This is a problem where you have an apparently good 3G signal BUT you cannot make or receive calls or texts and you can't establish a data connection. There is no obvious sign that you are in this state until you try to call, text or access data.
The "solution" from T-Mobile in the UK is to force the phone "band" setting from Auto to GSM, then it works. But of course its not a solution as you lose 3G.
If you are at work with a 3 icon on your phone, just try calling it from your desk and see if you get straight to voicemail or not.
After discussions with T-Mobile they are sending me a replacement handset but if the postings in Modaco are anything to go by then I am not alone in this.
What is not clear is whether this is restricted to:
1. The T-Mobile UK network
2. The T-Mobile UK Vario III firmware
3. A combination of the above
4. A general design fault with some Kaiser's
This is being discussed in the Modaco forums but I couldn't find any mention here.
I make dozens of calls, and send around 50+ SMS a day.
No problems in the last month.
I am an Australian Kaiser owner running on the Three network.
ROM: 1.81.861.0 WWE
Hi there,
I have the same issue on T-Mobile in Germany.
What I have not been able to figure out is if the phone works again after a while or if one needs to reset (as I always do).
Regards,
Martin
I have tried soft resets and even a hard reset and it appears to be random whether it starts working again. This seems to be same experience as the Modaco users.

Well, I worked for T-Mobile UK recently and had the very same issue on my Vario II, even whilst at work where there was a large mast and the 3G coverage was the strongest in the country.
on further investigation, everyone else in the area had the same issue. sometimes it would work ok, a lot of the time i had to manually set to 2G just to be able to use the phone functions.
in T-Mob we could check the strength of various 2 & 3G signals by postcode, and the signal in the area was very strong, with no outstanding work issues or problems (according to our system)
was never able to figure out why this was happening, and nobody was able to answer the questions.
so -
seems to be T-Mob UK (perhaps just in various areas at various times), and is not limited to your Kaiser / Vario, so at least you can relax cos it's not a faulty phone
Thanks for the very useful post. Unfortunately that doesn't give us a solution. If this cannot be fixed then T-Mobile is useless for me.

i've been experiencing the same - no data access when using 3g (whilst showing 2 bars) but connecting fine using gsm.
can anyone point me in the direction of a replacement comm manager with the same icons as the default kaiser but with a 3g switch in the vacant slot ?
i've been looking at a few replacement comm managers but can't seem to find what i'm looking for ...
This is NOT a problem with your Kaiser, replacing your phone will not make a difference. It is problem with your provider's tower hard/software. Strange that T-Mobile has not told you this when you contacted them about it.
T-Mobile in the Netherlands does not have this problem, but the KPN network does. KPN is however in the process of replacing the faulty hardware (or maybe they are already done now, even) and suddenly the problem disappears
Found the solution!!
Hello,
I had the same problem untill one day I inserted my sim card in another phone (a very old nokia - as basic as it gets).
For some reason that I don't know, when I put the sim card back in the TyTN II it was working and keeps on working.
This has happened over a month ago, and I now don't hv a problem.
Try to do the same, see if it works for You
Regards

Nope, I already tried the SIM in another phone (an SE W880i) and it was okay. I put it back in the Vario III and it still didn't work.
I also tried soft and hard resets.

i can confirm that this didn't work for me either. :-(
worth a try though ...
I had this with a Hermes on Orange UK a year ago. They admitted that the local cell was faulty and was being fixed and asked me to go to GSM for a week. After a week I switched back and it was fine.
Am now using a Kaiser (O Tytn2) in same location and its fine.
well i know ive been having problems sending mms whenever im on the 3g network, but as soon as i switch to gsm then the mms sends fine!

This is correct, the problem is indeed not your Tytn II. I've called with a dutch provider (Telfort) which makes use of the KPN network. And it is technically not possible. So we must wait till the provider makes sure this is possible.
I also was surprised that they never told me this in advance. Actually they didn't knew it was an problem till I called them.
Er, exactly what "is not possible"?
3G to 2G switching works fine on my other phone (an HSDPA-enabled Nokia 6120 Classic, on the same network).
So how can this not be handset related? I can see how it could be a combination of the phone and the network but if other handsets can cope then it must be related to the handset in some way.
Incidentally I am now using my replacement Vario III and so far so good but its early days yet.

which ROM versions are experiencing this problem?
I get this in the UK on a Tuesday at around 16:00 and then all is ok after 17:00. If I turn off HSDPA then this does not happen at all.
My view is the T-Mobile network. Being as I know when it happens its not a problem but I think they have time slots for software upgrades etc to the HSDPA side of things and this is when your phone goes into a GSM lockout.
If I keep the phone on 2g then it never happens .
This also happened on my N95 on the same day at the same time also , so i would guess its a network thing
I had this occur again this morning, on the new handset. I tried to call home with a full set of bars and the phone in 3G - the call wouldn't go through.
Switched to 2G, call goes through.
The problem is that when you are in this mode there is no way to tell, without trying to make a call. Your phone is effectively useless as no-one can call or text you and you can't call out. You are blissfully unaware.
This is not an acceptable situation.

I have suddenly started to experience this problem on T-Mobile UK, starting last night. It finds a 3G network, but I cannot receive or send calls or SMS. If the network drops to 2G, I can generally receive texts, but it's only if I lower my band to GSM only that I can make or receive calls, or use data.
T-Mobile are generally crappy in my area anyway, my phone is forever flipping between 2 and 3G. Can anyone confirm what 3's coverage is like in south london (stockwell area if possible) and what sort of data/call packages you can get sim-only, as I fear that they may not work out as cheap as T-mobile's.
incidentally, I don't think it's an MDA vario problem as I'm running the TyTn II.
So, I've lived in an area with just EDGE and my TyTN II for a year now without probs. I've changed the ROMs after using HardSPL from Olipro, etc. without probs. I went over the weekend to Ft. Lauderdale, which is a 3G area, and my phone went crazy. It first shows an H with full strength... then when I try to make a call, it either won't connect or the signal goes completely dead. Other times if I just watch it, it will switch between H, 3G, E, and even G. Sometimes it'll even lose the signal altogether. What is going on?!? I've tried different radios (1.65.20.29 with WM6.1, 1.27.12.11 WM6.0, etc.) and they all do the same thing.
Interestingly, if I go to phone settings and change my band detection things from Auto to GSM and the data to 4 U.S. GSM frequencies, it goes right to Edge and all phone calls go through fine (but now I don't have 3G/H data)
Any ideas guys?
Funny, I have the opposite problem. Live in 3G. Two months ago I went to an area that doesn't have 3g. The G icon popped on my phone for the first time ever. It switched betweeen E and G constantly. The phone dropped calls constantly. The problem followed me home. The G pops up at my house now. I am still having the drop calls. There is a thread on here about this. Unfortunately, I have not found a solution. I have been calling ATT about it. I had to keep calling to get them to check it out. They say it some software issue with their towers. Don't know but I get $50 credit and 1000 rollover minutes from them
After you flash your ROM you should always do a master reset to ensure you don't run into any problems. Did you flash your ROM with the SIM card in the phone? They say you should take it out of the phone when Flashing.
yeah, i've been flashing all along with the SIM without issue... but of course, I've never gone to a 3G area with the phone until now. Outside of 3G areas, I don't have the problem... I called and asked about any issues in Ft. Lauderdale, and AT&T said there weren't any network issues and to bring in the phone........ of course I have an unlocked TyTN II (not a Tilt) bought from a retailer here (its original CID is DOPOD something), so they wouldn't be helping me much if I brought it in.... argh...
Same problem with my device
I have a stock Kaiser 130 series (T-Mobile Vario III) and the same issue (H->3G->E->Nothing) happened to me after doing a lot of roaming (China, Japan, USA, Europe, ...). First I also thought that this might be a SW issue but no reset, flash, etc. could fix it. These symptoms are also described in a lot of other forums (Google helps ) and the verdict: bring the phone back to the dealer.
In my case: T-Mobile already knew about this problem with the Kaiser and exchanged the motherboard of the phone during warranty....
I'm not sure if this is helpful to you - at least it might save you some time fiddling around...
Yes, this is due to a radio hardware problem in early units, that chimes in after a few months. Mine is at the service center for the same issue right now. No other solution. There are already several threads about that.

Same issue here, WCDMA is broken ("no service" when locking to WCDMA, GSM only when using Auto). It was intermittent for a while but now has kicked in as a full-time UMTS/WCDMA failure. It also cost me $150 in excess data charges as the disconnect/reconnect caused some apps to relogin overnight
It does look like a RMA is the only solution, I'll post if there's another way - I'm going to try debugging the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) to see if I can get any more info out of it.
cheers
My Kaiser has been working fine now for about a year. Recently traveled from one city to another. When I got off the plane noticed that I couldn't dial out nor surf the web. I also noticed that the touch screen was pretty unresponsive. While driving home from the airport and playing with my phone (about 30 minutes or so) shut off the 3G part of the phone and noticed that I could dial out. The phone was in Edge mode and it somewhat worked but the touchscreen was still kind of unresponsive. Called and opened a service request with AT&T. After a couple of calls and some "detail" checking I was told that my SIM was trashed. They said that maybe it was trashed going thru the airport X-Ray machine. (odd to me). Wondering if somehow there was an attempt to hijack my SIM remotely (BT?) or am I being paranoid? I recieved a new SIM today and I had it turned on. All appears well at this time.
I had the same issue with my old Sonyericsson. Traveling from Indianapolis to Denver, when I arrived the messaging and internet was really buggy. They told me that my sim card wasn't compatible with their network. That seemed really odd to me too. However, they gave me a new one and once it was registered on the network everything was cool.
Long story short - I don't think anybody was trying to hack your phone via bluetooth or anything like that. There are just minor quirks in the network when traveling long distances... probably from the network being made up of smaller ones that were simply acquired through buy-outs.

Traveling long distances will not "trash" your SIM, I go to HKG every year...no problems...that is a farther distance than Indianapolis to Denver...

Nobody said anything about the distance itself causing issues. What I said was that not all areas of att's networks are up to par, so older sim's may not work everywhere.
I don't work for att or anything but this has been my experience.
Thanks all for your responses. My 3G is still working in the Midwest. BTW my SIM card was working fine for almost a year (when I purchased Tilt). I also have traveled to the same place in FL a "few" times this past year with no SIM issues. One thing though is that 3G is not available yet where I travel to FL. (everytime I go there I can only get the Edge network).
It's funny... I've been on 3 round-trip flights since buying my Tilt. After each flight, the phone started acting buggy. Laggy, screen not refreshing when it should, programs refusing to run, etc.
A hard reset and restoring from my latest backup resolved all the issues each time. So, it seems that (at least in my case) the SD card is fine, but memory may be getting trashed in the phone. Of course, I'm blaming it on the x-ray process.
Next time I fly, I plan to turn the phone off completely before going thru screening to see if that makes a difference. Anyone else notice odd things happening after a plane trip?
I had a similar problem in the UK, although didn't actually involve travelling!
When I got my new Kaiser through O2 UK, I had upgraded from my old Wizard. I swapped SIM's and everything was fine. 3G was in operation in my part of the world at the time and it worked spot-on.
Then, after 2 weeks, 3G suddenly stopped working. GPRS was OK (no EDGE here!) but just couldn't get 3G signal. On startup, the 3G icon would appear, the signal strength would then drop to nothing, and would then change to a 'G'.
O2 said that my SIM was not 3G compatible - strange how it was working before though! They sent me a new SIM and everything's been fine since.
What I believe happened in my case is that they had upgraded the network in my area to HSDPA but hadn't activated it at that time. I believe the changeover is what made my older SIM suddenly incompatible.
HSDPA became active about 3 days after receiving my new SIM and my signal etc. has been fine ever since.
So, possibly when you guys have travelled, you've actually visited places where the network has been upgraded making your SIM incompatible there?
Also, have you tried manually searching for networks? If you're in a foreign country, your phone may be continually scanning for networks which will undoubtedly slow it down and make the screen unresponsive?
Sometimes people call me and get a message saying my phone is off or out of service. But when I look at it, it often shows 4 bars of service..
When I call someone, the problem disappears temporarily, and I start receiving calls again (and I receive all the SMS's I was supposed to get at once), only to appear again later for no reason (a soft reset also solves it). It's not related to location, it also happens when I spend the day at home (where I get a strong signal).
I don't think it's a operator problem either, since my operator is known for it's good services, and other people who use "normal" phones never had such a problem.
I tried 3 different ROMs (dutty's hybrid, Hyperdragon and AthineOS) and 3 different radios (dutty's radio (1.65 something), hyperdragon's (1.70 something), and eMo radio). Right now I'm using AthineOS with hyperdragon III's radio, and almost no programs installed..
This problem happens both in 3G and EDGE mode.
Anything I can do about it?
Send it in for repair?
Seems you tried all you could...
Don't think I can send it for repair, since it's an AT&T Tilt and I'm not even in the US..
Guess I'm outta luck then
Anyone else have any ideas?
have you tried the sim in another handset, sounds like a network problem to me.
3G Network
Are you using 3G Network?
Sometime I use 3G band and even It show good signal I loose phone calls.
I changed to GSM and no phone calls loose.
This happens in São Paulo/Brazil but...
EDIT: Sorry. Now I saw that you reported this problem also using GSM band.
Thanks.
I am not sure if you're using your US SIM card in a foreign country?
Maybe you just forgot to enable INTERNATIONAL ROAMING before you left ... ?
I'm having the same problem
I seem to have started with the same problem about a week ago. A couple people complained that they called me but it rang twice and went to voicemail - My phone never rang. However, after I made a call (or apparently did something to "wakeup" the phone), I would get the voicemail notification (2 hours later).
I tried reseating the SIM card, but then it went to "SIM Card Missing". I did a hard reset, but that didn't help. I took it back to AT&T and they replaced the SIM Card. That seemed to work again, and certainly would have been a convenient fix (bad SIM card - too easy). So I've just spent all weekend reloading all the apps, but now it's happening again!!
The symptoms are; After I reboot the device, I can receive one or two calls, then it doesn't ring anymore (the caller hears 2 rings then it goes to voicemail). If I cycle the Phone radio button in the Comm Manager, or cycle power, it comes back to life for 1 call, then craps out again.
I'm just using the standard AT&T ROM (without the Bloatware after this past reset) and the standard/default radio version 1.27.12.11
The only thing that I have noticed that seems different lately is that the "Comm Manager" task is always running when I look at the running programs (which I don't think it used to) I had also recently installed Garmin XT.
The device is of course 1 yr + 2 weeks (so I assume just out of warranty)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hmmm,
what I would try, is, to just make a hard reset, load only my contacts to the phone and run it for a while to monitor its "Incalling" behavior. If everything seems to be fine, I would go ahead and start installing an application, then monitor my device again for a while, if everything is fine I will go ahead install the next application ... and so on. That is just to make sure that no 3rd party application causes this problems.
BTW:
I don't think that GARMIN causes this problem. I used to run Garmin on my HTC too (v5.0) until I came accross SYGIC McGuider (which works much better and card scrolling is much smoother than Garmin).
Well,
to come back to the point: if you get the same problems without loading any 3rd party application on your device, then I would recommend trying another ROM (best advice: go with the HTC stock ROM). If it also happens with the other ROM then it might be hardware related and difficult to fix.
Thanks - I knew that's what I should do, I just didn't want to do it after having spent all weekend reloading and configuring it. I thought I had read somewhere about Garmin having to have the phone radio on to work, so I was hoping there was a setting somewhere that I was missing that was powering the radio down. But..... I suppose it's time to go back to common sense and just do the reset
So far it seems to be working now. I'll give it a few days with just the basics and then start reloading one at a time.
Thanks for the quick response!
Spoke too soon
looks like I spoke too soon, it's doing it again - seems like it was fine for about 3 hours, but now .....
guess it's time to try my luck with AT&T - time to see how good their customer service is

no, I was just using the default browser.
I've got nothing installed on it at this point so I'm guessing it's hardware related.
Over the last couple months I had been experiencing some strange battery drainage (not related to the GPS issues). I don't know if that was a symptom or not. It just seems like the radio is going to sleep somehow - it wakes up for a little while if I sync my email, cycle the radio via comm manager, or cycle the power.
Anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that controls that? (sure would be nice if it were that simple)
The AT&T store was basically useless, all they did was give me the phone number for the warranty department (but since I'm 2 weeks past warranty, he doesn't think they'll help me), and of course offer to upgrade me to the Fuze for $375 - no thanks!
I've had the same issue (I think). I too think that it seems to happen when I have a 3G data connection active and moving back to GPRS (non 3G) seems to make it better....
I'm on a standard UK ROM and using BTMobile as a provider.
I was driving down the motorway the other day and overtook a friend. He rang me and went straight to voicemail. I then got a text to say that I had a voicemail and rang him back.
I was running TomTom Traffic at the time so would have had a data session enabled....
I think its something to do with the data session sometimes not letting a call through but can't put my finger on anything and certainly can't find an option to change any settings...
Also, even at home, I'm constantly picking up my phone to see that it "has no signal" and the exclamation mark is displayed - so calls aren't coming through - but it then connects and shows a three-bar strength signal. Don't understand why it keeps dropping out, but I get a 3G connection at the front of my house and an ordinary G connection at the back and I think that it sometimes to stay connected to the 3G connection for data even when the phone signal is very poor and it would be better dropping that and connecting at "old" GPRS speed...
Same on the train on the west coast main line out of London. I think having the 3G turned on causes the phone signal to drop out completely more than when 3G is turned off, as the phone tries to hang on to the signal of a 3G cell and doesn't successfully switch over to the next "non 3G" cell whilst in a call.
have you tried a new radio such as NIKI's?
well, AT&T warranty was even less than useless. Home phone, Internet, and Wireless all through AT&T and the best they can do is "see if they could get me a deal on a new phone" or refer me to HTC technical support. Nice customer service AT&T!!!
HTC technical support was actually trying to be helpful, once she found out I already did a hard reset, she referred me to their warranty group. They looked up the S/N and it's still under their warranty (I guess theirs is 15 months after manufacture date). Now the only problem is I have to send it in to them to see if it's covered under warranty, and of course be willing to go without my phone for 2 weeks (and pay them a yet to be determined amount if they decide it's not under warranty).
I'd like to try a different radio, but looks like there's too much for me to read up on - I need to get the device fixed, I've already lost too much time with it being messed up and me screwing with it.
Update
so this morning I was ready to throw in the towel and send the device back to HTC. At least they were willing to help me out, unlike AT&T.
I get to work, and of course the phone seems to be working (which isn't unusual, it works for a little while then craps out). Come lunch time, it's still working (now this is unusual, it must be a fluke, I'll give a couple more hours before I package it up). 4:00 and it's still working! Now I'm starting to wonder if it's got to do with the cell towers near my house (and the AT&T store since it did it for them too).
I email my buddy who lives about 1/2 mile away and also has a Tilt just to see if he's had any similar problems. He calls me back laughing. There's 5 People in his office with the exact same problem (and not all Tilts either).
So to make a short story long....... it appears to be a problem with AT&T, NOT the device (but Thank You very much AT&T for the incredible customer care you demonstrated and for trying to screw me into buying new devices for outrageous prices)
So at this point, I'm not sure if it's that AT&T has fixed the issue across the board, or if it was the "Resync the routing" that the online chat person tried last night that finally propagated across the network (I assume so that AT&T can find my phone in order to route the calls to me).
I guess we'll see if it does the same thing when I get back closer to home tonight, but I'm relieved that it appears to be fixed.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Now I have a little more time to read about how I can screw up my phone on my own schedule - all the practice of resetting it and reinstalling everything, and seeing how much faster it is has inspired me
Hi bbaydiver
Did Att fix your problem? I had same issue with my tilt 8925. I tried all the orginal Att rom "same problem". After couple minute, I can't receive and make call. thanks

I didn't tried asking AT&T for a new sim card. but I will call them to change the sim card. Does anybody know how to disable the 3G function?
Just a "me too..."
Hello everyone. I just wanted to report that I'm having the same issues...they started about a week or so ago.
I've had my AT&T Tilt for about 8 months now (it's a warranty replacement for my first tilt, bought in July...so of course, I'm out of warranty). I recently had problems receiving calls, and then I started being unable to make calls, even though my phone shows a decent signal...anywhere from 4 bars to 2 bars. When dialing, it'll say "Dialing..." for a few seconds...and then it clicks off. A soft reset will fix things temporarily, but that's it.
I'm running the stock AT&T ROM (I'll check the version number if someone thinks it'll help), and I've tried doing a hard reset AND replacing the SIM card. Same effect.
Someone please let me know if they resolved this problem. AT&T offered me an HTC Fuze...but I'm extremely wary of other phones by this manufacturer. I'm very, VERY tired of phones crapping out on me after having just spend a couple of hundred bucks on them. At this point, I'm just looking for something reliable. If someone else here has had problems with the Fuze, please let me know...not to start any fights around here, but I'm actually thinking about going with the iPhone.
Thanks.
Hello all,
I bought this TouchViva with pdaviet's 6.5 ROM already installed. Although it worked fine with the seller's AT&T account, I am having problems keeping a connection with my T-Mobile service. The signal bars are low most of the time, but from time to time it loses signal altogether and searches for up to 30 minutes before connecting again. Sometimes I have to reboot to get a connection. I flashed pdaviet's 6.1 onto it, thinking it might be a bit more stable, but no joy. This is a very sleek sexy phone - but I need reliability too. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks,
Susan

Hmm Thats Weird...I Have T-Mobile on mine also but Im at Full Strength Almost everywhere...and so far havnt lost signal at all.
Srry i wasnt of any help
Thanks for the Feedback
It's good to know that it's working for you. I noticed tonight that the only way I could get a dropped signal back was to take out my sim card and put it back in. I've tried that before with mixed success but I am beginning to wonder if the sim card is not making a good connection, or that the sim cards moves a bit because it's not really "locked" in place. Any thoughts?
well if your sim card is damaged that could be one of the problems, check the tmobile coverage in your area? and probably the sim card not being locked into place is bad, possibility that it moves to much and the sim card isnt read correctly(i really dont know just making educated guess without the "educated" part )
