Hi all,
First post on this great site - keep up the good work!
I have an issue with my MDA Compact II - I've recently sacked my T-Mobile contract, and have a work contract with Orange, which I now use (I've used Lokiwiz to unlock the phone). Unfortunately my Orange SIM doesn't fully work on my MDA. I can make/receive calls with no problems, but whenever I try to send a text message, the following dialogue pops up:
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."
Well, I could wait for 15 hours and it wouldn't change. I've removed the battery, and left that for an hour, still no difference. I've recently upgraded my ROM to see if that would make a difference - no joy. My current version:
ROM - 2.6.2.27 WWE
Any help would be appreciated - I'm having to use an exceedingly boring Nokia 6021 at the moment! I don't really want to resort to just using my MDA as a PDA! Cheers - let me know if you need further information to answer my question.
Upgrade your Radio stack

Worked for me.
Aparently, the SIM's used in a M3100 are designed specifically for these devices and later. Thats the official line from Orange...Just spoke to them for 45 minutes trying out 5 different devices and they have concluded its a "compatability issue"
I was using an M3100 SIM in an M600...although it DOES work in an E650...
Hope this helps!
I have recently bought a MDA Compact II of a mate of mine. It used to be on T-mobile but has been unlocked and currently has an o2 sim. I have had some problems though. I cant seem to use my o2 GPRS settings in the device, or send MMS messages. When i take a picture using the camera, then go to send in a MMS the device freezes and i can not get back to the main screen. Also, when i try to send a file through MMS using the file manager, nothing comes up.
When i go to send a new message, i click on the menu button and the Insert Item field is greyed out. Does anyone know the problems i am having and how to fix them?
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS: Not much of a problem but wonder if it can be fixed anyway. Is there a way i can change the boot screen picture? It has the t-mobile design at the moment.
Hi. First of all, i'm not tiny bit as knowledgeable as the gurus on this board, but this seems to be solvable by my bird brain, so here goes.
First of all, I think you should do a hard reset and before the T-mobile customisations begin, you should soft reset to prevent T-mobile gprs and mms settings etc from getting installed.
Then you can install or configure O2 settings.
For boot screen, you need to CID unlock your device and then splash the required boot screen. There was quite a discussion in the Charmer forum about this. You might want to check the Charmer threads. Loads of information there.
Hope some of this helps. Cheers.

1.- Settings: Delete all the T-Mobile connections, and create your own according to carrier of the SIM you are using. Doesn´t take much to figure out how to I wouldn´t recommend to stop the customisation where the extended ROM is deployed, you may find useful settings in your Ext ROM.
2.- Splash screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=253308
Good luck!
I have done a soft reset before customization begins, but my o2 details do not seem to want to work when i test them. The splash screen thing looks a little complicated and i will read up on it sometime.
Now for my other problem. Does anyone know why when i click "Send to MMS" after taking a picture the device locks up and i need to soft reset to use the device again. And also why is the "insert item" field greyed out in the menu when creating a new SMS?
By the way thank you for the other advice. I will be reading up on it very soon.
moved to charmer.
since soft and hard resets have proven futile, you may want to try a rom upgrade to see if it makers any difference.

Hi,
I recently "Upgraded" from my good and faithful wizard (Vario I) to the almost as good and almost as faithful TyTN II (Vario III).
After flashing my Wizard, it instantly removed the SIM Lock (Or I dont remember doing any extra steps for doing so).
I recently flashed HSPL and Ive tried a couple of ROMS for the TyTN and while testing around I shoved in a SIM card from another mobile provider, I found out with great surprise that my TyTN II is still SIM locked.
I had been wondering why my device seems so sluggish and slow, could It be I flashed it wrong? Or is it "Normal" for it to be still SIM locked even after flashing the HSPL?
Thanks!
Did you use the sim-unlocker? (you can find it here)
After this step you can use the vario III with every simcard
here it is

Yes it is normal. The roms and spl you flashed are the OS and the bootloader. You havent changed the radio which is the simlocked bit.
