I have upgraded to your windows 6 and have a rom version 7.0c40CS, thank you its great, radio version 1.17.00 but my phone provider has now upgraded my sim card to 3G and now my phone does not work, it says no service available yet the card works in any other phone! I have carried out a hard reboot but still no good, can I use 3G? or do I have to go back and reactivate the old 2G sim card?
You are using a very old rom..try this version of the shekhar's rom

Right man! singjim may need to buy a new phone with 3G support then u can use ur sim card
3g simm card
Yes I need a 2G simm card, but when I got the old 2G card re-activated by the provider ( it works in other 3g phones ) I still have no service on the network.
I have updated the ROM as recommended by Ather90 and still it does not work. I have swapped the 2G simm card with a friend and tried his in my phone and it does not work! What a coincidence that my PDA dies when I change the simm card? I'm still lost help please.

Man! upgrade is not effect ur sim card, i think ur provider doesn't support 2G network anymore. I have upgrade my Xda II almost ten times already and it still working.
3g sim card
yes Iagree, I expect sim card is OK so what is wrong with PDA? Why does a reset as complete as a Rom upgrade not reset the phone?
This is the Same Problem i had with my Previous Himalaya..It always showed "Invalid SIM Card" or "No Service"...
i pulled out all of my hairs to solve that problem but it didnt...so i had to replace it...
Does your GSM provider still have their 2G network? If yes, insert your SIM to a SE phone and try it with 3G disabled (SE got a option to disable 3G & to use 2G only). If that also works, try a 2G sim of some other GSM provider in your PPC. Here we dont have to upgrade the sim for get 3G. we can still use the old 2G sim. But to have HSPA or speeds above 512kbps, we need to upgrade to a 3G U-SIM.
re 3g simcard
i use a 3g simcard using latest c_shekhar rom.. and it works.. no problem at all, only the stk doesnt work..
3G sim card
Took it to the XDA repair man who pulled a face at the cooked rom! then reloaded windows 2003 or something very blue and it all works!!! Plus 50$ for the trouble so I cooked it again to 6.1.2a16cs and everything is fine. It seems the phone operator deliberately immobilized the phone to make me buy a new one!! be careful out there.

hi there guys.is it possible to get the XDA2's on the 3G network.A family member want smy old PDA but is on the 3 Network! Need to no if there is a flash,Rom, ect...
Thanks layton
Now theres's 'Three' the mobile operator and theres '3G' the technology.
As I understand it, Three's SIM's can be a pain so it's best to just put the SIM in and see, if you can.
I'm quite sure that you can't get 3G on a BA though, regardless of operator or ROM, quite simply because the BA doesn't have the hardware for it.
About the SIM card: 3UK Sim cards are supposed to only work in 3G phones (different type of SIM card). There are some older 3UK Sims that do work in a 2G phone such as the BA. But 3 will be able to find this out an either send you a replacement Sim, or terminate your contract and make you pay the remainder - you broke their T&Cs.
Network: If you have a 3 SIM that works in your BA, you will not actually be using the 3UK network. You will be roaming onto O2 (or Orange from Jan 2007) permanently. The BA is not a 3G device.
yes i understad that the 3g simcards dont work on 2g phones.but u can get a phone which is on 02,orange...for examplea nokia n70.if the phone is on o2 u can flash with 3G software and will work on three.i was just wondering if it might be possible.this is also possible on sony ericcsson 2g phones.i have the phones to prove it.
You can ONLY use 3G services if your device supports 3G. The Nokia N70 DOES. The BlueAngel DOES NOT.
You don't have to flash the phone with the Network Ops variant, just enter the network settings and it will work that way.
I had an MDA Compact 3 (2.5G phone I believe).
I have upgraded to the MDA Compact 4.
However, T-Mobile did not sent ne a new SIM.
Surely my original SIM is 2G and the new phone is 3G.
Should I not have been sent a 3G SIM too?
Or are all T-Mobile SIMS 2G and 3G enabled?

T-Mobile shuld be Edge
My T-Mobile UK Sim Card was supplied when I got my MDA Vario 2 years ago. The phone was 2G only but my SIM card is 3G. I have read elsewhere that T-Mobile only supply 3G SIM Cards - regardless of what phone you get from them. HSDPA works great.
If only Orange did the same. They only supply 3G SIMs with 3G phones. I'm stuck with a 2G SIM that I never use.
It depends on your country. Here all operators are UMTS, so also T-Mobile. They can block UMTS on your sim-card (but can remotely enable it for you), but there's no difference here between a 2G and 3G card in a physical way.
Edge doesn't even exist here anymore, that's soo 1999
it all depends on how old the sim card is, i had a very old O2 simcard and that was not able to run 3G (the card was too old) BUT all newer simcards can run both 2G and 3G (depending on the service coverage)

My understanding is that here are 2 different types of SIM Cards - A SIM (2G) and USIM (3G). 3G will not work on a SIM card - you must have a USIM card. The SIM cards are very different - not in looks, but in the chip.
T-Mobile UK issue USIM cards for all phones, and these will work on 3G.
Orange UK issue SIM cards for 2G phones and these need to be replaced to work on 3G (but try asking for one from Orange and it confuses them to death).
If you do not have a USIM you will not get 3G. The network cannot remotely enable it if you have a plain old 2G SIM card.
I got some free Orange and O2 PAYG SIM cards a couple of months ago and none of them were USIM and would not work on 3G. I think that it why there are so many free PAYG SIM offers at the moment - the networks are trying to offload old stock so they can start issuing everyone with USIMs.
Thanks to all...
I got my SIM card from t-mobile in jan 2007, so I guess its 3G??
Fot the data connection I get a G sometimes and sometimes H on screen but the manual says 3G should be displayed.
On my sons nokia on the three network, i can see 3.5G on the display. That is whats confusing me... i dont see 3G!
H is HSDPA - high speed 3G (3.5G). T-Mobile are/have upgraded their network to HSDPA in the UK, so you won't see 3G symbol on your phone.
hi i like this a lot but would like to kown if i get one can i used an 3g sim card (uk)
in this phone.
thank you
if it's not sim locked to another network sure
that good but is this phone as good as the m700?
thank you
I wanted to use a tmobile sim on my captivate, I know it won't get any 3g network but I can't even make phone calls or anything. The phone is unlocked and running fasty rom v2.0...any help?ideas?
Did you input tmo apn settings?
No but im not trying to get internet i just want to make calls
you turned off the phone , then put the tmobile sim card then turn it on . Make sure the sim card works and the phone is unlocked and you have coverage
Check the sim card is it working ? maybe a modem issue.
Hello.
I have an Atrix HD from ATT, I bought it unlocked at Ebay. I used it with my ATT sim Card, then with Movistar in Colombia for vacations and everything was working great. Then I came back to the US, used a T-Mobile sim card and now I can not use any other sim card. The only one it accepts is the T-Mobile one and it works fine. If I pop any other sim card it gives me no signal (a white cross appears in a red circle where the circle bars should be).
My phone is rooted but I have not flashed any ROM or done anything else beyond installing Superuser and Titanium Backup. I already did an internal and an external reset and none works: The only sim card that gets signal is the T-Mobile one. Called T-Mobile and they said they cant help me since the phone is not supported.
My hint is that somehow the T-Mobile sim card switched my frequency bands. Whats funny though is that now I am in Colombia and when I insert the T-Mobile sim card and check which network is my phone connected to it shows Movistar and the signal bars are great. If I pop up my Movistar sim card it gets no signal at all.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
You must have setup the sim card lock disable that and then try putting in another sim
