Hi,
I've just got my Tytn II and bought seperately a T-Mobile UK SIM to use it with. When I switch the unit on I get a warning message saying "Smartchip not provisioned MM#2". I can't then connect to the network- I just the "no service" message.
The phone detects all the available networks fine, and I swapped in an O2 SIM from my old universal, and it worked immediately- so the Kaiser is working fine.
I tried Googling the error without success, so you guys are pretty much my last resort... I see from this forum that some people seem to have it working on T-Mobile UK.
I hope it's something really stupid that I'm not doing! Does anyone have any ideas on this?
I've been reading these forums for a few years now, but this is my first actual post. I know if anyone can help, you guys can

I have my TyTN II working on T-Mobile fine. I just put the SIM card in and it worked.
Maybe you have an old SIM which is not fully compatible. How old is the SIM.
It's a brand new SIM, only arrived on Friday.
I'm waiting for another unlocked phone to try the SIM on to see if it is defective. THanks for the reassurance that yours is working- it gives me some hope!
So may be T-Mobile's reasons for delaying the Vario III were actually true!!!
Mine's working fine
Old SIM as well, around 18 months old!
I can also say that my T-Mobile sim is working fine and this is about 14months old, just put it in and installed my T-Mob 3g/mms setting myself and all is well.
Can browse the web receive push email and send mms no problem at all.
must be the new sim, try activating the sim on another phone first if it has not been activated yet, and then once activated and working, put it back in the kaiser. does seem very strange though.
Same here, auto-configure settings working perfectly!
Although it seems to have setup a separate connection for Picture messaging... has yours done that?! Can i just delete that and tell it to use the normal 3G connection? :S
Try T-Mob support
Either take it back to the shop or contact them via the website, I've found them quite responsive on the few occasions I've used them.

Real good phone, ... but nothings perfect
bij Anonymous - maandag 10 september 2007
Its the best ppc i've had, but not flawless like everyone loves to say. 1. The slider is implemented backwards. No, this is not just something trivial because the rotate screen button and the camera both rotate the screen wrong. Also its not convenient for right-handed people. 2. The stylus should drop in at the top, not the bottom. 3. There is no hardware control for the volume. 4. You have to buy an adapter to use regular headphones. 5. Google maps keeps losing the gps signal (although tomtom works fine). Also t-mobile can't take advantage of this phones 3g capabilities which is unfortunate. Every other review is going to say this phone is the greatest invention since god, but I just wanted to point out its not perfect. That said, I am still happy with my purchase and would recommend it.
PLease note the text in Red, what might that mean ??
Maybe it was referring to US T-Mobile, since it is supposed to use 1700 when the 3G is going live?
I haven't seen a lack of 3g mentioned for T-Mobile UK, but may be the Netherlands are different. My problem is more that I can't even get it to connetct to the network... I'm going to try the SIM in a different phone tonight and see if it's broken.
Churchill,
That is not true!
I use T-Mobile NL and subscribed to "Pocket Internet Totaal Plus" :
- Max 192 Kbit/sec download
- Max 32 Kbit/sec upload (if I am not mistaken)
- 19.95 euro / month
- Unlimited usage
My SIM card is very old, I have been using it since few years ago.
The T-Mobile NL 3G is working just fine.
I got the "3G" icon all the time and managed to test the connection with dslreports.com and got 144 Kbit/sec.
Yesterday I tested the internet connection sharing, so I connected the Kaiser to the internet and plugged it to the laptop.
It worked fine! The speed was constant 30 KBytes/sec (tested by downloading big file).
So, I confirmed you that T-Mobile NL is working fine.
PS: One thing that still puzzled me, why dont I get HSDPA (3.5G) connection??? The "H" icon. I tought that T-Mobile has HSDPA already.
Maybe if I subscribed to "Internet Totaal Plus" (1.8 Mbit/sec, 69.95 euro / month) I will get HSDPA ... but, it is toooooo expensive!

Gogol, thatnx for the reasurance.. I am right now on the Pocket internet Totaal woth 64kbps and once I prolong I want to take the Plus version for 19,95 since the first year is half the price.
I beleive that H icon shows only if you go to HSDPA speeds. I was able to reach those speeds of up to 1Mbps on my current subscription (pocket internet Totaal) because there was a whole in the ssytem by T-Mobile. If you get the Pocket Internet Totaal in T-Mobile shop (mind you onlyu t-mobile shop) you were able to just surf in HSDPA. That lasted about 10 months for me after which they capped the connection to 64 Kbps so I am a real unhappy man right now, so Once the Keiser is availbale by my reseller I am going to take the Plus version for 19,50 a month.....
Gogol,
Are you Dutch??
Original Issue fixed
Just a note to report that my original problem seems to be fixed. I just put the SIM card in another phone and it worked. Then transferred it back to my Kaiser and the error had gone.
I have no UMTS, but I'm pretty sure I just haven't found the right setting. Does anyone know if T-mobile UK has HSDPA yet?
Churcill, No I am not Dutch. But I live and work here in the Netherlands for couple of years already. Love the country
I can understand Dutch pretty much, but no speak
And you?

T-Mobile UK allows HSDPA although dependent on what handset you signed up for with them you may not have it enabled on your account. For example if you bought say a Vario II from them then this is now enabled by default on the account. You may need to speak to 150 to get it enabled.

I am using Vario II on T-Mobile UK, it DOES have HSDPA, I got the H icon. You need to ask them to activate the HSDPA service for you if they haven't done so.
Ah, I see .. no I am not Russian Gogol was picked out of nowhere
The Pocket Internet Totaal Plus (PITP) is quite nice, although the network latency is still pretty much high. Sometimes lagging for several seconds
T-Mobile NL is still the cheapest 3G provider, right? I havent checked around yet (will do after this).

Hi guys...sorry if this is already answered here, but I just got a supposedly 'unlocked' AT&T Tilt from eBay and put in my Rogers SIM card. It seems to work OK on the data side of things - gleefully accessing the internet and even syncing my email, but I can't get the voice calls to work. Even shows '3G' for the data connection.
Whenever anyone calls me, they get a couple of rings and it goes to my voicemail. If I try to call out, it dials, then immediately ends the call when it tries to connect.
The SIM card is OK I know, since it works in my Eten X500 just fine.
Do I have to do something to the phone to completely remove the AT&T stuff?
Help...I love the phone, but if it won't make voice calls....
Thanks.

I had this same problem on ATT in the US. They kept trying to tell me it was a problem with my phone, although I knew this wasnt the case because I had 2 tilts in a row that did this. I called them and eventually got through to a higer level tech, tier 2 I think. I'm not completely sure what he did but he fixed it. It was a problem on their end.
I was able to use data as well, just no calls. It would drop them as soon as I made them.
Call Rogers, they will probably work it out.
You need to flash your tilt with a different version of radio and it will work.

Thanks... any particular suggestions? I'm thinking of flashing the unit with QMobile 1.2, but I don't think that comes with a radio ROM...I guess I should pick one up from the Upload area?
Thanks again for the help.

I may give that a try, but Rogers doesn't provide support for phones they don't sell. I think I will be SOL once they find out I'm connecting with a 'non-standard' phone.

rogers is really bad when it comes to supporting phones they don't have. You may want to call them and lie, and say you and a TYTN instead of a Tilt, and see if they will try to help.
That being said, I know about 3 guys that have gotten either a TYTN II or a Tilt in the Vancouver area and have popped in their SIM card and everything has worked just fine, including myself. Have you tried flashing a different radio - I am using 1.27.12.17 - perhaps the At&T radios don't work in Canada?...just a thought
here is a link to the radio thread, where you can download the 1.27.12.17 radio...

OK, the radio I currently have is 1.27.12.11. Do I have to HardSPL before I install the new radio? Also, I notice you've SuperCID unlocked as well... do I need to do that also?
Thanks for the link to the radio file.
/drt
Well, I got it to work, but...
The ongoing saga continues....
a) HardSPL'd and Flashed in a new radio 1.27.12.17. No change.
b) Played with the network settings a bit, and could occassionally get the phone to 'downgrade' to an Edge cx, and voila! the phone started working. But AT&T's software doesn't give me the option to 'hold' it there.
c) Talked to Rogers tech support -- pretty helpful really. They asked for the # of my SIM card and said it wasn't a '3G' card (it IS pretty old) and suggested I get a new one from the local guys. Went up, got one for free (since I gave them my old one) and tried it -- No luck, same problem.
d) Flashed QMobile 1.2 ROM -- still getting the at&t screen on initial startup, but everything else seems good and the HTC-ish stuff it's supposed to be.
e) Went to configure the phone band settings. If I leave them on 'Auto', it finds the Rogers 3G network and hooks up, but the same problem arises -- when it finishes dialing and tries to connect, it just ends the calls. And incoming calls go directly to my voicemail. HOWEVER, if I specifically configure it for GSM network and the 1900+850 bands, then it locks onto Edge and the phone works fine.
I guess it's back to tech support with Rogers to see what they have to say about my account, etc.
Very Weird.

Yup...from that thread, the description sounds EXACTLY like the difficulties I'm experiencing. It appears to be a hardware failure... Unfortunately, I bought from a guy on eBay, so I'm not sure I can send it in for repair. It works on Edge though, and that will be good enough for now.

Hello guys, i'm about to pull my hair out from frustration! I have an unlocked Tilt, on T-Mobile running on the HTC windows 6.1 Rom and for some reason i cannot send or receive text messages if i leave a good distance from my house!
Once i'm near my house by a block or so i'll receive and send text messages no problem, but there are patches around my town where i can't send or receive it. I tried switching my Sim card to an older phone and texting where i couldn't text on my Tilt, and the texts went through no problem, i just need to know if it's my phone or the carrier's fault. I plan on testing my Tilt and Wing in the same area's to see if that can shed some light, but i need help!

What's the reception like? You might try flashing a new radio, might give you better reception in some patches. What wm6.1 rom/radio are you using?
Currently my Rom Version is 3.03.405.0 WWE
Radio Version 1.64.06.04
I've tried countless rom's at first i thought it was because of windows 6.1 so i tried the HTC Windows 6.0 rom which didn't work either.
If you think i could use a better rom would you please let me know, i'm willing to do anything to fix this problem!
Thanks
i think it has nothing to do with a better rom...its just if the radio is fitting for the location u are at

well i don't know for sure that changing the radio will make any difference but it might help. you're having that trouble just with the sms huh? and always only in those areas?
Yeah it seems touch and go, in some places it refuses to work, but in others, such as my home it works flawlessly. It even worked on the freeway on the way to Canada, and even in Canada on Roger's network. I tried calling T-Mobile and they thought it was weird how it works in some areas but not others.

Please make a follow-up post to let us know what your findings are. It's an interesting problem you're having, and your data could be very useful for this and other issues!
So far tried a number of different radios and still haven't fixed the problem, but i've singled out the problem as the Phone, as i tried texting in places where i couldn't with my Tilt, on 2 different phones, one being the Tmobile Wing and they went through with no problems.
I'm gonna try Dutty's 6.1 rom and see if that changes anything, i'm pretty much trying anything that works now.

So just to be clear, when you use an unlocked Tilt on T-Mobile's network, you have difficulty receiving text messages. But when you put your SIM into a T-Mobile phone (Wing), text messages come through fine? If I understood your posts correctly, and my summarization is accurate, then it sound to me as if the Tilt is having problems accessing data services when its roaming off T-Mobile's network.
I would make a note of 3-5 specific areas where you have problems with SMS (ie 300 Block of N Maple Ave), and then call T-Mobile and ask them where their closest cell tower(s) is/are to those areas.
If my memory serves correct, T-Mobile uses GSM 1800/1900 in the US, but AT&T is still mostly 850/1900, and the Tilt may have issues receiving SMS messages while on a GSM 850 tower. You mentioned that the phone worked in Canada on the Rogers network, maybe they are on 1800/1900. Can someone from Canada confirm this last part??
These are just some thoughts of mine as I mindlessly watch TV, so who knows, I could be entirely wrong...

Hmmm interesting, now if i informed T-Mobile of this problem is there any way to remedy it without having to go back on a Tmobile phone?
is your tilt set to text through gprs or gsm? that might make the difference..

If it is an issue with GSM 850, then you may be stuck with running cooked ROMs based off of AT&T originals since their network still supports this frequency. To my knowledge there are no WM 6.1 ROMs with an AT&T base currently available.
It could also be a hardware issue... The section of flash memory on your device that stores the radio could have bad sectors (GSLEON3 would be someone who may be able to help you check this).
How did you come to get the Tilt? If you know someone with AT&T service, you can have them put their SIM in and then call AT&T Warranty and get the phone replaced under the 1 year warranty.
EDIT-
Second thought... Have you tried to force the phone into 1800/1900 GSM through the Band Settings tab under Settings --> Personal --> Phone --> Band ?
Currently it's set as GSM, do you think i should change it to GPRS?

Hmm i didn't even think to check their, i'm going to try it right now and report back.
EDIT- So should i be setting it at GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100) or GSM(1900+850)+UTMS(1900+850)?
WOW, Finally, thanks everyone for help but forcing the phone into the GSM 1800 band worked now i can finally fully enjoy my Tilt, Thanks once again!
Hello All,
I bought a prepay Side-Kick Tmobile sim card in Memphis today, after activating it and toping it up. I put it in my Kaiser. Auto connection setup started nicely and found tobile USA settings.. whoever, I am unable to attatch to the data network.. when ever I try and connect, the E with arrow icon starts working around, but then it stops and a message reading: Cannot connect for unknown reason (then it goes on about changing settings etc)
I looked everywhere for answers, (as I id like to think im more intelligent than just asking a question that could be dumb :-D) but i could not find a thing that worked about this.. and the things i did find were not helpful..so apologies in advance if there was an obvious place for my answer but i missed it some how..
The Device Information is:
ROM: Dutty WM6.1 WWE (CE OS 5.2.19716, build 19209)
Date: 04/01/08
Radio: 1.64.08.21
Protocol Version: 25.74.40.02H
I would hope that someone can help me, as i am desperately needing to get connected... im visiting from the UK and my silly sim card malfunctioned and i can no longer get online :-(
Many Thanks

Sidekick data tries to connect to Danger (manufacturer of SKs) Servers for internet connection, any other devices will not work on that service. You need to use the service that they offer for regular cell phones called Tzones or the data plan for smartphones

I tried the file (its one of the solutions i found and didnt work before posting).. what it did that it refused to even try and connect. it was something to do with having the Prixy settings active..so really im not sure what to do..
I tried to get through to Tmobile CS, but im almost sure that they will have no clue on what to do, but i was too late in the evening, so I will try tomorrow..
Any more ideas are Warmyl welcommed!
Thanks
from what i've read it seems that the sidekick data plans will not work on our devices.. as i was planning to do the same thing it seems that only the unlimited text would work not the data probably due to the fact that the data connects through danger which would detect that it's not a sidekick.. i was disappointed to find this out b4 as well
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
So what does a man have to do to get access to get pay as you go mobile access( in the US)!? does any one know any other service provider that would sell me a prepay sim that will have some kinda daily data package?

I totally agree! I ran into the same problem as you. I am in the USA for 3 weeks and want a cheap (prepaid) mobile data connection. The best option seems to be: T-Mobile Total Internet Plan $40 month-by-month unlimited EDGE + WiFi.

The Sum of All Fears!
Well to sum up,
I managed to get through to tmobile CS, they confirmed what was mentioned before about Side Kick servers. so the anser is No to all other devices besides to "side kick" (the handset)..so no Kaiser, or anything else!
I guess that i will have a new addition to my sim collection!
Many thanks to all that gave thier opinion and tried helping out

i actually had the same problem. and i downloadede a Dutty Tmobile set up worked wonders! make sure you install it to device .
i downloaded the zip onto my memory card. inserted it into phone searched my memory card opened the zip and used the DUTTY tool to set up connection. installed the program onto device and once installed you will need to do a soft reset in. once the phone comes back on it will prompt you to set up the tmobile connection.
hope it helped
Before i decided to flash a new rom i had been having issues with my phone getting, and staying connected. At first to just data connections, ie 3G. So i decided to try a cooked rom for the first time.
But since then i've had even more troubles getting my phone connected and keeping it connected. Ive been through Hyperdragon III Opal, Dutys latest rom, and now im on the latest AT&T rom, and still im having troubles. Ive hand entered in the Media net connection info so many times ive got it memorized, ive even tried cabs, turning proxy on or off, and just plaing letting it sit for a while. It seems as though every time i try something new it might for a second but next thing i know i lose connection and can't get it again without restarting my phone.
If it helps im currently using HardSPL 3.56, and my phone is running the AT&T ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE and radio 1.65.21.18
This is a very urgent issue for me as in my job i use my phones internet almost daily.
Ok for a while there with the stock AT&T rom it was working just fine. I went to start adding in a few cabs and it was like my phone once again decided to hate me.
Im not trying shogunmarks DeathV4.1 and have NotATreoFans AT&T v3.2.5 Loaded downloading in case the other doesn't work. I don't even really care about having a really awesome cooked rom, working is about all i am after right now.
UPDATE: Tried both of those ROMs to no effect. ive now broke down and rolled back to the original ROM and SPL that came on my phone when i bought it from the store. I pray this at least gets it working long enough for the Touch Pro to come out and me to get enough money to buy one out of contract. Still if anyone has any ideas im all ears.
Ok i hate adding a new reply or bumping this but now things are getting desperate. I have been through checked and changed every setting, tried everything. now its not just data, the phone itself wont work as a phone. Calls wont go out or come in. If someone trys calling my phone it never goes through, it wont even go to voice mail. This makes no sense at all.
All that comes to mind at this point is a defective phone. If you bought the phone new, then it has a 1 year warranty on it, and AT&T will replace it for you. If it's been less than 30 days, then just box it up and go to an AT&T store for a full exchange.

Set the phone band to GSM manually and see if you can make phone calls. If that works then search for 3G problems. There are a lot of bad devices which suffer 3G not working.

How did you set-up your data connection? Manually or automatic config?

Yea i downloaded BandSwitch last night on a hunch it was just 3G, and low and behold my phone works fine on EDGE. I can make calls, and get the data connection working.

I have tried doing it all by hand, cabs, and even the auto connection wizard. As i discovered last night it wasn't my settings but 3G just not working at all.
Thanks everyone
UPDATE: I called support after rolling my phone back to its original shipped ROM and SPL, and man did the guy at the call center almost crap when he heard how early of a ROM i was using. He said i have to install the newest update first then if its still borken (considering ive had the newest one on here before, i already know the answer to that) that they will send me a new one since im still in my warranty period Yea for customer support
