Use one of the attached cabs to identify your phone as an N95. Personally I use it for Vodafone Live access, but I'm told it also works for those on "Planet 3".
You can install and uninstall the cab to switch between N95 and TyTN II as required, but a soft reset is needed after installation.
It uses a modified "browser.dll" file, which is different for WM6 and WM6.1 so make sure you install the correct one...!
Iv installed the cab, although i dont understand what you mean with switching between n95 etc. I cant find any program or application that has been installed by doing cab installation that you suggested?! Cheers
It doesn't install any program. It changes the way your phone reports itself to websites. In this case the website will think you are holding a n95 which is one of their "approved! phones so it should just work. Try using IE to go back to the planet 3 page and see what happens with the cab installed.
Yeah, sorry. I wasn't very clear.
If this is installed then the website you are visiting thinks you are holding an N95.
If it is not installed, then the same website will think you are holding a TyTN II.
By installing / removing / installing / removing, etc. You can "switch" between an N95 and a TyTN II
I see what you mean now about switching. Installed and tested and it works really well thanks the difference between 3 HSDPA and T-Mobile HSDPA is amazing dont know what T-Mobile are playing at its so slow!
Glad it's working!
Hi.How did you unlocked your mda vario 3? 'cos ive got the same aswell and i will like to use it for 3 network.Cheers

you do know that t-mobile and 3 now share HSDPA networks so technically there is NO difference
Sub69!!
You are my hero. I have been searching for months to find a 3UK cab that would let me use Windows Live Messenger while I had the 3UK sim card in my Kaiser. The original 3UK settings even blocked the use of Live Messenger while connected to my wifi if I had the 3UK sim card in the Kaiser.
Now you come along and solved all my problems...thank you thank you thank you!
Just a shame that I bought agile mobile a few months ago to workaround the problem, but that's life
Thank you again kind sir.
oops double post
they dont share at the moment, not expected til later on the year. does take a bit of time to set this kind of stuff up! only announced last month!
also works for 3ireland
Glad it's working for everyone. I've certainly found it very handy - Still can't believe that Vodafone and 3 make us use workarounds like this though.
I wouldn't be paying Vodafone £10 per month for MobileTV if I hadn't figured this out, so they'd be worse off. Have to wonder how many new subscribers they'd get if they dropped the restriction entirely...?

Just used this sim unlocker worked fine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
That sounds great!
Does it work for HTC-P3600/SPV M700 as well?
Excellent piece of work!!! Many thanks
Thanks very much sub69 for your hard work!
Hello everyone!
Thank-you very much sub69 for sharing your knowledge & expertise on this matter!
I have just taken out a contract with "3", and would like to use my unlocked SPV M700 (HTC Trinity) to access the plethora of services I am entitled to as a 3 contract customer!
I was wondering though (as I'm quite happy with my current setup/config of my SPV M700) whether the WM6 version will work on WM5, or is the .dll file significantly different between WM5 and WM6 (as I did notice WM6 and WM6.1 have different versions)?
Many thanks for your help in advance...
Any need to "switch back"?
Dear all,
I am really interested in this file in order to be able to access Planet 3 / Austria. Before installing I have a tiny question, however.
You say:

Now my question is: If Planet 3 successfully can be displayed with a HTC phone (in that way disguised as a Nokia one) - is there any need to switch back to the original HTC-mode?
I mean - does the N95-cab file affect the HTC's other functions in any way?
Because it seems a lot of work to constantly "switch" between HTC and N95, which requires a soft reset as it happens.
I'd be glad if I could just install the N95-disguise on my HTC TyTN II and leave it that way.
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards,
Stephan

I received my V1615 the other day and was initially chuffed to bits, the phone looks great, most of the functions you could ever need but my delight was sort lived.
I have loads of issues with the device and have called Vodafone to ask if they had any ROM updates, the man on the end of the phone tells me that the phone comes with WM5 and that no updates were available for the unit!! I said it cam with WM6 and he told me mine must have slipped through somehow.
The problems I have are mainly
Unusable camera
Phone Lockup
Wifi Poor and will not work with any Netgear wifi points
Can not turn on TouchFlo (can’t find how!)
Are these common issues with the Kaiser or should I be looking to get the unit replaced? I don’t mind holding on for a updated ROM
My current Rom version is 1.56.161.4
Any suggestions would be great
Hi,
i have had the V1615 since launch day and have none of the problems you mention.
WIFI connects to just about every make of WIFI i come across, i am computer engineer so use it on may types, so far DLINK, Belkin, Netgear, Zyxel and a few cheapo non name brand ones, with and without security and all work fine.
Camera works brilliant on mine, takes good pictures and unlike my old Vodafone 1605 does it in just about any condition, video is good as well.
Phone had never locked on me, had one problem after doing a Tom Tom install but they was fixed by a reload.
When you say touchflow assume you mean on the contacts and Ie scrolling around page ?.
Sounds like a duff one, have you tried a hard reset and reload ?
I have a 1 week old v1615 and it works fine. recommend you send it back to vodafone and ask for a replacement
mine is also running well...
I've had mine for about 2 weeks and I'm absolutely delighted with it. For a change, I think Vodafone have been thoughtful with the software they bundled onto it (Sprite Backup and TomTom 6 being just two).
Same here. HAd mine for a week or so and it's doing great. And it seems that guy you talked to doesnt know anything. The phone shouldnt come with WM5 but with WM6 as everyone elses.

Mine's 1.56.161.4
It's doing fine so i see no reason to change it to another ROM at this point.
edit: By the way i just saw that my phone came unlocked from Vodafone. I just checked with a sim from abroad and it worked fine. Calls and the lot. You guys might want to check yours out too. I didnt have to enter any sim unlock code or anything. Just came unlocked. These guys here got the same thing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1625232
Nothing to do with ROM's but cool isnt it?
Hi.. what o you think about.
I don t know for which i should decide me.
Are there differences 'bout buttons or something else?...
greets
voxid
Don't think there's a great deal of difference between them. I'm happy with my VarioIII
Aye and me, my Vario 3 has been sound since I got it.

Mine is even faster at "Active Sync" since I removed the A/V.
I found active sync wouldnt always sync. So I hard reset, reloaded apps and it still occured occasionally. After a 2nd hard reset, I could not activate the A/V (it kept activating then after each power on saying it wasnt activated, I'd re-activate it, and after power up it wasnt activated), so I removed it. Lo and behold, the active sync issues have disappeared.
I checked the F-Secure website (very little support there) and the only WM6 device they list is the HTC touch.
what's the software difference..
ist there a big branding (grey-pink and so on..) like on vario 2 on it?...
The only difference is the branding I believe, the Vario 3 has the T-Mobile stuff on it, such as Web n Walk instead of IE and T-Mobile branded on it... They are the same machine inside and you can always put whatever ROM you want on it to debrand the software!

Hello all, 1st post here. I will be aquirring a XDAIIi in a week or two as a relative is replacing his firms pda`s and im getting one of the old units.
I know they were on O2 and I have a T-mobile sim so Id like to unlock it.
I have found the unlock info on this forum and will give that a go.
My question is, what should I check for to make sure it will be running as best it can be and how can I find out what s/ware should be loaded onto it and is there a way of getting a master copy of the original build or will this all be on the software disks that came with it ?
also is there any particular sat nav s/ware that works better than most on the XDAIIi?
I understand the xdaIIi is called something else in places, what is that name ?
sorry there such open questions nut couldnt think how to phrase them in order to do a search.
many thanks in advance, Lee.
Moving to alpine.

I have sucessfully unlocked three of my firm's old Alpine's, aka XDA IIi, using the file in this post, All in one SIM unlock tool, personally i found the earlier version more successful, but you may be OK with the newer version. The biggest thing i would say is to have patience, when you run it, it will seem to finish and nothing has happened. Wait until you receive a message saying it has been unlocked, and then soft reset.
Only other advice i can give is to do a hard reset to get it back to factory settings and then when you get a popup saying "Applying customisations in 3 seconds", or something similar, soft reset. This will prevent the O2 stuff being installed, leaving you with more RAM to play with.
Thanks Ive sucsefully unlocked it for t-mobile, fantastic. just need to find out what else I can do to improve this pda.
Don't try to improve it
as is it is one of the best ever made OK yes it restricted because of only running 2003SE but it runs it dam fast. I have a friend that has a Orbit (the latest one by O2 thats the equivilent of the XDA IIi and mine is as fast as his and he ditched the crappy sat nav software that came with it to go back to TT6, ref sat nav software it runs TT 6 fine I have it on mine and have no problems whatso ever.
hello
ive got a kaiser on uk orange which with many many thanks to the people on this forum unlocked and flashed with the original htc windows 6.1 software. I have a 3G sim card that when i insert into the phone the software will configure all the mms and 3g data grps etc
everything works EXCEPT im i dont know how to get the 3 today page or 3 portal the one with videos games highlights for sports etc. On 3g branded handsets its activated by a 3G button wondered if there is a software i could install or a page i can go to on internet explorer that would bring that portal up.
many thanks.

i installed the cab file that is linked below and restarted i dont know what to do now theres now program icon to click on to forward me into the portal just a dormant software.
3 uk kaiser
n95 cab does work,but went into 3 shop and on first page of new catalogue is a kaiser !! business only,but 3 will have to update soon.
3
make sure you use the right cab,thers is nothing to see on phone,just little tweak that makes 3 network think that your useing an n95
ive installed the n95 software cab when i load internet explorer it loads google as standard when i put in any address into google it say you are now leaving my3 you will be charged for loading the next page do you wish to continue.
so as far as i know its working but problem is how do i get the portal page up is there a address i need to enter in internet explorer as it loads good a homepage not the 3 page.
my bad i found a link when it trys to redirect me that take me to the portal it works a treat thanks for all the help cab works just required some common sense on my part.
Hiya Just joined this forum seems like a great resource. Altho not sure i understand evrything.
I have just emigrated from the UK to Australia and brought my trusty Orange branded spv m700 with me.
Went out today and bought myself a 3 network SIM card, which clearly didnt work as phone was still locked. DL'd the unlocking tool from here and managed to unlock phone no problem at all so now my 3 SIM card works.
having read some of the posts i understand that the GPS will not work and i need to flash the ROM with a GPS enabled one (GPS would be handy as i have been here 1 week and got lost sooooo many times already i think Tom Tom is going to be required). This is where my trouble starts i have nfi which one i should use.
Atm i have WM 5 on it.....will it run WM6 ok??
should i be using an australian version, wwe or cooked??
All i really need is to get gps working and make sure everything else still works on the Australian 3 network.
thanks in advance for any help and advice, sure i will have some more questions soon enough

You should install another radio version. I will post in in a few hours here is you want. The version is 1.56. If you are pleased with the phone you have no reason to change the software. WM6 works. I have WM 6.1 and the g77's rom. It's a pretty nice one. All works. The only thing with it is that you don't have control volume during a call. With the original software that you have do you have control of the volume during a call?
I don't have it for a very long time but I think it's a nice phone.
