On Australian Vodafone live, i can't see any of the 3g features on my k600i (which i bought off ebay). I don't know what the problem is and any help would be great. |

if it was meant to be a v600i, you need a phone descriptor tool to change the model name back to v600i from k600i |

The Vodafone wap site checks to see what phone you are using to see if it can use the 3G services. The K600i is not on their list as they sold their own version, the V600i. You need to make your phone into a V600i for it to be able to use Vodafones 3G Live services. Its silly really but it is Vodafones way of ensuring that you use one of their handsets.

maybe you just need the correct settings to be able to use voda live!
maybe you can just copy somebody's v600 settings

Thanks everyone for your help. It all seems like too much of an effort, especially as my dcu-11 can't be used for flashing anyway. |
