I would like to change network provider from O2-Vodafone but still use my Orbit. Will this work and how would I stop it automatically installing the o2 GPRS settins?
Thanks
hi, i purchased a O2 XDA orbit about 3 weeks ago and the person i purchased it from said it was locked to O2. When i recieved the phone it worked straight away with the vodafone sim card. after reading a few threads it seems as tho the O2 XDA orbit's are unlocked already?
i'm not sure how to stop the O2 settings from starting but im sure i seen somewhere that if you soft reset by pressing the little button on the side with a pin as soon as the o2 settings start that should bypass it??
i cid unlocked mine and flashed the Touch 3 vanilla rom and its running sweet with pocketPBplus 4.0.
it automatically setup the settings for vodafone and i can send and recieve mms and also browse online thru the vodafone gprs
hope this helps as its my first post!

Hi
I have an O2 XDA2 with ROM 1.72.00WWE and Radio 1.17.00, and I've just used xda2unlock v2.2 to get rid of the SIMlock. It appeared to work and I'm not asked for any code when I put a new SIM in, but I get no signal whatsoever. If I put the original O2 SIM back it works fine.
I've tried a Vodafone SIM and Fresh SIM (Fresh is from the Carphone Warehouse, and I believe it uses the T-Mobile network) and it does the same with both. Any help would be much appreciated!

I think you need to TURN OFF the flightmode. Just klick in the homescreen at the symbol, where you should see the signal and waite some seconds. Now you should be able to TURN OFF the flight mode. If it doesn't work, do a Softreset.
Heh, no thats definately not the problem!
I've now sucessfully installed WM2003SE, and still no luck. I'm wondering if its anything to do with the Network options in the Phone Settings, but with the new SIM cards inserted I can't access the settings - "Unable to read settings from the network...".
This is very frustrating because after my contract finished next week I don't want to go back to O2. I thought that once I unlocked the XDA 2 all would be fine, and I can't think what is stopping these SIM cards working :-(

Hi,
I've tried both the 1.5 and 1.6 unlockers and both report success. I have fitted a Vodafone sim and both the sim and network are recognised.
However, if I try making a call the screen shows 'Dialing..' then goes straight to 'Call ended'. If I try phoning the Vodafone number then it is reported as unable to connect. I have tried both soft and hard reset.
The Vodafone sim is valid and works fine in another phone (I no longer have the original O2 sim , it was on a company contract that has been cancelled).
Do I need to set anything to use the Vodafone network or any ideas on gettting this running as a phone again?
Thanks.
Just noticed that under Phone Settings it says Phone Number: Not Available...?

Yep, hard reset at least 3 times now. I've also used the PIN to lock and unlock the SIM so the XDA and SIM are talking.

Hi,
I got my O2 Orbit a day before leaving the UK for Qatar so didn't get a chance to suss this out before I left.
I'm still running on my O2 sim etc. When I arrived the GPRS doesn't register and the GPRS/internet connections etc all keep asking for a modem setup.
Qtel is the operator here but talking to them about roaming internet/gprs connectivity with an xda is fruitless.
I can't get much help out of O2 either....There's got to be a way, there has to be a way.....
Can anybody help at all? Please?
try this
After two or three trips away with o2 device and lots of calls back to the uk my solution was to go through all available networks one at a time and force the device to try data connections I still need to do this five years on even after telling o2 how to connect
Hello all,
I am new here, My name is Lewis, and you all seem like a very clever bunch of people. So i was wondering if you could give me some help with my Defy.
So here we go:
I bought my Defy last week after my Nokia died, it is second hand, and was locked and branded to T-Mobile (UK). I got it unlocked a few days ago, and it unlocked straight the way with the 1st code. So i assumed all was well. After trying to send a message, i realized that it was stuck in 'Emergency Call Only'. After a bit of searching around the interweb, i found that i had to check my APN Settings. The sim card i have is with Tesco Mobile, so i found out the APN settings and all seemed fine. I have tried hard reseting the phone, but still no luck.
It is all standard, so do i have to do any flashing to get it to have signal? Thank you for your help in Advance.
Motorola Defy
Locked to T-mobile
Unlocked to work with Tesco Mobile sim (O2 masts)
4GB memory card
All default.
Edit: When I 1st put the Sim Card in, it has signal for a few seconds before reverting to emergency calls only.
