Hi firstly I've been browsing here for ages and its a great forum, loads of helpful ppl but thought I'd actually post for a change
first problem: i've got a bluetooth hands free kit, worked great on my old fone but I find I have to take the unit out of standby to get it to connect, whereas every other fone I've tried with it connected str8 away. is there a workaround or something for this? or does anyone have any suggestions?
second one: is the fact my fone randomly drops signal, I've missed god know's how many calls now cos it just drops, i can be using it or not and it will just go. O2 seem to think it's a faulty fone but last time I went to the o2 shop they told me online contract deal with them etc etc. Anyone had this problem? I'm running corporate not O2 as I didnt want the stuff it installed (except the damn battery meter ggrrr)
Sorry if this has been posted before but i did look and couldnt find any solutions
Thanks for reading ppl...have a good one

Hi guys!
I have seen a few posts from several of you regarding slow ActiveSyncs after upgrading to the latest ROM/Ext.ROM/Radio Stack, as available here.
I, too, noticed a HUGE slowdown while ActiveSyncing my device, right at the beginning of the sync... once things are moving along, it's okay.
Another problem I have is that every so often, it will start to sync, and then it will disconnect. I'll hear the chirps, but the green progress circle will still spin.
Anyone else have that?
Anyone discover any fixes?
Any ideas what's causing it?
Aside from that problem, so far the 1.40 ROM and standardized EXT ROM are going quite well.
I'd love to hear about what you've discovered regarding the painfully slow ActiveSync issue.
If there is another thread about this, please direct me... If not, maybe we could come together and find out what's causing this, and then perhaps we can solve it as a team.
Thanks,
Mike
If you are talking about AS via WiFI and how slow it is to make a handshake, you wont find any help here as far as how to fix this problem. No one on this board knows anything about it other than what is posted on the wiki.
I have tried upgrading and downgrading ROM, Radio ROMs, and cross grading. All kinds of ****ing ways and MS or O2 seams to just **** it up some how. Some ask you to upgrade to AS4, which in my opinion is really a downgrade because AS4 doesnt support WiFi.
Hey dude,
Actually I was just ASing through USB.
I seems like it's a lot faster now. It's picked up speed.
But sometimes it will drop the connection, so I have to take it out of the cradle and put it back.
Other problems lately are low volume, and I think my signal strength isn't as good as before.
I used to always get 40% sitting here in my basement. Now I am getting 20%'s and 30%'s.
I am excited to have the latest ROM and Radio, but the truth is, I think I was actually better off with the one that was shipped with the phone.
We'll see what comes out next...!

Actually, AS / USB works great on my unit and no disconnect at all. Do you have Wisbar Adv. installed? If so, what version/ build?
I can't comment on the signal strength since mine is always between 60 and 88% where every i go in the house.
Hey there,
Believe it or not, my AS is working flawlessly now.
No problems to report.
As for the signal strength and overall volume.. both seem to be a bit lower than before.
But it seems as if things are improving on their own!!
Hey all,
I've had my TyTn II for a while now and everything's been ok.
I recently upgraded my rom, from an old Duttys rom to a new one, since doing that my phone would not pick up signal at all - I couldn't phone and people couldn't phone me - it looked like my phone had reception but the second I went to call all the bars dropped off.
I posted on here. - It's the radio people assured me. I swapped radios. 1 million times.
Everytime, the 3g would work for a few hours and then the same problem.
I decided it was the rom. I installed a different duttys rom yesterday, and low and behold, the phone worked. Calls, tinterwebs the works.
Got home. Same old problem.
The one thing that links the roms is they're both Windows 6.1.
I'm using a MDA Vario 3 on T-Mobile UK.
Can anyone help me?

If you want to stick with WM6.1 do as follows:
(i hope you've got HARDSPL...)
Run the TriColor mode and install radio same as i do (signature)
when it start to restarts hold the camera button so you can boot tricolor again without loading rom.
Install your favorite ROM,
When everything is configured, run Connection setup again and restart your phone. Test it.
If it still doesent give anything it could problem with some third party apps or your device itself.
You can try my configuration it works perfectly for me.
Cheers,
Chris
Giving that a go today - will chuck you over some $$$ wonga if it works! Thanks.
I hope that everything will work fine for you. Im always happy to help.
Cheers,
Chris
Tried - No joy - but thanks - anyone else got any ideas?
I have a similar issue. On my 3rd phone now (Orange) due to phone not connecting in 3g mode to make calls. Seems to be an issue where it fails to switch automatically between GSM and 3G, although it often shows there is a network connection (even though there isn't - really anoying).
However, by turning off hsdpa it finally seems (6 hours or so) to stay connected to the network and able to make calls. Can anyone else with the same problem try this?
I don't enough about hsdpa to understand why having it switched on should make a difference, unless it changes the functionality of the radio. Suggestions welcomed.
You may have a faulty handset.
Exactly the same problem as my friend experienced with his MDA Compact 2. I tried flashing new ROMS and it seemed to fix it but in time he'd begin to suffer from a disappearing signal bar and random dropouts before, during and after calls.
You could try turning your network to GSM only and see if that makes a difference. I'm on T-Mobile and I know that last week I couldn't use my phone in 3G mode for 36 hours or more owing to a network problem in my area, gsm worked fine though.
not convinced about the faulty handset although it is a possibility.
I am starting to think that with the hsdpa enabled it somehow changes the way data and voice calls are handled.
Really could do with some opinions on hsdpa and whether enabling it or disabling it changes the functionality of the phone or the interaction with the networks

Just search a bit in the Kaiser forum, quite a few people (including me) have had similar problems. Radio hardware on some units is faulty and requires return to service center for repair.
The radio starts by not being able to send/receive calls/data on 3G while it still works on GSM, then later GSM will eventually fail too.
T-mobile have had problems with there 3G in the last week in northern Uk. I am still getting a few problems each day as you describe. I dont know, but I am assuming they are doing some repairs

Still, my experience is that there maybe faulty hardware out there, but by disabling hsdpa everything is fine. I'm currently making plenty of calls on 3g network, dowloading lots of data on 3g network. My previous problems were when the handset showed it was connected to the 3g network when it wasn't able to take or make calls or download data. Before, the only thing I had tried was manually selecting GSM in the connection settings.
I'm not saying that disabling hsdpa is a good thing or a solution, just that it might help some smart person to identify what is going wrong.
Any help out there?
Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.
Might be something like I have? But I got no reply here...

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?
Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards
Stef

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.
I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm
Today my note randomly dropped signal, Then it wouldnt pick up a data connection even when it did have signal. Now it randomly jumps to 5 bars before going back to none :/ I Reflashed my rom and it made no difference. Have tried multiple modems, and even restored a backup from before any issues occured. Nothing seems to be working and i have no idea why! It couldnt be anything to do with the efs could it? I mean i haven't touched it at all and i do have backups.
Any help is much appreciated!
it's a shame no one has any ideas on this. Mine has just started doing the same thing. First noticed a week ago when my Dad was unable to call me. It's starting to annoy me a little!

I had i problem before, suddenly the downloading is so slow, i though my sim is the culprit. I tried to clean install and reflash, still the problem persist. The last thing did i format my internal sd and the problem is solved. I hope this help.

Hi Bud,
How's it been? How's the android development going on so far?
First of all, I would still commend you on your app (carbon tweaks) that have work wonders on my phone till now. Your app is simply awesome in making my phone simply 'sings'! . I truly appreciate your great efforts making that app carb. Such an amazing app indeed.
Anyway, going back on your issue. Have you tried changing ROMS already? Stock /ICS ROMS? is the issue still there amidst flashing different ROMS already?
Now if you say YES, How bout your network carrier or provider? have you called them up also? If not, you can try calling them.
The reason for that is, I too have the same issue as you have now. I was pissed off to the max on why I can't get full signal on my phone. Network connectivity would halt to a grinding slow up to the point of no connection and no signal at all.. then the signal would come back and it would disappear again. I tried everything as well, rebooted, flash ROMS, kernels, modems, wipe, but the issue woudn't go away still.
On the last effort I did, I called my carrier here in Portsmouth (AT&T) and I asked the operator if they have some upgrades going on on my location. And what comes to me as a surprise was that the at&t operator said YES they do have a network upgrade/s in my location and told me to just be patient and bear with them. I was about to blast them with all my frustrations but the girl operator was meekly apologetic and offered me some data packages added to my plan(that I simply can't refuse to deny).
Anyway, after that call, I waited till they've finally did an uptime on their end and in no time at all my my signal was back full bars and going strong on my phone.
Moral to the story is that... sometimes we are too pre occupied looking for answers INSIDE our phone that we fail to notice the OUTSIDE factors (that still counts) that makes our phone work also.
Cheers carb! :highfive:

Thanks for the comments about my app man I have to admit updates have been a little space lately but im young and not going to neglect my social life I really do owe you for the support though man! I will be sure to update you on any future projects I have
Turned out my issue was that my operator (o2) went down for most the country that day so that caused my issues and I just didn't realise xd

See? I told you it was just your carrier messing up with your connection.
I advised you on that and you called them up. It greatly saved much efforts on your time delving and sulking on the issue on your phone when the fact of the matter is.. it was not your phone at all having the issue... It was actually your carrier.
Next time bud, if your getting some weird connection problems.. my advice is, don't tinker directly down on your phone. Check your network/carrier first and see if they have some upgrades being implemented on your area.
Cheers bud!
hi there i have bought lumia 540 14 days ago since then i have noticed that my wifi is slow at download or stream videos compared to my laptop and other android device i hve at home.. but the strange thing is that when i factory reset my phone it works very well for one or two days then again it becomes slow, i have done this experiment two times and same thing happening now my lumia wifi is again slow in browser as well as in store.. so wht should i do??
Sorry if i posted in wrong place but xda has always been so helpful to me and i know they will help me again to get rid of this problem.
Q&A would probably have been the more appropriate place but General is fine.
Poking random people via PM is not fine. You're not going to get any answer there I wouldn't have posted here (which is really no answer at all, because I don't *know* the answer), but I might just block you for wasting my time. I'm posting this publicly in the hope that other people will read it and get a clue. Most of them are newbies, but you've been here long enough you should have known better.
