What they are talking about is UMA (google it for details) which basically allows you to route GSM traffic over an Internet connection via WiFi.

It's supported on Blackberries, some non-smart-phones (dumb phones), and the touch 3G. It's not supported on any of the other WM or Android devices.

Maybe someone on here can mod up a ROM for the rhodium to support this? It would need the radio from an Orange build of the Touch 3G. There may be other aspects to this as well.
[General Topics] zoomee:
yep the dude who likes trees is right ;) - UMA is only supported on certain phones - one model of nokia, most blackberries and one model of HTC device - The Touch 3G. As far as I was aware though you need an Orange Livebox in order for it to work (Orange's broadband router).

It seems to work as I have a number of users using it at home with work provided phones (mainly crackberries) in areas of no orange reception- but from what I've heard in terms of feedback they're Orange Livebox isn't that great at range and also picks up allot of interference (one user regularly complains it keeps dropping connection).
[General Topics] matttytn2:
thanks everyone that was what i thought. i will just have to get a nice ilegal orange gsm repeater on ebay then :)
[General Topics] markatmgpc:
My work blackberry works UMA over any wireless network that I have connected to, none of them are orange boxes or orange broadband.

At work we have mostly BT broadband with various routers and wifi access points - Draytek, cisco, dlink, 2wire from bt and at home I have talktalk with huawei and linksys access points.

Just wish I could get uma for other win mobile.

[General Topics] radiohead319:
It's not technically correct, but might in effect be true if your phone supports UMA. This effectively routes a GSM call over your WiFi/ADSL and then via internet in Orange's circuit-switched core network. As a result if you previously could not make calls in your home on GSM, magically you now will be able to when within range of your router. They market the service as Unik or Unyk phone.
[General Topics] radiohead319:
By the way the Orange UK Unyk/Unik service does not need an Orange Livebox or ISP to work - it is the "open ISP" variety of UMA

[Hero, G2 Touch General] winmarc:
Hi,

My Hero doesn't function properly with my provider LUXGSM here in Luxembourg. The data connection always gets disconnected after a few minutes in sleep mode.

When the Hero is unlocked, the internet connection is again established after few seconds. Gmail and other apps that need Internet connection doesn't work while the phone is on standby.

My provider doesn't get this issue fixed. Since three months I am in contact with teir helpdesk but they neither have a solution nore they know what exactly the cause for the problem is.

Does anybody has had such problems with his hero?

How does the android system keeps the Internet connection alive?

Thx for you help.

P.S.: always on mobile network is enabled on my hero. ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Heematux:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Heematux:

but i have enabled use only 2G network

i will try for a day disabling that to use 3G and see if that's the problem
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Volker1:
Do you get internet connection at all in the "2G only" mode?

How about you try WCDMA only or GSM only and see if one of these alleviates the problem. I'm on 3 ireland and had similar problems until I enabled "WCDMA only" (I don't get any internet in "2G only" = GSM only)

The setting for WCDMA only is hidden, go to the dialler and enter *#*#4636#*#*

Hypercard 3G

This one works for me ... :)

[HD2 Accessories] jagster:
Thanks froestel

Any problems fitting the dual Sim into the HD2?

I would prefer the option of using the full size SIM cards in an adaptor if possible instead of cutting them down
[HD2 Accessories] froestel:
No for me no problems.

This adapter can also UMTS.

GSM adapter is also available, where you must not cut the SIM.

I hope my bad English is understandable ... :o
[HD2 Accessories] jagster:
Your English is Fine froestel, do you have a link to the GSM adaptor which uses the full size SIM card please?

Anyone know if this will work with any of the Irish networks? I tried a similar card a few months ago on Meteor and 3 Ireland but none of my Irish Sims worked but all my Dutch ones did though (Vodafone,T-Mobile) :)
[HD2 Accessories] osash2000:
the only issue with Hypercard 3G, is that u need to cutdown ur SIM:confused:
[HD2 Accessories] thorner:
how does it work?

Hello,

can someone explain to me how this works?

can I get calls on both numbers?

witch of the two is the active one and the one I call from?

Or is it a soft switch so that I can only use one sim at the time?

Sorry for the questions but I could not find the answers...

/J
[HD2 Accessories] bR00k:
there is only one sim active, and you can switch between them.

Does HiperCard 3G support HSDPA? or only UMTS?
[HD2 Accessories] schrej:
Well, it supports HSDPA but I have a problem switching between SIMs.

As soon as I choose the second SIM in the Hypercard menu, the "select" button (left softkey) disappears.

what about the battery drain with the Hypercard 3G, perhaps someone can write his experiences?

Using Simore with Smartone and China Mobile.

It works.
[HD2 Accessories] Sallcho:
It's hardware. As far as I remember, that phone has 2 GSM antennas built in
[HD2 Accessories] drummerboy:
I used Simore for a previous phone. I will NEVER buy anything from them again. The adapter didn't work and when their tech support ran out of ideas (and when I asked for a refund) they just ignored me after that.

Disgusting customer service!
[HD2 Accessories] pharaohs:
Well it was the cheapest (almost half the price of anyone else) i could find the 26th gen magicsim cutting version from a reputable seller and i looked around loads!
[HD2 Accessories] theredone51:
Hello Anubius,

I found out something about the MagicSIM and Android issue:

- When I start the phone in WinMo and then enter the pincode to let the simcard connect to the mobile network, the dual sim app in Android does not start anymore.

- When I start the phone in WinMo and press cancel, so the simcard can't connect to the mobile network, then the dual sim app in Android does start, but still - when I want to change the sim, it doesn't work.

- When I set SIM1 in WinMo and then boot to Android, SIM1 is active in Android. When I set SIM2 in WinMo and boot to android, SIM2 is active in android.

- This problem only occurs with the RAM-builds, all android-from-sd roms work perfectly (except from the JDMS ROM for some strange reason..) with the dual sim adapter.

Currently I'm running the Energy WinMo Rom and the DesireZ Android Rom. I've set the phone to airplane-mode in WinMo, started Android and I am able to see the dualsim menu in Android AND change sims! Too bad the DesireZ Rom isn't that fast..

Going to try the Gingerbread Rom now!
[HD2 Accessories] emperor_gr:
I also have tested the RAM versions and while SIM menu appears doesn't fuction..I have set windows at airplane mode and already set the SIM code under the windows menu...
[HD2 Accessories] anubius:
That is interesting! Thanks for sharing this info. So far I have not tried the Ram ROms. The info I posted was for some other ROM. For now I am using one of the Darkstones builds and there seems to be no problems with Dual SIM at all.
[HD2 Accessories] theredone51:
By Darkstone ROMS you mean, non RAM-ROM's I suppose?

One thing I noticed, when I set the Dual SIM to auto-switching when the sim switches to sim2, the phone goes into airplane mode? Might have something to do with the APN settings?
[HD2 Accessories] Filipponet:

[HD2 Accessories] theredone51:
Looks like the same I have, so yes, should work!

By the way people, good news!!! This morning I flashed the DFT NAND ROM and it's working like a charm! Even the dual-sim switching works! So if you're looking for a fast Android rom.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893620
[HD2 Accessories] anubius:
Yes I mean non RAM. It is one of the early Sense ROMs developed by Darkstone and maintained by other developer and is called MCCM SE V3.4. I should try to play with RAM Rom especially since there is Gingerbread version of it. But for now everyone seems to be happy with working DUAL Sim cards even if you flash Android (based on the latest post here). As for your problem - I have never used auto-switch since I don't have need for it as I use another SIM to call abroad from time to time. But I doubt this could be due to APN setting. Probably it is just the glitch of STK (tool which switches SIMs).

Other question I have is: have you ever found good software that would show carrier logo on the top or desktop? The one I have is Multisim - it is nice software but it does not have all cell phones logos. It is nice to have since sometimes I forget which SIM is on. Best wishes.
[HD2 Accessories] emperor_gr:
Just to note, i flashed MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.1.7_NAND and while the DUAL sim menu appears, it won't change to SIM2 no matter what..I had seen the same issue with older Cyanogen SD ROMs so i assume we are a no-go here, time to flash other NAND rom...

Update: I flashed the MDJ_FroYo_Revolution_v._2.2_NAND and SIM Utility works just fine, in fact with the CyanogenMod7 the phone had a hard time to connect to the network...So probably for Dual Sim users, Desire (+HD) builds would be ideal..
[HD2 Accessories] theredone51:
Yesterday someone pointed out to me, he got the Magic Sim working, that is: in 007 mode.

HOW TO:

1. Flash/use a ROM where the STK is working and you are able to change numbers.

2. Go into the STK and select the option "dual sim"

3. Select the option "007".

4. Install any ROM you like, in my case the MDJ Gingerbread release.

HOW TO SWITCH SIMS:

(For Gingerbread: Download the app "contact2sim pro" from the market (or search google..), because Gingerbread isn't able to save contacts directly to the SIM)

1. To switch to SIM1: save a contact to your SIM called "001" with phonenumber "001".

2. To switch to SIM2: save a contact to your SIM called "002" with phonenumber "002".

HOW TO GET THE STK MENU BACK:

Save a contact to your SIM called "007" with phonenumber "007".

Hope this helps anyone!
[HD2 Accessories] mongastein:
Does anyone know of any software like android Multisim, only on the wm platform? Or any sim switching stk software? I'm experimenting with the iphone 4 tri-sim at the moment (needs a bit of double sided tape to stick it on the sim, you have to fold the ribbon over the sim to stick it in the slot, and I can't quite get the cover to fit back on properly afterwards), but the in-built software is letting me down. Would appreciate any advice on this, thanks!
[HD2 Accessories] mouki:
hi all.

can some one explane me if it possible to use (16 in 1 Max SIM Cell Phone Magic Super Card) for double numbers use at thesame time???

or the cutted or uncutted versions of adaptors? its realtime workings sims or every time switched ones???

thanks
[HD2 Accessories] anubius:
Hi mouki,

As far as I know these multisim cards are not really usable since in order to get the number there you have to clone your original SIM card. As far as I know none has succeed to copy Comp128V2/V3 encrypted SIM-Cards. You can only clone very old first generation SIM cards before 2001 year.

You also can not have two numbers working at the same time (unless this is Dual SIM phone). However you can have two SIM cards in your phone. I think people tried both cut and uncut versions of Dual SIM adaptors here and they work. I prefer the cut version since it fits better.

Just post back if there is something else you need to know.

Best.

Look on eBay for the guy in england selling them. I bought it and it works perfectly. I forget his name at the moment.

I didn't get the simmore one, it was to much for my taste. i have run mine for a few months with no issue.

i put all the pertinent info in a thread in the Captivate forum.

[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
Does anyone have experience of a CHEAPER, WAY CHEAPER dual sim adapter that works with this device? Hypercard 3G is 59 euro, SIMORE is 69... and in both cases they have a crazy price. A whole dual sim phone with dual camera, java vm, tv tuner, and included microsd costs less than that, and there's no way I'm going to spend that much on a small piece of plastic... but I'd still like to have a dualsim capable HD2, because now that my old dualsim phone is useless after switching to HD2, I don't really appreciate having to bring with me two different phones...
[HD2 Accessories] HiddenLight:
I agree. Both Hypercard and SIMORE have a crazy price for their products. If only they price their products reasonably, then I would surely buy either one.
[HD2 Accessories] woaloo:
So, what about the no cut version...Any feedback...any link...

[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:

[HD2 Accessories] wolfyx:
Dont buy simore dual sim ..... Or any other solutions

Hi all,

I'm no expert but I can tell you one thing "save yourself a lot of trouble and dont buy this crap". I bought the new SIMORE platinum thing which is dual sim supporting 3G network and alll blah blah.

It arrived grandly and it sat in my table for two weeks because I just couldn't bring myself to cut my SIM cards as I didn't want to end up on the worst case scenario that the thing doesn't work and i cocked up my SIM cards...... so it sat on my desk for another two weeks until my annual holidays kicked in and I was brave enough to cut my two sims and tried to make it work ....the problems with these

1............... you have to be a brain surgeon to cut the SIMs perfectly to fit within the enclosure they provide

2. Technicaly due to placing the sim on top of this circuit makes it a little thicker than the normal sim card which means you really have to push hard to get into the SIM slot

3. SIMORE support is **** ...they don't care other than the fact they will ignore you once complaint and wont entertain any returns because package open.

So when i did my best to get my SIM cards into the simore strip it didn't work ........ ultimately figured out that sim cards are not being recognised and the software isn't loading ....... but once i rebuilt the cut sim card into a full sim cards using the plastic enclosure they provide then ,my SIM cards work fine ...... and I have tried with other sim cards and the same result.

I'll stop ranting now but i saw the word SIMORE mentioned within this forum (which i really enjoy to see fellow XDA or HTC lovers) and i didnt want anyone else to loose more than $60 to this crappy product or anything similar.

so right now that SIMORE dual card **** is sitting in my desk again staring at me .... and i wish i could get my hands on anyone who built this ........ i know where to shove their heads into.......:mad::mad::mad:
[HD2 Accessories] hkan_json:
I have used a Simore card in my Xperia X1 and it worked very good.

When I tried it in my Nexus One it did not work at all, and it was almost impossible to get it out again.

After that it did not work in the X1 either...

I need this so I will try another card, maybe a Hypercard 3G instead.

Anyone who has tested this?
[HD2 Accessories] HiddenLight:
Wow, that's a revelation. I hope others who tried this product will share their feedback, be it positive or negative.
[HD2 Accessories] HiddenLight:
I was also entertaining that idea. So last week, I put 2 of my SIM cards over the top of the battery and they fit very well. Now I'm looking for No-cut dual SIM adapter for my HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
d'oh? I didn't even try as it looked oh so tight to me. But in that case, I remember having bought a no cut dual sim adapter for my nokia 3310 for 3 euro shipping included, back at the time. Didnt work on my mobile back then tho :p

On second thought, you should find an adapter that has the conductive strip on the back part of the sim, opposite to the isnertion side, while they usually all have it on the long side, this making it impossible to have it fit.

OR you could try the supercheap cut versions, like this, first test on a couple of spare sims you don't really care much about, and then cut your main one if it works (and report it here so we may buy it as well :p)
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
No-cut dual sim

Is anybody able to fit a no-cut dual sim into the hd2? Please give some feedback.
[HD2 Accessories] hkan_json:
I quote myself...

I got the Hypercard now. The card is supposed to be cut in a different corner than in the Simore card. :(

But I was lucky, it's also smaller so I could cut the cards a little more and they fit good now.

So far everything is working good!

One annoying thing is that I have to log in to the google account every time. Maybe wrong part of the forum to ask about that...
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
ouch, since you already cut your sims, why didn't you just try and bought a cheapo 3USD adapter for the sake of the test, so the rest of us could know the deal :p
[HD2 Accessories] horskj:
For a HD2 Dual sim adapter that works, No cutting.

Have a look at :-

www freeyourmobile.biz/acatalog/ghost_dual_sim_cards.html

I have a collection of cheap dual sim adapters built up over the years for various phones; never found one that worked....

Until Now :-)

I've just tried General double card 12th gen, Ghost Dual sim type 5, King of Doublecard type A & a Sim kart LN-168, none of which work in a HTC HD2.

However, the 'Ghost Dual Sim V-Power Double Card Type 6' DOES WORK & 3G performance seems to be there on either sim. :-)

£2.00 from freeyourmobile (think its the 11th buy item on that page).

Not to be confused with the type 7 (mirror version) which probably won't fit, or the type A which looks identical but doesn't work, funnily enough....

Also, there's just enough room (it seems) under the battery cover to contain everything.

I might just get another (for £2), they look somewhat fragil
[HD2 Accessories] makind1:
Im getting my HD2 in two weeks, so i will try my nocutting Simore adapter and i will share my experience.

It did fit into my old Wing, didnt fit into Touch Pro 2.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
got the item pinned down, will wait for at least another person to test it before actually buying it, feeling lazy :p

On another side, would you please mind releasing a screenshot of how the sim selection menus appear? And if you really, really feel all the opposite of lazy, also a youtube video of the switching? :D
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
Thanks for the feedback, will take a look.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
btw, from the 2£ of the card, the final price becomes >8£ including shipping to Italy... noway :p
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
If it works with our device and if it supports 3g, it's worth the money I guess. I ordered 2 of them, shiping cost per piece drops this way :)
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
I'd love to get feedbacks from other users who have had success with them first :)

Like 2-line reviews, screenshots and pictures of how the sims sit in the inside/how the metal backpanel rests on them
[HD2 Accessories] mirroalex:
Anynews?????
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
I just received them. Still testing. It's really a tight fit, both into the sim card slot of our device, and inbetween the battery and the cover. Even after removing the soft rubber inside the battery cover, the cover stands still slightly ticker in the middle. It doesn't provide an stk menu. you really need to toggle te phone through the comm manager to switch to the other card. switching is problematic if 3g mode is set to auto. After the switch, connection setup runs again, but the operator name is not updated. The only good thing is that 3g seems to work.
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
Thank you for your report!

the soft rubber IMO is fundamental to pass the heat from the battery to the metal cover, that acts as a heatsink... removing it is not very safe, I think.

In other words, I get from your review that even if you have carrier curtain enabled (which I don't...) you cannot tell which sim is active at a certain moment, since the name of the carrier is not updated... that's troublesome to the least.

I don't have 3G enabled at all so that wouldn't be an issue, but the fact that the fit is too tight (does the metal cover raise a little over its correct position because of the adapter?) and the unintelligible switch make me not think about buying it.
[HD2 Accessories] drizztje:
Yes, the cover raises just a bit after removing the rubber. I don't think the rubber has anything to do with heat transmission, I think it is there to make the battery stay stable at its place.

STK menu is only available in digital dual sim adaptors, but they don't support 3g. There is only one I could find but that is too expensive.

Anyway, I put the rubber back and removed this adaptor. Back to single operator mode. I don't think I'll use this thing with my HD2, maybe with another cheap phone :)
[HD2 Accessories] ephestione:
it's a pity though, dual sim capacity is the only thing I really miss on this phone, and I do not intend by any means to spend 80€ on a little piece of plastic to get an adapter that works
