Was I sold a dud!? - no network problems - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Hello everyone,
Sorry that my first post has to be a request for help, but I recently saw an XDA IIi for sale at a good price and went for it.
I am now thinking that my purchase may have been a little hasty as I can't get any service on it.
I'm in the U.K. and with O2 although apparently the device is unlocked - O2 (providers) cannot help me nor can the slimy type who passed me the semi-brick (for some of my hard earned!)
Bluetooth, WiFi and other features seem to work well, but I cannot find any networks when searching in the start>settings>phone>network> 'find network' or 'set network' even though I have a new SIM with web and GPRS updates.
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the issue?
I'd just like to use the thing I spent money on rather than have to suck up the loss or, perish the thought, sell it on to someone else who might want it.
Any suggestions are much appreciated,
G

anyone?
I'm stumped by this one.

home made car kit incl. the possibilty for gps?

Hi everybody!
Well, it has good and bad effects to life in a poorer country. I bought a xda over ebay and imported it into Hungary where I work and life. I tried to get some kind of a holder for my car....none.
I tried to get a car cit (handsfree kit with no cable for the headset etc, which even offers the possibilty to connect a gps) ...none
I tried to find someone to build me one....full hit!
If anyone can get hold of the plans + maybe some parts, I will have the guy who does the moldering for realy low money. As far as I know there are plans flying arround how to do it but I could not get hold of them. Further I was also not able to get some parts I think one needs for this.
If we take this all and make a circle out of this there is a cheap working solution, my only trouble is I have trpoubles with the parts and plans.
If you can help me we could produce this cheap and everyone can participate.
What do you guzs think about this?
Maybe I look right now as a cut off, being new here but I am not. I run a company here for several years. Being a newbie in something does not mean to have bad ideas.
Flame me, throw things on me or give me bad names, I dont mind. But I believe there more people out there which would like this question solved but do not have the abillities to do it themselves.
Hi hungarian,
I've the same problems but I've found two companies who build special cables or where you can buy plugs with or without open cables. I think the best one is in Germany:

I've wrote him today and wait for an answer.

Please email to me directly to [email protected] for further communication. B.T.W. I was born in East Germany and we will never forget the year 1989 ;-)

if you have the coins are there no companies which are willing to ship to Hungary ?
if not then joining the union should solve that i suppose
answer
shipping and dealing are no troubles. but finding something which is worth the cash is a complete different point. But if you know anything new, please give me the imput and i will be happy.... :wink:

wifi on nike

hey guys,
sorry to start a new thread but couldnt just find a thread where i could ask this question. Let me know if i did a mistake. will not do again...
frankly have been using Niki100 for almost 6 months now and pretty frustrated with no wifi on it. Place were i stay we dont have 3G yet so need to work on edge... very slow and dont enjoy much....
reading the forum got to know a lot of people tried on this but not yet succeeded...i also got an idea that may be in Niki100 they probably dont have a wifi hardware..
i have a Htwc wizard that is not yet bricked and the wifi works...
is their anyway we could get the wifi chip from the wizard into the Niki100 with the drivers somehow and get it to work...
might sound stupid but was a genuine query...
thanks for the reply in advance...
Niki have wifi, but is locked, and seems there is no way to unlock it without any datasheet. Also there is no antenna for it.
And how would you suppose to have the wifi "chip" transferred onto a completely different model, PCB layout etc..? By just soldering?
Wifi isn't just a single chip, it's a chip on a PCB with other chips connected to it in a specific way, conencted to a wifi antennae in a specific way etc etc..
If you really read the other threads, you would have noticed that the problem at this time is the driver/software to get the hardware already present running properly..
So your solution would be to add completely different hardware, if that were at all possible with the completely different circuitboard layout and components, and write software for that specific hardware from scratch when the community isn't as of yet able to get software working for hardware already present..? I would say the chances of getting that working would be really slim.. And then i would be optimistic.
Anyone hear from valvarin and co?
Hi ardennis... he has got a wifi working...
can i know how? what should i do?
So how did you guys get the wi-fi working. Curious if anyone got this done, someone offered to sell me his for 70 bucks and wanted to know if its worth it....

Thanks for the clarification. I'll stick with my HTC Dream and HTC Juno. Nike is not worth it then in my opinion..
The limitation is in the Radio ROM.
Bought the Niki and sold after 15 days (years ago). lol.
you can use wifi if you place a sd card in it with a wifi antenna
it cost around the 50 euro
you can 't most of the wifi cards for PPC's aren't compatible with touch dual for some weird reason
Hi... I want to buy a sd card that allow me wifi connections... can you tell the especifications for this card?

What to do with a lost then found O2 XDA Ignito?

Hi there,
As the title suggests, I lost my XDA Ignito, claimed on my insurance, and then 2 weeks later found the original one (behind the sofa, battery had come out...).
So my question is: what can I do with it? If anything at all?!
I'm not looking to scam anyone (just in case anyone is going to get on their moral high horse about this), but at the moment it's just a lump of plastic and electronics, and surely it could be put to some use?
Could I use it as a second phone? Or should it just become a very expensive paper weight?
It does work (ie turn on), but I haven't put a sim in to try it.
Anyone's thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
HPJ
Did you report as lost to your network?
If you did the IMEI will be blocked, so you wouldn't be able to use it as a phone,however the Diamond/Ignito has a lot more features than just a phone:you could use it as a GPS device or a WiFi net tablet.
If you have not reported it to your Network provider then the phone function might still work. Although the insurance company might have listed on the stolen phone database. I believe the database is called CheckMEND .
But however legally it is now property of the insurance company so don't do anything stupid like register it for insurance or take it to service centre.
Hope I was helpful,
Yes you were helpful, thank you. And apologies for the late reply - I was not subscribed to receive notifications of any replies.
Ok, so I basically have a Diamond I can use for Sat Nav / Music and whatever else. Seeing as I now have a new phone (moved to iphone and very very happy!), I guess the old Ignito will sit around gathering dust.
Cheers

Calling T-Mobile for G1 Unlock

Hey there guys. Please don't be angry for making another ****ty "how to unlock G1" thread. I wanted to post in the recent one, but i guess it got closed.
Well here is my question. I'm about to trade my TyTn II for G1. The problem is that the G1 is bought in Austria(T-Mobile) and i live in Slovenia. If i'm gonna call T-Mobile what should i say? My english isn't all that great, but i think i can handle it. The only problem is, if they are gonna speak German...
Lets say, they speak english. What should i say? I don't think you just say:" hey could you give me the code to unlock my G1?"
Maybe i'm a little annoying, but if there is anyone who is willing to help, i will be very grateful.

Think the policy is a lil different in other countries other than the US. We would normally say we are going out of the country so we need to unlock it to use an alternate sim. But in the UK they charge a fee unless you have been a customer for over a certain amount of time. I know its alot longer than the 90 days we have.
So there is no way to unlock it?
Edit: This is legit right? http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/
Cause if there isn't other way i'll just pay those 19€. That isn't so expensive.

My advice is buy one off eBay. Reasoning being, any website like that can make all the fake testimonies they want, and you could get screwed very easily. If you go to ebay you can choose a seller with good feedback who is clearly legit. I think I got mine from GSMcredits or something...

Thanks for the advice! That really helped me. I went to search over Ebay and found some interesting offers. And they are actually cheaper then the site i gave you link before!
Anyway, i think this is 100% legit, since this seller is very popular.

Calling T-Mobile only works if you are a current customer. If you aren't (and I assume that is the case) then find someone who is to call for you.

As long as they give you the correct code it will work on any G1, so you should be fine. That seller looks legit, due to the high rating too.

Thanks for the answer! I'm getting my G1 on Monday then!
Yay. I got my white G1 today and i bought a code of ebay from the guy mentioned few posts above. Payed 10€ and got the code within 15min. Phone is now unlocked and i can't be more satisfied! G1 is awesome
Sweet, I had to unlock mine the first week cuz tmobile gets bad service here. The first site you posted is where I got my code, so they are legit. And don't worry about rooting and flashing roms because it wont mess up your unlocked status.

Cool. Thanks for the info!
Just thought I'd add that I've (just) used the guy mentioned above (ebay profile link) to have my UK G1 unlocked and it worked just fine.
The code came within 10 minutes, tested and works OK.
Cheers,
Smiffy.

[Q] Hi there - Specifically for uk/london people

Hi there,
First post so first up let me just say hey been lurking on here for awhile but never needed to post before! I seem to have had the worst luck ever, purchased two samsung phones first off a galaxy s2 off ebay which I was really looking forward to using and then an s8000 from cex which I wasn't looking forward to using so much. I've spent a lot of time unlocking and sim unlocking them only to find out they are both IMEI blocked, I've spent a lot of money on them and even when i've taken them into the operators they have been no help even going so far as suggesting I have stolen both of them. I don't really want to give up on either phone but spending £100 on a z3x box just for two phones is a bit much, so I wanted to know if there's anyone in london with a z3x box who would be willing to help me. I understand that it probably looks a bit dodgy asking on a new account like this but I can only assure you of my sincerity. I'll understand if no one is willing to help but if anyone is could they please get in touch with me.
Thanks for your time.
You need to get your money back from ebay and cex, shouldn't be a problem, always get imei no before buying, if they don't provide it, they are hiding something
