My UX280P's GPRS/EDGE Modem, Unlocked and Working!


With a little googling, tweaking, and a lot of patience/help from Lo' [thanks again bro!] I've now been able to unlock & use the built-in Sony Ericsson GPRS/EDGE Modem on the UX280P with another SIM card. I slapped in my Globe SIM and after a few minutes I was prompted that the network has been found & that it was ready to use. I tried connecting to GPRS and sending SMS using the included Cingular Connection Manager and it worked! Hehehe! I am unsure if I can make GSM voice calls with this module & software combination. Since I'm using a non-UX280P specific SmartWi application [using a SmartWi for a Sprint enabled VAIO because it works with Vista] and with this version I can't activate WLAN and WWAN at the same time. Might do a bit more research and see if these can be rectified. I also might look into Globe's Visibility [unlimited DATA plan for PhP 2,000.00] plan for my data needs.

    Then you need to have someone call AT&T and unlock the sim module.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
