J. HOW TO USE RADIOCOMM TO ENABLE EDGE
================================================== ===========================================
WARNING: REBOOT PROBLEM (added Aug 2007) There appears to be an issue with doing the following seem edit on the A1200 in that if you need to do a master clear or master reset after performing this seem edit, then your phone will continuously reboot. Here is what to do to fix this:
1. Turn phone off
2. Remove the SIM card.
3. Turn the phone on with no SIM and select 'no antenna' when prompted during bootup.
4. At this point, all your seem edits are gone (yuk).
5. Connect phone to computer and launch radiocomm
6. Perform the EDGE seem edit again with the SIM card out
7. Reboot phone
8. Turn off phone,
9. Reinstall the SIM card
10. Power it back up and problem should be fixed.

Thanks to a lot of detective work by Alpha43 and some other users on this forum it has recently been figured out how to turn on EDGE on the A1200 which permits much faster web browsing than the native GPRS. In order to turn on Edge you need to download the following two files
RadioComm - RadioComm is Motorola's own phone service software that its technicians use.
Edge.rar - script that you run via RadioComm that will automatically make the required changes
Then follow these instructions:
Part 1. Getting RadioComm to recognize your Motorola A1200:
Unrar "Edge.rar" and place file on desktop
Unzip RadioComm file and install it on your PC.
If you get the message that you have to install microsoft .net framework then cancel the install and go toand download the .net work framwork and install it. Reboot PC and try to install RadioComm again.کد:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
Start RadioComm. It will display a settings window. Enter MA = GSM and Settings = M-Link USB driver
You should now see the main RadioComm panel. It should have a red "Radio Detection" button on the top right and you should see a Red square down in the taskbar icons area. When these turn green this indicates that the progam has detected the phone (radio) correctly.
Close RadioComm.
Turn on your phone go to Setup --> USB mode and select Modem.
Connect your phone to PC via USB cable and start Radiocomm,
Change the connection mode to USB if the software asks for it.
If your phone does not seem to be detected, go to Setup --> USB mode on the phone (while still plugged in) and select "USB Net". If still nothing, set back to "Modem".
When your phone is detected for the first time, a prompt may appear asking to install drivers. Select Yes and install the driver. This wil be repeated about 20 times so be patient!
You may have to reboot the system after all drivers are installed and restart RadioComm.
You will know when it has detected the phone correctly when the Radio Detection button on the right turns green.
*** If you have issues getting your phone to connect to Radiocomm (i.e you can not get detection button to turn green) then see section on using Hyper Terminal below ***
After you have got RadioComm working and detecting the phone, the rest is simple - all you have to do is run the script.
Part 2: Running the EDGE.tcs script
To the far right you will see several buttons; click the one labelled 'setup button'.
A window will pop-up, press the Browse button select the EDGE.tcs file you downloaded earlier
Lable the button 'Enable EDGE' (this is only for your reference) then click the button label 'SET'.
When done close that window, now you should have a new button labeled the way you named it in the previous step.
Click on the button to run the script. A series of log results should be displayed in the big white window. The last one should say 'Complete"
Exit RadioComm, unplug the phone and restart it.
If you have done it successfully you should see a "E" instead of a "G" in your Status Line. This of course assumes that Edge is available from your provider. If it is not you will still see the G.
If you have issues, then refer to this thread which has a good discussion on using RadioComm to perform Seed Edits.
For some screen shots see this thread.
E statuses:
E that is Green = connected and receiving data
E with a line under it = connected to an edge network
E with no line and not green = edge is available.
Radio Detection Colour Statuses Guide:
Red Circle: no radio is detected.
Blue Circle: radio detected ok and in Motorola USB Modem mode. (AT commands or QC test commands)
Green Circle: radio detected ok and in USB Composite Device mode. (Motorola P2K Test Commands)
Yellow Circle: radio is enumerated as a USB LAN device, but the socket connection is not yet successful (Motorola P2K or QC test commands in USB LAN mode).
Pink Circle: radio is enumerated as a USB LAN device and the socket connection was successful. (Motorola P2K or QC test commands in USB LAN mode)
Using Hyper Terminal to fix Phone Connection
If you have problems getting Radiocomm to recognize your phone (ie can not get detection button to turn green) then do the following:
Change your phone's USB mode to "modem"
Plug your phone into your computer
Check what COM port your phone is selected to. To do that go to Start-->Control Panel-->Phone & Modem Options and click on Modems tab. See what port the motorola USB modem is connected to.
In Windows go to Stat-->Run and type in hypertrm
A "New Connection" hyperterminal window should be displayed which will ask you to make a name. Type "home" or whatever you want and click on OK
Now it will ask you for connection details. The only info you need to change is the bottom field labelled "Connect using". Click on it to display drop-down list.
Select the correct COM port that your phone is currently connected to (eg COM5) then click on OK button.
A "Port Settings" window will be displayed. Just leave those settings alone and click OK
You should now be on main hyperterminal screen. To test that you are correctly connected, type AT and press Enter. Screen should display OK. (If screen will not permit you to type anything then either the phone is not in modem mode or you selected the wrong port. Recheck you connected to correct port).
You now need to connect to Motonet by typing ATMODE=13. It should respond by stating its connecting to motonet... If it does then you are done. Leave hyperterminal open as is and now launch radiocomm, you will notice that it will have like a pink/purple color now. That means the phone is connected.
Thats all, your phone should now be able to use Radiocomm.
If you are still having an issue with hyperterminal try restarting your phone, or deleting your drivers and starting over.
