having replacement insurance I am not keep on flashing a non official ROM via HARDSPL. I've had four Diamond already due to various faults!)
Any advice would be appreciated. data is a business critivcal function for us and currently either Orange or the Diamond are letting us down.
Thanks!
Steve

Hi i am on orange in nottingham and i am having the same problem i am running a offical HTC rom 1.93 and i cannot get online just keeps cutting out the data connection, if you call orange and get an answer please PM me as i need this fixing cos its getting bad now no internet on my diamond

YIPPY me 3!! i thought it was just me with 3G problems!!
i'm also having issues making video calls and surfing the www via the 3G on orange i have looked and looked for settings concerning 3G and it's coverage and i'm drawing a blank.
i've called orange too and was told there should be no reasons as to why i'm having so many problems with it, as all things were normal and correct as far as they could tell and my location nottingham has 3G masts all over infact i was in the middle of 3.
i was wondering what effect changing the network type would have from auto to GSM/WCDMA and changing the GSM/UMTS band from auto to one of the others listed (too lazy to type them all out )
are there any tweek tools out there which can booost the signal reception?? it does my nut in to see the 3G icon flash up and disappear as soon as i try to use any of the 3G functions..
I've been getting this problem the last week or so too. Very odd as it used to work perfectly.

Problem with Diamond GPRS
Hello all,
I live in Tehran, Iran and I use Irancell network operator.
GPRS is available in this network and I could use it on my old cell phones such as SonyEricsson W810 and Nokia N81. But now I have HTC Touch Diamond and when I try to connect it to GPRS it tooks a long time to connect, showing "Connecting" but after a while it cannot connect!
Everything is OK, all settings, etc. I called Irancell but they say your phone is not compatible our network!
I think there must be a way to use this networks GRPS on my Diamond!
The first reason that made my buy this cell phone was its Internet capabilities...
and I know this networks use the same settings as South Africa Network Operator.
If anyone can help, please tell me.
Thanks.
Sounds more like a network problem than a handset problem imo. I hope I am not tempting fate but I have not had any problems with data connections on UK T-mobile. That said, I get a weaker signal than I do on my old MDA Compact III handset so I think part of the problem could be the internal aerial
The bottom line for me is that the Diamond is a good but flawed phone. ****e battery life and too clever, compact, aestheticaly pleasing for its own good
You get a very quick GPS fix for Google maps and sat nag though
Apologies for going off at a tangent
I'm on Orange, also in Nottingham and have been having this problem for the last week or so too.
Must be a network problem. I have to tap on the "H" connection icon, tap Disconnect and try again.

I agree that it's flawed, the biggest problem being battery life. The next biggest problem is that TF3D seems to be incredibly poor and half-finished. My solution is not to use it, that way you have a normal old-style WM phone but smaller, sleeker and faster with a VGA screen. HTH
Im all good here

I have a orange Diamond and live in cheshire, i have never had one problem with connecting to data services, always get a strong signal.
My phone is running duttys rom 2.3a (there are newer virsions, time of writing 2.7rc2) and the latest radio BS14, That radio is very quick at switching from Gprs, 3G and HSDPA, it has also increased my signal strenth a tad. its worth looking at that.Other than changing these, knowing orange it could be there network, it happens from time to time.
i have considered flashing my phone with a new ROM but since i've never done this type of thing before, i'm worried i'll end up creating a nice looking paper weight and with all the ROM's out there how do know which is best??
wrong answer edit.
Hi,
I have an Orange branded Samsung Galaxy S that is being used on the Vodafone network. This all works find except for Data. The button from the drop down menu can't even be pressed/hilighted and 3G never shows on the status bar. We've tried putting an Orange sim in and data works fine with that but not with the Voda one.
Is this a conflict between the Orange Phone and Voda network and do I need to (or can I even) flash a Vodafone stock ROM in place of the Orange one?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I've searched and can't find an answer. Thanks for any help.
Either call up Vodaphone and ask them to send your APN settings or search their website or the net. Theses are the settings that tell the phone where to link to and which network you belong. The phone is probably trying to link to the Orange data network but obviously being rejected.
Thanks but we have tried that and it's all set up for Vodafone. That's why I couldn't understand that the orange sim connected straight away.

Hmm.. Have you asked if Vodafone has activated your data or de-activated it...
Also try going to the settings menu and make sure 3g data is enabled, and if it is maybe also check data roaming.
Lastly yes you should be able to flash a Vodafone stock rom on the phone as all it provides is the Vodafone bloatware. All the specs are the same in the device so there shouldn't be a conflict.
Thanks, I'll contact Vodafone again. Although I'm not holding out much hope, they seem to have as much technical knowledge as a 3 year old. The last one told me I would have to switch WiFi off before it would switch to 3g when out of range.
Thanks for your help
