Coolio I'm from london, what network are you planning to use the 904 with? vodafone? cause most UK sims are type 8 on junglitz list and I don't think that is working at the moment.



Posted by: aw614

type 4 works for sure, that is what my cingular sim card is

strangely enough I found my old cingular sim card that I had to deactivate when I lost the phone it was type 2 like the voda jp sim

Type-4 looks simialr to type-8 although there is no gurantee 60 odd quid is alot for a tester. I have been told by the a seller of the hyper-sim that all sim works with it, not sure if this is true though.

I'll be using vodafone and will check my SIM collection tonight. Keep me posted on any news. I am not buying the PSS SIM until the 904SH is in my hands

Note how I said "Manchester is where I live at the moment " meaning I'm not from here

I don't like football either, but, if I had to choose:

Manchester United

Why?

SHARP and Vodafone

type 4 is close to the top of the sim card than type 8

--- That's what I thought you were trying to say.



I just order a PSS SIM and hope that they can ship it out quickly.

How much did you pay for your 904sh? I got mine for $180 shipped.


Go... United!!



Posted by: martindesu

If you paid $180, you don't want to know what I paid

PSS SIM - let me know how that order goes. Like I said, I will wait until the 904SH is in my hands before ponying up the dough.

FWIW: My SIM is type 8 I think.

It's a paino black in 9.5 out of 10 with original box. The guy who sold it to me couldn't wait for unlock solution anymore and decided to get the iphone instead.


For those of you that already using it with PSS, how's face recognition working for you when using outdoor?



Posted by: hankit

I'm using Hyper Sim that is now said to be 256m, where the PSS-SIM with INEX chip is 128m.

I heard that the first gen of the pss-sim sometimes have issues or disconnects from calls when used. I'm not sure myself, but its rumored around.

The Hyper Sim, said to be the 2nd version or the better varient to the pss-sim. More stable, and well cover for most sim. I have no problem roaming Cingular Sim's in Hong Kong.

Im going to try 920sh, since its that my seller in Hong kong let me play with his 920sh and have no problem getting in and out of menu. However, as ususal, the Camera, MMS, Games and so on doesnt work. Only calls, sms, and like browsing through menus are fine.

BTW: No Re-pro for 904sh, Re-pro for 920sh for Camera and some other functions only

Kev...

Where do you track the package? Canadian post or TW post website?



Posted by: aw614

the tw post site,



Posted by: Maikurukun

You can do it either way.
Taiwan Post will have a better tracking when its in Taiwan..
but once it hits canadian soil, Canada Post will have better tracking because Taiwan tracking is like a day late.

Hi, I just got my PSS SIM for my 904sh today but im having some problems. it goes to the home screen and i can sometimes make calls but then a few seconds later it gives me the insert usim error. I have the type 2 sim card, could that be the problem?

use track-trace.com and go down to EMS (with USPS). it will get results from where it was shipped (TW, JP etc).

I paid $250 for my 904 a few days ago. Price is on its way up.

you gotta make sure contacts are lined up on the 2 sims and that it didnt move when you put it in. most likely a contact is slightly connecting the side of the sim card.

Again none of this is proven. The makers of each sim says the same things so all we can do is see what people say after a period of time. What happens when PowPing makes the 512 sim? Is that better because the number is higher? the Hyper 256m is actually 256kbit (not mbyte or kbyte, but kbit). So having a little extra memory shouldnt make a big gain in performance. I think the average sim from your provider is 32-128k.



Posted by: AL9999

This is true... Vodafone in Aus are still selling 32kbit regular SIM (not USIM) cards, while most of them are 64kbit now. Memory size in SIMs haven't really developed...

Posted by: lamplighter

Congrats to whoever can use this finally
The entire Hyper/PSS SIM thing is very confusing, but one question about this 904 scenario:
Has this been unlocked only via the SIM method or is there also a software unlock (ala 911T) and you guys in N.A. are just doing it the SIM card way because of the lack of the proper 3G frequency ??
I am just waiting a week or so (a/k/a my next pay date !!) to purchase a 911T but this 904 situation is very interesting to me but am a bit hesitant to fool around with spliced SIM cards, etc..
I would ultimately prefer a clamshell to a slider and the 904 seems to be a no nonsense beauty.
Cheers to everyone !!! LL-

Forgive me if this has been discussed in another thread but this is getting a bit confusing, could not decipher one comment from the other



Posted by: lamplighter

OK, I just figured itout via an eBay seller, SIM unlock. $530 is quite pricey though

Cheers, LL-

From what I can gather, the PSS SIM installation bypasses repro.

I think what he meant was get the repro done to get gprs settings and stuff.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

=/ checked yahoo auction japan .....that was hard >_< lol I'm chinese so I get the occasional word (assuming it is in kanji) >_> theres a bunch of 904's there for about 20k yen but the ones I see aren't shipping internationally T_T (well even if they are I probably can't read it lol)

I am so tempted to get one.....off like ebay or something >_< even though its inflated like mad 500+



Posted by: aw614

i am probably just going to use a third party service to get the 904sh, since it will still be cheaper than buying a new one.

a decent condition can be had for under 25k yen...

pm the guy and confirm for us pls



Posted by: MyLoveForTofu

lol if were HK dollar I'd get like 2 or 3 XD

damn....the prices are inflating already >_< I guess I'll probably give up by the end of the month if I can't find a 904sh for a reasonable price because I can't imagine how much the thing will inflate to (well actually I can...it'll probably be as much as a brand new 903...600+ O_O!!!!! *shock*) >_<



EDIT: screw it XD I think I'll go pick one up from HK or mainland China (or even japan) when I go on my summer vacation this year lol XD hopefully by then even if the prices of these things were to inflate it would be significantly less then if I were to buy it off Ebay or something.....



Posted by: hankit

Its hard to buy 904sh brand new, i mean if you're looking for new softbank white/blue those are hard to get.

Prices for hyper card its like 3k ish HKD, but it doesnt seem to drop...that almost price charged for every softbank phone >@<

Plus, Now most of them has renew exterior, which is hard to tell if it's used or not. People will say its new, but its just got its exterior replace >@<



Posted by: MyLoveForTofu

To be honest I don't mind if the thing is refurbished, as long as its working and the frame is nice I'd probably still go for it, as long as the price is reasonable. (and yes I'd go for a white lol)

So I guess I'll wait till this summer. Hopefully by then there will be more improvements on the PSS (and price drop lol) and hopefully the cost of buying one there will be lower then importing it to Canada. >_<


EDIT: theres a guy on ebay japanfone who's selling 904sh's (black) for like 390 and you might be able to get away with a lower price since theres a make offer option, if anyones still interested in it. Personally I'm not interested because I only want a purple or white >_>



Posted by: Maikurukun

lol i wish i bought a 904SH white when it was still going for 200$.. with everybody trolling that it going to be locked forever... oh well i have a 705sh now.. =p



Posted by: MyLoveForTofu

-_- yea I regret not getting one too, theres the black one for 390 on ebay but for purple or white I only find it for 550 -_-

ps. this is sort of a stupid question and I think I already know the answer but I'm going to ask anyways to confirm.......If I attach my sim card to a Pss I can still use the sim card on another cellphone right? >_> (a non jap phone)



Posted by: aw614

it wasnt working for me with using pss on my other phones, other than my 904t



Posted by: Maikurukun

lol.. well in theory.. if your phone is locked. then no.
aka. If i have a Rogers Sim - and a Rogers Phone.. ... the sim card tricks the phone to belive its a Softbank Sim.

IN addition. don't put it in Sony Ericsson phones. (The type where the sim card goes down a chute of some sort.. or a hole...) Theres cases where the simcard got stuck.

If it helps you right now (you mentioned going to HK/mainland China), the 904SH is going for ~2500RMB new with SIM in Shanghai (if you're going elsewhere in China, then sorry, dunno about that) and about ~$3700 in HK (Mong Kok- I only managed to find one shop that stocked it in the area and that's what they're charging).

well this means pss sim cant get in my 703SHf (didnt know about umobileco going corrupt) or my 902T (maybe?)

All I can say is keep trying. If you have a camera, take a pic of your sim with contacts up using macro zoom and post it so we can see it.

Also make sure none of the solders on the IC are broken.

Possible errors:

1. INSERT USIM - your pss/hypersim is not contacting the sim and/or the phone's contacts correctly.

2. USIM MEP - this is the message you get when you put a fido or any other non-softbank/vodafone sim into the 904. Nobody should be getting this message unless they dont actually have a pss or hyper sim.

I don't know about corrupt, umobileco is still around. If I were you, I would get someone to unlock it for you. Unlock for 703 is 1/3rd the price of the pss sim at least.



Posted by: takumi906

sorry mate better get my facts straight then. well my 703shf is cid73 so the only place i can think of is umobileco

only reason i thought they went corrupt was due to the last posts in the feedback thread



Posted by: Kevbodian

I was just browsing and apparently the 'PSS' in PSS sim stands for:

"Parker, Simon and Sunny"

I guess they went into the business of it all together.

don't know if anyone mentioning this before but according to the hardwarezone forum, the sim card that don't really work with the pss-sim is the one that has gold contact in the middle due to voltage difference on them compare to the one that has the gold contact on the edge.. so that's why pss-sim can't really work with it..
don't remember who mentioning it but just read in hardwarezone forum for verification...
just a thought... i remembered it vaugely so.. don't quote me for it..

From what I can remember, it's because it doesn't line up with the gold contact lines on the PSS-SIM/HyperSIM. Which will require more trimming to get it to sit to the corner. I don't think there is a voltage difference.

I have the SIM card that sits in the middle. I might see if there is a new SIM Card from T-Mobile I can get. I had this SIM Card for maybe 5 years.

Edit: I'm soooo soooo glad I picked up my White 904SH during it's darkest hours. I wouldn't settle for any other color.



Posted by: aw614

you can always trim the sim card from the sides so the pins line up

Simplay answered, no. The pss sim sticks to the sim using 3m tape provided. You can try and unstick it but you risk damaging it.

First time I used the PSS i tried without taking off the 3M tape and just putting a small piece of scotch tape on all four sides. It works.... but I didn't trust the scotch tape. If you use this method, then you can still remove your sim and use it on other phones.

I guess you can use it on other unlocked phones, maybe. And you should be able to use on most other Softbank phones.

Yeah I trimmed mine because it overlapped the edge of the sim a little when i made the contacts line up.

@yangj08
Thanks for the heads up on the prices lol but unfortunately I don't think I'll be headed towards Shang hai because I don't know anyone there lol.

But yea I'll definitely check mong kok since I'll be going to HK for half the summer vacation, I'll also being going to Guang Zhou to visit my grand mother so I'll check there too XD and if I have time I'll also go to japan with a few friends for the hell of it lol. (I can imagine the language barrier already >_<!)

3700hk $ so thats about nearly 500 Canadian....well I guess its reasonable since it includes the sim? But I think by the time I go (during summer lol) either the prices have already sky rocketed from the popularity of the unlock solution or........they'll be out of stock. >_<

I've been waiting for my tracking number since last week. I've contacted the owner twice now and no reply. Kind of shady.

I got my tracking number a day after my order. My guess is that they're swamped with orders, since the word's gotten out now.

I have dealth with the ebay seller Promiauto before. He is good. The Japanfone's auction has an offer system. He offered me $340, I said $330 inc shipping. He then proceeded to ignore me hahaahah.


About PSS sim... I got my tracking number the same day (maybe an hour) after I bought them.

Just checked my trace, mine has finally left Taiwan today. So, I guess next week at best.

I'm not to keen on using the 3M adhesive, as I would like to switch my phones every so often, as I like using my iphone as well. Any tips on how to attach the pss sim for easy switching use.

Scotch tape? I'll probably be doing that.

hahaha who knows, it is "two brands, one company" after all. Who knows what kind of crazy network stuff they've got going on...hahahah

And maybe, greatcat, your SIM is loose now?



Posted by: Ito

I suggest u put a piece of paper between the SIM tray & your USIM. This might improved on the contacts...

hmmm... scotch tape is ok but i think using the 3m and scotch tape is the best to prevent any shifting of the sim.

you can try little pieces of tape along the outsides of the sim cards... would work but the scotch tape might make the fit really tight so be careful. the tighter the insertion, the higher the chance the pss sim will move slightly on insertion.

anyone getting insert usim, probably your pss contact points are not right on the sim contact points... possible touching other gold areas...

I finally got my PSS sim to work it took me a while but i finally got it thanks for all the help. Cheers

If you live in Los Angeles can you guys check this out? I just want to see if the seller is not shady. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/ele/541954820.html



Posted by: pocky

That seller notes that it's a "pre-order" sale. At least you don't need to pay until he places his order to his supplier. But still....It's worth a try.

So I got my PSS SIM today, The delivery was amazingly fast for me.

Just wanted to share this picture. Yay, reception! LOL

to those looking for a new white and have access to a third party, theres a brand new white 904sh on yahoo auctions japan right now at 25,000 yen with 12 hours left



Posted by: Kevbodian

hey shungo, there was a guy in the toshiba 911t thread who said his pss sim didnt work with rogers.

there was also a guy who said pss sim didnt work with his phone on fido... however, it seems that fido does work. either there are dud pss sims being sold or they are not being inserted correctly. all i can see is give it a try.

i see there are ebay copies already for 2/3s the price.

Don't forget it may be the actual SIM card ... i.e. the shape on the metal contacts... rather than the carrier. Isn't awong614 using some kind of SIM-hack (e.g. PSS-Sim or something) with his 705P anyway? AND he uses Rogers I believe.

The thing is, Rogers and Fido use the same sim cards (physically). So as far as that goes, there is no reason why it shouldn't work on Rogers. AZNboi128 said that his pss sim didnt work with fido, but I have seen two 904 here in Victoria working perfectly on fido with pss sim installed.



Posted by: KBoardBox

aznboi128's is most likely defective, it's not a "wrong USIM" message he's getting but an "insert USIM" message, which means it's not detected at all.

Exactly my point. So to everyone who's asking does it work with.... just try it.

There should be 2 separate messages: INSERT USIM and USIM MEP. The first being an issue with the pss sim and insertion while the USIM MEP is caused by a broken pss sim or pss not inserted (wrong sim only).

LOL! Wow..mine was definitely a young virgin. She (the phone) was so tight, I had to insert it in slowly and smoothly. HAHA ok ok, enough....

So I noticed on Yahoo Japan Auction, there is alot of dummy phones.

Anyone try Rinkya? It doesn't seem to pick up keywords like 904SH.

I dont think you can because you need to actually complete a reprovisioning.

Try getting repro from Sonyericsson.com and see if that works (pick k810i).



Posted by: Manchungster

Got my pss sim this morning at work. Don't have my 904Sh with me at the office. Damn!!!! LOL, guess I'll have to wait till I get home to try it out. Funny thing, is the Taiwan post tracking site, says the item is just one the plane to Canada, since Jan 18th.



Posted by: Eyies

^ keep us updated!



Posted by: Yttrasil

Gaaaah this is unbelievable!!! Was supposed to arrive today according to my calculations BUT there was a BIG robbery at the post office main terminal this night with bomb threats, burning cars etc all around the city to distract the police so they could do what they did. Just where my package was, lets hope it didn't get stolen, only letters from out of town were affected also, 600k of em lol. This has like never happened before either... BEH skipped morning classes also just cause I was so hoping for it to come!

So the moral of this story.... There are ALWAYS delays with getting the 904sh unlocked!





Posted by: martindesu

Ouch man. That sucks.



Posted by: pocky

Wow! That really sucks! The timing is just amazing. Hopefully your 904SH is safe.



Posted by: Yttrasil

Nono it's just the PSS Sim card, the phone I've had since the day it was released in Japan and have used it quite alot over there, so no great loss but still unlock is taking it's time to come here :P

But man I'm unlucky =/




Posted by: martindesu

Did you have a contract in Japan then?

I haven't ever touched one, so I am looking forward to it.

However, I hope EMS is being odd or something, because I can't track my package from China. (904SH)



Posted by: pocky

Oh, just the PSS SIM. That sucks too! More delay!

martindesu, Does it even show it in the system of EMS?



Posted by: Yttrasil

Yeah have had two of em(contracts) hehe, one with my 903sh and then 6 months later I upgraded it to a 904sh was over there studying Japanese. So got to use it for 4 months... then I was there again this summer and got a friend to get me a contract so that I could use it again and it really is the greatest phone ever(except 910sh and 920sh ofc), beats 903sh by miles

Never even touched it, have had 903sh before?... are you getting one? =)

Only bad thing is the whole metal thing around the camera has like been scraped away hope it's just me.

Edit: Oh getting one, awesome you'll love it promise! Gratz for the greatest buy of your life hehe

Sounds awesome. I just hope it arrives...

I will be in Japan this summer, so I was thinking of getting a phone on a contract and then roaming with it... might be expensive, but at least I could use the camera on a 920SH...



Posted by: pocky

I notice the metal scratches very easily. The edges of mine near the battery door is already scuffed up. I'm trying to be as careful as I can be. =\

martindesu, Your right. I just checked with the EMS China tracking and it shows no information. Do you know how many days it has been? That's not a good sign.

EMS is usually very fast and traceable.



Posted by: martindesu

It was sent on 17th Jan - so I guess if it's not here by Friday then I was scammed... we'll see I paid less for it than the money I made in selling my unlocked iPhone so I am happy about that.

I'll get one off yahoo japan if it does go belly-up



Posted by: Manchungster

Right now, I'm in the stage of trying to get pass the USIM error. I'm playing around with the contacts as much as possible and have scotch taped the top part of my sim and the pss sim. To no avail. Any tips to get this thing to work, as the booting up spund is beginning to annoy me. LOL

I am waiting for a 904SH from China. I'll give it until Friday to show up - then I know the seller screwed me over. I hope it turns up.

Didn't want to buy the PSS SIM until I had a 904SH in my hands.

To be honest, I would prefer the 910SH but I know that won't happen.

Anyone know of a good place to get a 904SH if my life goes wrong?

I can only think of Yahoo Japan. There is quite a few on ebay, but they are all black.

Hopefully it shows up!

There is a section in the settings that you can turn off the start up noise. Under Sounds I think.

Posted by: Eyies

Question: is it possible to use the PSS SIM without sticking it onto the sim? I would like preserve the sim card, in case I want to switch phones. Maybe just some scotch tape? Or does it slide around too much..



Posted by: pocky

Same though went through my head. So what I did was, I peeled the corners of the 3M tape on the PSS SIM and I cut off the backing a bit. I did that all around. So the majority of the backing is still on the tape, with only the sticky part exposed around the corners.



Posted by: Eyies

Hm.. I see. I think I'll attempt some cheap scotch tape thing first. Although that is a very good idea pocky.. but lets say you switch to another phone ,and want to switch back that would troublesome again.

Thanks for the suggestion though!



Posted by: Maikurukun

could someone post a picture of what it looks like when u scotch taped it?



Posted by: Eyies

Don't have it yet: but the original iPhone pss-sim's were installed like this anyways:

http://pss-sim.com/shop/product_inf...&products_id=45
http://iphone4.tw/forums/files/ipho...783813d6fbd.jpg

Don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you ensure proper contact and get it in without too much movement/sliding.

If I do a delete from SIM contacts or Delete All, it does it and then it says REFRESH. And then i get USIM MEP and I have to restart.

When it starts up again it works fine.

SO FOR EVERYONE:

Store ALL contacts on the phone and use the miniSD to back up contacts. This can be done through the connectivity menu in settings. If your sim is full of contacts, you will have no problems copying them to the phone, just don't try editing or deleting contacts on your sim. It will force you to reboot and only actually finish the deletion sometimes. SO, use your phone to store contacts and back up contacts to memory card.



Posted by: KBoardBox

When it's backed up to the memory card, you can grab the vCard file off of the card and edit it in your computer too! That's how I keep all my contacts synced, up between my Sharps and my Outlook (I've got a dedicated vCard organizer in between). Quite handy.



Posted by: martindesu

I used Keitai sync for mac



Posted by: Manchungster

I give up with this thing. At least for now. I have stuck it on and still I get USIM and some Japanese script.

I've adjusted it as much as I can think of doing, does any one have a pic of how the contact s should line up on the sim card. PSS Sim website and video don't give a full view of the contacts on the sim.

Just make sure the little nipples on the PSS sim (6 of them) line up with the scratch marks on your sim card (if you sim is new, this won't work for ya).

Posted by: n3t108

I just got mine this morning. I ordered on the 16th, shipped on 21th and USPS attempted delivery yesterday but no one was home to sign for it.

I am using it with my AT&T 3G-blah-blah SIM card without any repro prompt or issues...

In the back, there is an adhesive tape that you can use to attach pss-sim with your own sim card - that seems to work for me.

For those who haven't got theirs, I hope that you all will get yours soon!!!!


Cheers!

Nice to hear mate, I hope I have the same outcome



Posted by: Yttrasil

Same here got it this morning, finally! Was a little scared it got lost in the robbery thing but thankfully not.

So have tried it out and it surprisingly WORKS yaaay! Have tried a little with USIM contacts but that i'm not sure works but whatever. So I seem to have some problems with the connectivity with 3g and gsm like if I try to use my 3g it stops working after some time and then gsm doesn't work either but if I do a restart it works fine. So i guess i'll just stick with the gsm for now will try with another card later as the one i've got kinda sucks.

Was really a pain to fit it inside the holder had to put tape like everywhere so that i could squeeze it into the slot with all the might i dared use, have done it twice now and it continues to work anyhow. Recieving calls sms is a bless, just have to get some money on my phone so i can try calling but don't think it will be an issue YAY so now what, feels kinda empty after getting it all to work etc think i need to use it a little then i will feel the benefit of the phone that i felt in Japan =)

So this about 2gb cards, i bought one didn't work and got my phone updated in like august this year, did i get the wrong card... what ones work or might it just be vodafone and softbank issue between the two kinds?

No repro also which is AWESOME feels strange though since i'm so used with it so i always go into the menu and then go out again by mistake out of habit.

Love that store, great service great card anyhow! The packaging is also nice
=)

Also congrats Martin on your buy then, have you got it to work, was it really 120$ usd for a new one?! Nice catch if so!

what do you mean by "if your sim is new, this won't work for ya."? does it mean it won't work on newer rogers/fido sims?

Thanks man.

New but no box or charger.

I also thought that 1GB was the max card?

Tried again a few times last nice, but still gives me the USIM and japanese characters. Lined it up with the "scratches" on the card. I think the 3M tape is begining to lose it's stickiness. I'll try again tonite, but I'll use less attenmpts or this thing will break or lose it's adhesiveness.

So, for now, I'm using my iphone. No Sharp for me

I am using it with my AT&T 3G-blah-blah SIM card without any repro prompt or issues...

In the back, there is an adhesive tape that you can use to attach pss-sim with your own sim card - that seems to work for me.

For those who haven't got theirs, I hope that you all will get yours soon!!!!


Cheers!


Wow, that's fast. Mine shipped on the 18th and still isn't here yet. Stupid Canada Post.

Yeah, it's 1GB max on the 904, 2GB on the 920.

THANKS GUYS!

So now it's confirmed that PSS Sims work with 904sh.. I will just wait until the price of the sims comes down.. It's too expensive for a piece of small circuit board... at least for me for now.
