Hi
I have a HTC Diamond and want to unlock it to use on 3 network.
I know unlocking works with T-Mobile, O2 & other SIMs but does it work on 3 network & still give me full web access, email, etc?
I what to change to 3 network as the Orange 3G in my area (Redcar, UK) is useless even thought their coverage map said very good (before I bought).
I've spoke to Orange's customer services & they told me that 3G is 'Limited' in my area but I know my brother has 3 network and gets 3.5G in this area.
Anyway enough of me moaning about Orange can anyone help with the query?
Thanks people
Yes you can mate, I'm doing exactly the sane thing I bought an unlocked orange Diamond and stuck my three SIM in. No problems!!
Thanks for the speedy info
I'll get it unlocked and post how i get on
Thanks

I would like to use Diamond with pay as you go 3 UK SIM card but i don't know how to configure HSDPA connection. Any one can help me to configure connection? Thanks
does your sim actually work in the phone? do u get a signal?
you have to call 3 to config this, but they are useless
as far as i was aware, although this is a 3g phone, it carries no usim function therefore 3 sims wont work, maybe im wrong tho - very interested to know if your sim works in the phone.............
got my diamond from orange and am now happily using it on the three network with no problems at all. Simply clear storage on diamond put in the three sim card, mine was locked however use it with an isim and its fine. The device then sets itself up for h3g and downloaded all the settings for me. Didnt have to do diddly squat. Now have 3g web on hspda, mms, my 3, the three today page etc etc. Works brilliantly over the network been on utube etc.

Yes since it's a quad-band GSM and dual band, WCDMA band I (Europe/Asia) & band IV (T-Mobile US).
You just have to be sure that the phone is unlocked and your cousin knows the local access point (APN) so he could enter it.

Yes you can add APN and delete existing APN on the phone.
I can confirm it works great on Telia in Sweden
activation?
How about activation? I saw lots of post claiming that you need to use a t-mobile SIM first to "activate" the phone to be able to get access the android os, settings etc?
Does it work with Android Market and all with Telia?
Nothing to worry about activation.
Just unlock , you will be able to use it without any problem.

Read the attached document.
It helps you activate your T-Mobile G1. Have added settings with PICS.

Nice advertisement. Of course you could just ask T-Mobile for the unlock code... which is free.
Activation problem
Hi i bought this phone on ebay and im having problems activating it
the phone is unlocked but when i stick the vodafone sim(Ireland) into the phone i cant
activate it .
I've tried using a t moblile sim card(USA) but there are no network coverage in Ireland .
I will try to use a T mobile sim card from the Uk but im really worried at this stage
Does anybody have any suggestions ?
what activation do you mean ? Does the phone ask you for google account userid and pass ?
exactly , but i cant log in to my google account because the vodafone apn settings wont work on my phone
you have to insert the settings from your provider. if you have vodafone and it doesnt work, try again I had to try 3-4 times to find exactly the correct settings (port,servers, a.o.). Im sure it will work with the correct settings (assuming that you have an google account).
I will try but i cant get the correct settings for this phone since vodafone doesnt support G1
Did u get it working on a diferent network ?
no problem if you dont have 3g ! I had only gprs / edge when I did activation and it worked here in Switzerland...
I have did it for Boxed Packed tmobile into airtel india.
You Definately Require Sim Unlocked code from
http://Unlock-TMobileG1.com the same site i got the Unlock code @ $23
They have also Provided me the Full Manual to add You Network APN Setting
MNC / MCC Code then used airtel SIm got that E icon on top with Signal Bar used Gmail A/c User name and password and did it.
No he doesnt need ! his problem is not the unlock code, his phone is unlocked as he wrote above !
He just has to find the correct settings for the APN !
AlrightThanks for helping
ill post back hereif i have success
Hello,
i spend many hours in order to find a way to make my Kaiser work, but i didn't find a solution .
My phone is always looking for a network, and finally he connect to nothing...
My Kaiser is Sim unlock... and my Sim work with SFR network.
Please help me!!
Because i start to be crazy about those hollow networks.
(I live in a big city in france, there is no problem to get the network)
HELP ME please!
I can't use my phone!
is this SFR network a GSM network? Does the Sim work in other GSM phones?
I don't know anything about cell service in france.

No, my brother gave it to me.
When i try any Sim, the phone can't find the GSM Network SFR.
I can scan the GSM Networks, the phone find SFR, but he can't log in .
Might be the defective radio problem...

Maybe, how can i solve this problem so?
I just tried to go on HTC and get the 6.1 rom, but it's still the same thing .
Please help me to find a solution.
And thank you by the way for your replys.
Does it do the same with a SIM from another operator and the related network?
That's what mine was doing when my radio broke, I could scan for networks but not connect to any. The phone was getting hot during operation as well. Only way is sending back to HTC, they replaced the whole mainboard.
How old is it? zhe problem was frequent on early units. Bad news is that if it's old it's most likely not under warranty anymore by now...
Hi everyone,
I am trying to find out if anyone in the UK on o2 is able to see "3G" on there notifcation bar at the top?
I have been trying to find out for a while and have recently changed my sim card to a 3G as i have had mine for ages and was still an old 2g one!!!!!!
Since swapping I still only see G all the time while downloading data. Does it actually change to 3G when its available?
My current settings are:
o2 mobile Web Post Pay
APN mobile.o2.co.uk
Username: o2web
Password: password (i think!)
APN Type: Internet
Any help would be great
Regards Jim
Well when I'm inside I get HSPDA, I some times see the 3G logo, not often, but HSDPA is better anyway, when I have a decent signal or it drops to edge, but outside I always get it, It could be due to lack of a decent signal?
Make sure in Mobile Network Settings you have Network mode set to GSM/CDMA (Auto Mode)
My Internet settings are the same as yours
So you actually see a 3G logo then.........humm
I checked my network settings and mine are on auto as well.
Im wondering if there something wrong with my phone????
The only reason I say this is because my m8 is on 3 network and when were next to each other he can pick up a 3G signal and I cant. I find it hard to beileve 3 has better network in my area. Specially I always have a 5 bar signal.
Cheers for replying

Have you checked your signal on the o2 post code checker? I wouldnt bash three's signal thinking o2 is better! as 3 network share nearly all 3g sites with tmobile now and have really good coverage so dont use that as a president.
Also best to try your sim in a unlocked/o2 phone in an area that you know gets signal like the o2 shop. Also i didnt think any network needed new sims for 3g apart from orange with the strange usim!
I see both H and 3G.
Yeah i needed a new sim. Got mine about 4 years ago and was told i had an old 2G sim. I didnt know they updated sim cards !!!!!
Ill check the postcode checker on the website and will probably go to the o2 near me. Hopefully Ill pick it near there.
Im not overly bothered about having it where i am, just want to know it works ok.
Regards Jim
Ok guys very strange and a little bit of a long winded story here......
So I am from the UK and have a factory sim free HTC One M7, used in the UK on EE no issues.
I am travelling in Canada so decided to get a Telus Prepaid Sim card, went to the store had it activated and installed today and it was working fine for about 3 hours in Medicine Hat. As I drove out the city it began to lose signal, now the only network I can see under carriers is Rogers.
I tried the sim in my friends phone (samsung s3) and it works fine and picks up signal immediately.
So it MUST be a phone issue, can someone please help me find a solution?

so that means either your phone is locked and it does not allow for overseas carriers. reason you see rogers is thats roaming mode on and connected to Rogers.

Also I bought the phone new sim free???

go to settings and go to apn settings. is it specific to telus? i had kitkat installed but apn settings never saved or let me change it. it was a bug. But in custom roms it was fixed.
anyways these are the apn settings for telus:

option 2) try other sims Bell, rogers, koodoo, fido. if they work then its unlocked phone.
factory reset if anything.
Out of Telus coverage?

Ok I gave up with it in the end and sold the sim card to a friend.
I bought a Rogers sim card as the phone was picking that up quite easily, ow my issue is I am only getting an EDGE connection when I am in an area that supports HSPA+
I'm really beginning to despair.
