Help! How to use Dopod P800W with Cingular?

I just bought a Dopod P800W over sea. When I returned the States, I tried my Cingular SIM card but the system told me that it is unable to connet to the network (with a number 31041 (error code ???)). I have tried to choose the provider manually through the network wizard. However, only several providers from some asian contries are avaible in the list. Is there anyone know how to add additional providers to the network wizard to make the phone work in the States? or should I update the ROM... Any comments and suggestions are highly apprecaited. Thank you.

well,
i am usind the dopod rom on my german hero. the network wizard does not list my provider, nevertheless it locks into my provider and displays all services as usual.
this could be due to me having unblocked my device so that all sim / providers can be used. i cannot imagine the network wizard to be solely responsible for you not being able to use your provider!!! once you r thinking about unblocking and paying for it, you might want to consider cid-unlocking it via imei-check.co.uk.

I am having the EXACT same problem. I am an AT&T/Cingular blue customer and cant get my phone to work. I purchased the phone in Thailand. Every other phone I've purchased there are unlocked out of the box so I dont know why this one would be any different. Is it possible that this phone is locked to a small group of asian networks?
If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be appreciated.

O2 roaming GPRS not working

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

WM6 -Simultaneous GPRS+ Connections

(I apologize ahead if this may be "common knowledge" for WM-I'm on a huge catch up on the WM platform and still learning)
For the past few weeks I've gone through Exchange mail hell and various e-mail services and eventually settled on BlackBerry Connect. One of the issues I run into on various cooked ROMs is whether it's hex edited to CE 5.1 (a many thanks JJ on BE) but this is easy to work with. The major problem is a good portion of my 8525 is accessing cingular's APN and not Blackberry's.
The question is is WM capable of simultaneious data connections to both APNs: cingular (US) and blackberry.net or is there a software solution to do this?
There was one case that I've found throughout searching a few too many threads where the member claimed to be able to surf the internet and check e-mail on WMXL .20 but I had no luck on it.
Thanks to everyone.

I am using the BB connect and have had both APN showing up in the "bubble". I wanted to find out if I could surf using the BB APN only as is done on say the Pearl. Or would I need the APN from the cell provider as well. Presently both are on the Sim so I cannot chk.
Want to remove the GPRS APN that I used initially. Will I be able to surf the net using the BB APN.

Interesting that you were able to get both connections in the "bubble" but are you able to use data from the carrier APN while still tranferring data from BB's APN and you're curious on whether we can cut our data plans and move to BIS and be ok? I was wondering the same if so and if I knew that BIS on a non BlackBerry device would work, I'd just tell Cingular that I've got an 8800 and need BIS. Then the 8525 could access both internet and e-mail on one connection.
The thought does come up of whether 2G or 3G/HSDPA would still come in ok on a BIS plan on a 3G device but I would imagine that the speeds are independent of data plans and dependent on hardware only.

O2 UK 3G help appreciated.

Hello everybody,
I apologise in advance if there exists an answer elsewhere, but I have been searching for the past week to no avail. I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to the right thread/direction.
I upgraded from my stock mda vario2 rom, to the latest schaps (WM6).
Everything works ultra fine but I there is no 3G! I have tried a few different radios and right now i'm on 1.43. I still cannot make video phone calls. The icon is stuck on G. I'm in east london btw.
I believe my O2 uk settings are right though , to te best of my novice knowledge that is.
Again I apologise if this is already addressed in another thread or wiki. Mods, please delete my post if it is a repitition.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers!

you have a tmobile phone or an o2 phone? goto phone settings and check its set to auto

Thanks for the reply,
I have the t-mobile's mda vario2. Tried that already but its still on G.

i have the same problem with an orange 3100. it will only find G not 3G. i have even tried swapping sims but no luck. i have tried all the different settings cabs i can find but no luck

i'm using an orange spv m3100 with no problems on o2uk, and i had 1.43 until yersterday.
o2's signal seems to be inferior to that of orange; i.e. 3g reception not as good
for example i do not get a 3g signal at home on o2, but did on orange, however i do get a 3g signal outside and in other places (on o2)

goggle the site for the field test software.

Call O2 customer service and ask whether you have 3G access activated on your SIM card. I have bought O2 pay as you go SIM card some time ago and it did not access 3G at all, since the very beginning on any 3G phone. Somewhere on the receipt or SIM pack (don't remember now) I've found sth like 'SIM 2G' so that way I figured out card is not meant to log into 3G. But I never bothered to call CS anyway, as I very rarely use that SIM.

Thanks guys,
I'll try all ur suggestions, I did try swapping sims with my wife, hers is an O2 sim which actually has the letter 3G on it, but nope its still Ging on me. I will give O2 a call.

HTC HD2 Restricted connection to T-Mobile

I have an unlocked HD2 with an o2 sim. When I try to change GPRS connection settings I cannot select any network other than the original T-Mobile. The auto option is disabled. I'm not fussed about the T-Mobile splash screen but I do need to be able to connect to the o2 network (GRPS). Phone / text is fine. Any suggestions? I would like to avoid flashing the rom if poss. Roger

I have a HD2 locked to T-Mobile, all of the internet settings are obviously pre-configured for that network.
I'm not sure how to change them but I'm pretty certain you can get O2 to send you the GPRS the settings directly to the handset as long as they have the device or they may not support it.

T-Mobile
Unfortunately that isn't possible (HTC & o2 advised). Also there is no option on the connectivity wizard to update the list of telephone providers (that surprised HTC!). Presumably there is a regkey missing / overidden. Any ideas out there?
Rog

i got the same problem. theres no alternative to write a new rom to your hd2.
after that i could easily download the o2 settings...
theres a thread somewhere here to show you how its done
good luck.
