So I fanally got my Kaiser yesterday And It kicks @$$ XD
I live in Mexico, So it is an unlocked unit, and it recognized my local cel network as soon as I turned it on with the local carrier's sim (telcel).
One problem though: I can receive calls, but not make them... after dialing, I get the call dropped about 5 seconds later without tone that says "Call Ended" with time 00:00.
Anyway to fix this =(
I've tried the search and nothing popped out. Thanks! =)

Sure
Welcome to AT&T.
I left verizon (due to their crippled hardware). I get virtually no signal in various parts of L.A. including my home. You place a call, their signal goes to zero, your call ends.
At least that's my 0:00 story.
I would like to reply to this...because I've been having this problem with AT&T consistently since I've come back to school (I go to school at Texas A&M in College Station)
I guess I could copy and paste a lot of stuff about it, because I've done a lot of posting about it on AT&T's forums...but I'm too lazy so I'll just put the link.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=76225&jump=true
My problem, however, is that when I have this condition, I cannot make OR receive calls (received calls go to voicemail, and although I see that I have a missed call or a voicemail message...I can't call the voicemail or I get Call Ended 00:00)
What I found was that whenever I'd call, the icon in the upper right hand corner (the one with the signal bars) would change from having bars and the phone icon to having bars and the 3g icon...it looks as if the phone TRIED to start dialing as a phone call, but changed to data, which knocked out the call.
If I connected to the internet, then I would get the H sign (so I know that 3g works). If I try to call with the H symbol, then the call connects every time.
If I use bandswitch, then I can eliminate the problem by FORCING the phone to go into 3g (UMTS) mode OR by FORCING the phone to go into Edge (GPRS) mode...the problem only exists when the phone is in auto mode (on bandswitch) or if bandswitch isn't installed. My problem is that bandswitch isn't a free program...so I only have a few more days of the trial before it expires.
I hope my topic on AT&T's forums has some helpful information

It sounds like the information on your SIM card could use an update.
Call AT&T and ask them to send an OTA to your SIM. If you don't have a current IRDB, your phone may not be picking up the correct tower or signal in your area.
I am not actually using it with AT&T... I use it with Telcel, a Mexican Cell Phone Network Service Provider, because it is where I live =).
Anyway, got it to work after a while. I went to Settings (Personal tab) > Phone > Services
I updated the data there; I also "re-found" my network in the network tab, but I'm pretty sure the first procedure got it going.
Tanks for your time.
When my phone was working, I tried to call AT&T locally, but they didn't know what was going on and didn't find anything wrong with the "network"

Under phone settings, there is a tab titled "band" (assuming you have it set to be shown, i think kaiser tweak/ reg editing can expose it) that you can switch between gsm and wcdma (G/E or 3g/H). I had that same problem when i first got my phone. i changed out sim cards a time or 2 and finally got everything working when i manually set the radio to one or the other. I've updated the radio a few times since then, but i still keep the switching manual, in an attempt to conserve battery power (I only need 3g/H when i'm online).
The problem with that is that AT&T branded Tilts never have this tab "band" and kaiser tweak doesn't expose it (I don't know what specific registry edit would expose it)...so I can't just switch between gsm, umts, etc.,
** Of course, I didn't check for an updated version of kaisertweak. One of the topics says it hasn't been updated in a while even though it has?
Yes, even WITH the latest version of kaisertweak and the latest version of the XML, turning on band (and then softreseted to make the options stick) does not make a "band" tab

curious, did you run the decert cab to allow unsigned code to run on your phone? could that be stopping changes from occuring?
heh, time to jump into the 'VOID' then? hardspl it and join the ranks of those who haven't bricked their phones yet! I guess i was lucky to have the band tab on the htc version.
I'm not sure how I would even know if I've run the decert cab or not?
Even though I guess this is the namesake of the site, I wouldn't want to change my ROM even though the AT&T ROM is doubtlessly inefficient as (insert inefficient thing here). To me, unless I know why the problem is happening, then attempting any solution seems counterintuitive (like giving the man the fish instead of teaching him).
So AT&T suggested just randomly sending a new SIM card (yet I know from other people's experiences that that doesn't necessarily end the problem) and AT&T has suggested to others that they get a new device (which has also not necessarily ended the problem.) These are just as shallow solutions until I know why the problem exists in the first place.

Hey Jim,
I wonder how no one has pointed it out till now, but MAYBE it could be a problem with the Radio rom in ur phone.
Have u tried upgrading to a different RADIO? do u know which version it is?
The following radios have been doing great with ppl around here...
1.27.12.17
1.27.12.32
You can download them from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
Try flashing one of the above mentioned and see if that solves ur problem!
hope this helps!
I guess you were addressing Jim, but I think I simply need to know if 1.27.12.11 for Radio is a known faulty radio (because that's the radio *I* have...so if other people know it to be faulty, then that's great for research)...and why? If so, then that would be the reason why it doesn't work (which is what I'm looking for) and then I'd be willing to switch easily.
But not before then.
Checking the radios topic, it seems as if no one reports a problem with 1.27.12.11
so...I don't know if switching is going to fix anything
I'm putting my problem on hold...it seems like it can transition better now and call out or receive calls better.
I've had the same problem with Telcel until I upgraded my SIM card to a 4.0.
The replacement costs $110 pesos (about $10 USD) and it's a quick and painless procedure!
Note: I still get the occasional call drop, but it improved things dramatically.
Try it out!
Cheers from Tijuana!

my friend, I have the same radio 1.27.12.11
and the same problem.
I just found this topic searching why my phone do not work at 80% of the time, the mobile provider here in argentina recently told me "your phone have a problem" so I'm in crisis.
Let'see what happen updating the rom / radio / etc !!!

Did u solve that? I encountered the very same problem on Polaris. SecureGSM doesn't work either. They say HTC Polaris needs "professional setup" to work properly, that means mail your phone and money to them and wait.
Is it beacuse of the radio stack or RIL implementation?
Hi there,
I'm going crazy with my Touch Diamond. Since I have it, I've tried to test every functions except for videocalls. Now that I'm testing it i get an error which (roughly) says "Failure on videocall; what do you wish to do?" and I get four options "Try again, Make a voice call, Send SMS, Send MMS".
Has any of you had the same problem? If so, little help?
I tried to search the forum, the web, I called the operator and was told that there is no special configuration needed (not surprised), and i still can't make a video call.
Thanks to you all
I have the original Portuguese HTC Rom 2.03.410.1
---
Updated:
I tried to change Connection settings for Sel. Networks to "TMN Internet", soft reseted, made a video call and worked.
Then I change it back to "My Work Network", soft reseted, made a video call and ... worked.
I don't know if this was a coincidence or not, but it solved my problem
Hi,
This is my first post in here, hope you can help.
I have a problem making a voice call while my phone is data connected(3g,E,H), I live in UAE, tried to call the emirates GSM Provider etisalat and after having a long discussion I found out that their system can't do voice while data connection is available because they can't count the SIM credits. I tried like a 10 different ROMs on both my HTC TYTNII and HTC Touch HD but with no luck. My question is:
Is there a tweak or registry Edit (For my Blackstone) that can disable the data upon dialling and re-enable it after hanging up. I want my phone to stay connected in order to use push mail.
Thank you
As far as I know, the data connection is automatically suspended whenever you make a phone call.
I also have problems but the other way round. I tend to be unable to receive calls (95% of the times) whenever my data connection is on. The other party gets an "out of reach" tone when calling me.
By the way, aren't we in the wrong forum? It's more like Blackstone general.
What I receive when i try to call while my Data connection is on is the following message "You don't have sufficient fund to proceed with the call" or something like that. I have no issues in receiving calls.
Hope some Seniors help us specially Dutty or Miri
Wrong Forum Area
This part of the forum is not supposed for discussing the problems of the device or the data plans of different areas or some functions as well, but to discuss about the new releasing ROM versions and their problems plus their updates. Better try the general area for these kinds of topics.
Thank You
I'm using imate pda2k device.
wm pro 6.5 is the operating system.
The device was working smoothly until a week ago.
the question: the phone function does not work. sent me sms comes, I can send sms. But I can not receive calls and make calls on. To even make a call, even numbers and contacts will not open.
Bluetooth had no problem connecting to GSM networks, but the exclamation was inserted. From the LED is blinking but the screen seemed to connect to the network that still has delusions of trying to connect. I like my phone is ringing like a phone call to another party, but on the phone to the sound goes nothing, I can even connect to the internet , but the normal phone functions does not work.
please help me
Did u check your battery?
Wrong forum.. this is for the XDA2i....
Weird fault though!
