sorry for the silly question, but im new to this windows mobile, is there anyway of finding out if my diamond is a gsm or cdma type phone thanks for your help.
Type?
My understanding is that CDMA devices don't have a SIM card, so you could check that first?
ok thanks for your quick reply. my phone does have a sim card so i presume its a gsm phone.

HI
I have Audiovox PPC-660 CDMA and I want to upgrade to GSM There was option on the back of the PDA to solder a SIM Jacket so I did solder the jacket but since the software is for Telus CDMA it doesn't recognize the SIM card. Can anyone PLEASE help me upgrading this Blue Angel to GSM to any company either Audiovox/IMate/SimmonsBenQ etc.
I'm unable to get the information using the Getdevice data file.
It only give me PH20A2 and thats it. I tried installing other roms but pc give error message that the device is not compatible and does nothing
I got the following information from the Pocket PC startup
P A.A.33301
R HA01_147
D 2.04.00_wwe
I just wanna be able to use it with SIM card.
ALL GURUS..PLAESE HELP!!!
that is not for a gsm sim but rather for a cdma uim.. hardware is completely different.. if you want to upgrade for cheap buy a cracked screen sx66 and swap in the board,and back cover... that should get you set
oh thats a nice idea.. I'll look around meanwhile
Hi Guys,
My Kaiser arriving tomoz to replace aging m3100 (Orange TTyN), but as I share a business contract and need the Kaiser, we have needed to switch Sims on our phones, hence I only have a none-3g sim for my kaiser.
Question is thus;
Do I need it to be a 3G sim to use HSPDA? I understand HSPDA is 3g 1.5 or something, but wanted to clarify the issue.
If no good, how can I get a 3g sim into the phone but retain the number? Orange don't want to play ball, as I have suggested they can 'upgrade' the Sim with new code etc.? ( yes, a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.. )
Any help and advice would be much appreciated..
Cheers
I phoned orange they sent new 3G sim two days ago though mine was on PAYG.
My old sim only got GPRS.
The new sim has a number to phone to register it. Follow the prompts...The rep will ask you for the new sim card number and apply it to your phone.
After you put the new sim card in you'll get a text telling you to switch the phone off then on... then presto HSDPA
Make sure you specify that you want a 3G sim card else they'll try and send you a normal one
Yeah I dont follow at all...
Orange are anal about sim's with devices. You should register the new sim you get with your device and they will change it to your old number within a few hours.
I'm running a Kaiser on T-Mobile and I get HSPDA whenever its available. I don't have 3G service so I think you should get the max Data connection available when its available.
Thanks for tips Guys !
As I have found on other parts of these forums, plenty of great advice given quickly ! Cheers
Just to get this straight, as its a business phone and I cant screw it or lose my number...
Problem is, as I swapped phones with my Bro who I work with, there is already a phone using the number provided on the new sim... So I cant register the new sim.
Orange are ANAL about their sims, and ANAL about removing TouchFlo (Grrr) bunch of ANAL freaks if you ask me..
Anyhoo,
Could I register the sim, and give MY number, and they will register to that number? Orange Bod says there is NOTHING that can be done, NO WY to solve the situation, but you guys are so much smarter than them...
Keep it coming ! Is it poss. to re-code the sim to 3g using a simcard reader? should I find out where Head orange guy lives and shake him warmly by the throat?
I am buying an HTC Diamond from someone tomorrow and I was wondering, do I need to be hooked up to the Sprint service to use this thing or can I run it like I run my tmobile phones...without the sim card. Thanks for answering guys.
yes, you could unlock it & flash to other CDMA operator
or if you have wifi around.. simply use wifi connection,
no need to unlock or flash it...
Alright. Thanks for the answer
Hello everybody!
I just bought HTC TP2 (not new) The exact model is PPC6875US.
I have some general questions about it. The guy said that the phone is unlocked. I put my SIM card ( bulgarian gsm career ) but I cant find network. The phone says - "No Service" and I am not able to chose network manually - but I have some in "Set Networks". My career is also there.
So here is the question. Should I change my radio to be able to get roaming here (in USA) and then to change it again then I come back to Bulgaria ?
The current software is:
ROM 2.01.573.3
Radio 2.18.00WV
PRL 15088
PRI 1.63_027
General question - my phone should be CDMA & GSM , so which HardSPL should I use ?
I am sorry if the questions are stupid but I was reading the forum threats last 2 days and I got very confused :/
Thank you
P.S. This is my first WM phone, so any help will be welcome
ok, first off, be very careful when flashing radios to make sure you pick the correct type ! (CDMA or GSM) You can permanently brick your phone by flashing the wrong type of radio.
It sounds like you have a CDMA phone, but to double-check, have a look at the model number, which is written underneath the battery. If it's a CDMA phone then it will be "RHOD400" or "RHOD500". If it is indeed a CDMA phone, then even though there's a SIM card slot and the phone can talk to GSM networks, you must *only* flash CDMA radios. You also need to use CDMA ROMs and CDMA HardSPL.
Right now you're in the wrong forum if you have a CDMA phone. Go into the CDMA sub-forum and you'll find HardSPL, radios and ROM links under there, and you should be able to find better advice about how to use a GSM network on your phone.
This isn't ROM development. Should be moved.
Seems like a reasonable question for this forum to me, just that it should probably be either in the radio sticky thread or the HardSPL sticky thread.
Of course it's a reasonable question, but not for this forum
This should be posted in the General Rhodium section.
Hi guys,
Im trying to use a different sim in my orange (uk) phone. But the different sim is not recognised and no codes are asked for?
Entering *#7465625# I find that all of my locks are off, so does this mean im sim locked?
Ive been googling for ages but im still not 100% sure as most threads for removing sim lock state make sure network lock is on.
Sorry if this is a dumb thread but any help would be appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try to install otherfilmware with csc+code+pda and check with other sim,hope it will work
My current sytem is
PDA I9000XXJPY
CSC I9000OXAJPY
Sorry im still fairly new to this, do you mean custom firmware? or other standard?
Thanks again
fos
Dont apply new firmware just for a non working sim .
What network you on and did you enter the details of that network manually .
network details are on the networks web site .
jje
My home network is orange UK and the network settings were set up automatically.
When I put the New sim in (cable and wireless) I get an icon near the battery showing no sim inserted but all locks are off?
Duff sim card ??? first question .
jje
I tried it on a friends phone and it seemed to recognise it ok (we didnt try to phone out or txt tho).
Ive had trouble connecting to gmail and the market, so have done a factory reset and will try the sim card again tonight and post results.
thanks

It may be an old type sim you are using that is not recognised by the phone. Can you get a new one? I must admit I have not heard of Cable and Wireless having a UK network. Live n learn eh.
Sorry for the delay in posting.
Tehpriest im not currently in the Uk at the moment, so I bought the C & W as it gives better rates than roaming with orange
The new sim card works fine in a friends HTC but still is not recognised by my galaxys.
Looking closely at the sim, the gold contact is physically larger than the orange sim (sim card size is still the same tho), could this be the reason?
seems strange as my friends original sim is the the same dimensions as my orange yet he can use the C & W.
Any ideas anyone?
