Can't make calls, can't send texts, can't save settings, and

[Guest madhatter2k]

...I have a little G on the top thingy bar. I just unlocked this so i can use my o2 simcard, as i bought this phone from ebay. That's another thing, i'm not actually sure which model it is. There's no talk of any E-somethingsomething numbers anywhere...

Hope someone can help!

Thanks!

Welcome to the site :D

Post a picture, and we can tell you

[Guest madhatter2k]

just about to get the picture. In the meantime, might you be able to tell me what the little G means? I've been able to find nothing in the manual.

Welcome to the site :D

How did you unlock the phone? that will help to identify what phone you have.

The Big G in the top centre of the screen means the phone is GPRS enabled and the little g in the signal bar icon means you are actually using the GPRS service and getting billed for

the data you are using.

And that picture is the original SPV :D

Can you receive calls on your phone with the O2 SIM ?

[Guest madhatter2k]

Yep, just tried it. I can receive incoming calls.

Yep, just tried it. I can receive incoming calls.

That's a good sign then. The IMEI is not blacklisted :D

Can you confirm that the top display on the phone (homescreen) has O2, a G in white box, number 1 (for line1) and vertical signal bars.

Also is it a contract or prepaid SIM. If prepaid does it have credit ?

[Guest madhatter2k]

i can confirm that all three are present, and i do have credit.

Have you tried a hard reset <=click for instructions.

[Guest madhatter2k]

as i said in the other post, it's working now. i can make and receive calls, synchronise, and the menus are no longer completely buggered up.

i still have one question, is there supposed to be some sort of Windows Explorer program somewhere? Because i can't find it, so i can't run any of the programs i've installed.

thanks!

[Guest madhatter2k]

just installed SmartExplorer, and the phone told me something about it not having permissions to be installed. Any ideas?

As TanagerDave said in the other post, you will need to run the App unlock using the OTA method. You only need a working Internet connection on the SPV to run the unlock. The internet connection can be either GPRS or pass through connection.
