Weird thing going on with my phone. No rom updates or major changes.
It was working one day then it just stopped after a reset. It seems like the OS does not know that the Radio is actualy working fine. It asks for the pin but then it does not go any further and still shows No Service & a question mark on the tool bar. I have called it an you know that the radio is connected as it wakes the phone from sleep mode.
Any ideas on how to sort this out?
You must turn of flight mode to see the level of wave on your network. if it still has no signal please hard reset your PPC. and check again for that problem
I had a problem similar to this after I mashed up the phone's registry. Basically, it'd prompt me for the PIN, but even though I'd enter it correctly, the phone could never get out of flight mode.
Ended up reflashing the firmware onto it, which was handy in the long run as it gave me a chance to stick Pug's cooked rom onto it (with the later radio version)... I think your problem is one of those which mandates a hard reset and/or reflash :/
you can also change the radio version for your PPC. the newest is 1.04
Indeed, that was the real reason for me using Pug's rom as opposed to a regular rom (because it has the 1.04 radio in it) - it's made an improvement. I can now get a signal in my house (!) whereas before, due to where I live (no signal towers for miles, and I live in a valley), I just couldn't get signal at all. Not very useful.

I have installed the 1.12.10 GSM on it after making backups with aWizard. I am happy to report that it does work and that it does speed up the initial connection. Before (with 1.09.11 I beleive) I could log into (enter my PIN) and would still have some time before I would connect and get signal bars. It also seemed to increase refresh rates of the bars. Now the signal is usually found before I even finish entering my PIN muchless the today screen loading.
These tests were made in my basement at my house where I typically have been getting 1-3 bars. now to test 1.13.10 and 2.8 OS to see if it works.
I will say I thought it broke at first because I couldn't get my PC to talk to it after it reloaded, then I did another soft reset and the boot screen the second time didn't list the GSM version, even though the OS did see and use GSM. I re-ran the CID unlock procedure again since I could talk to the phone again. Reset again and GSM ver was on the boot screen again.
I also swapped out the boot screen for a bmp and that worked wonderfully. my only question is if there is a way to swap out the booting screen of the OS and not just the IPL Rom.

I have just done the RUU install of 2.16.9.101 which also upgrades IPL/SPL to 2.16. It changed my radio version to 2.7.10 and my protocol version is 413.1.0.3. This ROM date is 2/6/06.
Immediate differences are the battery notification is now at the top where on Cingular's ROM it was at the bottom next to the comm switch program. That and everything is I-Mate branded. No Get Good, but instead now I have I-Mate backgammon and Skype. And instead of the Cingular Mail link now there is an I-Mate mail link.
I will update later with more.
More... OS ver 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0 IDK if this is different or not.
Update 11AM: I have tested more. ZPhone themes I can't seem to install... IDK why but with the original Cingular ROM I couldn't either. The original ROM had a bug that used the proxy of the modem setting on the wifi setting making wifi not work unless you went and disabled it since it is enabled by default. This new rom after installing "Cingulcustomize_No_Emails.cab" to get MediaNet back, wifi just works. Even with the Proxy set on the modem connection. My Bluetooh headset (Jabra HT800) works great. Comm Manager is real nice. Even showing you the status of SMS and GPRS/EDGE connection. I want to play with it a little more to see if I can control those two or not. Gone from teh Cingular ROM is the ability to click on the Edge status icon in the notification area and tell it to turn on Wifi. But the Turn on Flight Mode still exists under the Cell Strength bar. Signal strength is comperable to the 1.12.10 radio rom I had before the upgrade. And IDK if it is taking longer to load from a reset or not, but before the Phone radio would be up and running just as I was finishing putting in my PIN unlock. But now it is running and connected before I can even start to input it. Just observation, that extra second doesn't mean anything.
I also have the 8125, so I am curious if the Imate ROM will cause any problems after the upgrade. I am not sure I want to wait a few more months until Cingular gets around to providing their upgrade.
Some other posters with the test/beta Qtek AKU 2.0 rom reported that they had trouble with the device resetting itself and problems with Wi-Fi. Let us know if you experience any issues with this ROM.
How has EDGE speed been, any improvements over the shipped ROM? Have you tried push email?
ok, i updated my 8125 to the new rom and am having two issues atm. first, the phone signal icon and the battery icon on the today screen is cut off so i only see the edge icon. secondly, i cannot start wifi at all, no matter what i do :\ (it looks like it's thinking but doesn't actually turn on ) now i did apply the cingular extended rom to this so i dont know if that caused both issues or not. as for edge performance, i'm in an area with bad signal so i couldnt exactly test it. i'm going to be clearing storage tonight and see if that fixes both issues or not. i haven't tested push e-mail as clubimates servers AREN'T supporting direct push (ie they don't have SP2 installed or have it enabled on exchange).
Locked up
Well I am noticing that it is locking up if I let it sit for a while to where I can't bring it back up. I have disabled the lock code to see if that fixes it.
I would have a feeling that the problems you are having are because of the enhanced rom difference. it won't hurt to try it as is like I did since you are having problems with it.
were can I fine install
I look for the rom in the ftp but there is no RUU install of 2.16.9.101 can you please tell me where can I fin this rom
thank you

thank you for giving the info on where to get the link. I have been away from a pc today.
as an update: the phone seems to be stable with the new rom (I am actually using the phone now using edge and it seems faster than my old phone was which was a nokia.)
I haven't had it lock up on me since I uninstalled battery pack pro, disabled lock code, and uninstalled skype & backgammon so take your pick as to what fixed it. I will do some more expereriments to try and figure iit out.

Are you having the same issues as darkjedi who said he's having problems with WiFi and signal strength icon?
after the upgrade i cant find the GPS ICON
even i try to delete the redirect string in the registry like i used to do before
still i cant see the icon on my setting page
please anyone noticed this problem ?

i finally fixed the signal strength icon (but don't ask me how), but wifi is still borked
no more problems, lock ups or otherwise
My guess with my problems were related to Battery Pack Pro demo. Even on the original rom I couldn't get it to work right with the assignable hard keys.
Anyway, I did not modify the original EXE one bit like darkjedi said he did. He seems to be much more advanced as I don't know how to do what he did and not that familier with its registry settings yet. But I naver had any problems with Wifi nor with icon placement.
My home wifi does use WPS-PSK TKIP using a Netgear WG302. Battery life seems good, but I do get a little crackle every now and then on my end of the bluetooth handsfree. People I talk to haven't said they hear anything other than perfect clarity. I would have been told if they heard anything since part of my reason to spend the money now rather than later was my voice and signal quality on my old Nokia was getting to be bad and they wouldn't waste a second ragging me if voice and signal problems were re-appearing. But mostly the crackle is few and far between and usually when my headset is on the other side of my body or I am a few feet away from my phone.
i didn't modify the original EXE, i installed it as normal, then after the fact, copied the cingular extended ROM then installed each cab manually. i didn't get a chance to try wifi before i applied the extended rom, but i just might hard reset and try that.
i dnt see the rush to upgrade if u have a cingular 8125 since there goa offer rom upgrades for the unit. with all the bugs i rather just get a ad2 bt plugin (wish they made it) and just do that
what roms do they offer? On my past phones I have had to have major problems before they would flash a new version of the Rom (my last 2 symbian phones).

ok... the only cab I installed for Cingular was the one I mentioned earlier. I have since installed spb power plus and their weather app and I am still stable. Not one failuer and my bluetooth is actually acting better from some reason. I was working on my car today with teh phone in the car and I was about 10 feet away without any noise or other problems.

Is there any settings to configure edge? I only see GPRS in the connections section.
This version appears quite stable but's only my second day since upgrading my 8125 from the QTECH 2.8.7.102. I really like the Comm manager and the Push Email icon works great.
Thanks!
name of account
the only thing that I have notice so far is that the name of my celular company (I could see before upgrade) now i only see numbers.

On the new imate ROM I'm getting between 65 and 110 kbps on edge. Latency is still crap at about 1.5 seconds on average, but that's what it's always been for me.
Direct push is great. Assuming you have Exch SP2 installed, push works without any other changes. I'm averaging between 7 and 10 seconds for an entry to push out after it gets to Exchange. I haven't installed the device management tools yet, but I'll do that soon and let you know how well they work.
I just noticed wifi isn't working. If I enable it in comm manager, the button is ringed in green as if it's on, but the left green led does not blink and it does not detect my open, unsecured access point. I did install the cabs from my original cingular extended rom, and one of those appears realted to wifi, but not sure what it does. I'll mess around some more and see what I can do. I'm not totally heartbroken that wifi is messed up, but it does bug me that I don't know why it aint working.

Where did you get the "Cingulcustomize_No_Emails.cab" file? I have searched everywhere and cannot find it! Help?
Hi all - I have a weird problem for which I am hoping people here would have a resolution. Recently bought a Tytn II,
ROM Version 1.81.415.4 WWE
ROM Date 10/29/07
Radio Version 1.27.15.32
Protocol version 22.51.88.13W
Using with a 2 GB memory card
Now, i have noticed a few times that the device just does not come out from the standby mode - the Green LED indicating that the GSM is on is flashing, but when I try to call into it using anothe rphone, it indicates being switched off or not reachable. I try to start is using the power key, or any number of keys without luck - the only way out is a soft reset.
I have seen some people quote a similar problem, but not inding a resolution there, am posting this up here
Pls help - I am extremely reliant on this as a business device and will get stuck if it behaves like this
Have you tried a hard reset? I know some radio's/ROM's have this issue
mine started doing that a while back and I found that it was a combination of my phone automaticly reciving an email while it was asleep and this program I had that gave you points for AP's and cell towers I forget what its called after I got rid of that program and changed my email to retrive manually the problem stoped
What apps would I need after a hard reset ?

Hi - thanks for the valuable advice. I would do so - however, another problem is compounding the same - I got this from a friend, and dont have the getting started CD that comes with the pack - can you tell me about, on a hard reset, what apps would I need to reload from the getting started CD? Or would I not need the CD ? I have all the other contact data with me on Outlook, and the other files I have copies of on the computer, so I don't plan to use a backup/ restore.
The only thing I have noticed that gets changed is the sensitivity resets to default usually which can be changed back in KaiserTweak or Advanced Configuration. I would say if you have never done any ROM or Radio changes to the device, and its a new phone its probably got something wrong with it. That gives you 2 options. 1 - take it back and get it replaced if you can, or 2 - follow the WIKI and change you ROM/Radio, but read WIKI because you will need to HardSPl before flashing anything.
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
I have the same issue once in a while. In my case gwes.exe hangs at that point which after that i have to soft reset. Still have no fix found though
I'm sorry but my fix wont work for you as its only for people whose phones only crash in standby there is no gwes.exe hang associated with it. Obviously it only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
@nlel
I allready tried a hard reset but the problem returns after a certain time.
The gwes.exe does not hang when using the device, it only hangs when resuming from standby and does not allways occur.
Well in your case its very obviously a software or hardware problem and nothing to do with the SIM and/or settings which impact the SIM. I don't know what else to suggest if my solution doesn't help I don't know what else you can try to do btw how do you know gwes.exe is crashing when resuming from standby.
When it happens to me (because of phone band type set to auto) I cannot see what is happening on the phone at that precise moment as I have to soft reset. There is nothing that is obviously crashing at the same time.
By the way gwes.exe according to MSDN, its Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem. GWES loads display drivers, printer drivers, and touch screen drivers, maybe you have a hardware fault.
Does it happen to both your Tytn II's?? and have you tried my solution or a new SIM ?
I am on my second Diamond as the first one (Original HK phone from Expansys) had to be returned due fault. I now have a replacement (1.35 ROM).
The GPS on the original phone worked really well and started up quickly, even in doors. On the new phone the GPS is completely useless, to get it to connect initially took about 10 minutes standing in the garden. The last two mornings I have tried to use the GPS on my drive to work. Both times after 20 minutes the phone had not connected. This morning I even had the roof down.
I have searched the threads for a solution to this and tried everything including flashing the ROM to a later version, quick GPS, aGPS enabled and disabled, HTC GPS tool, Tomtom 6, Tomtom 7, Google maps and GPS tuner.
I'm now at a loss as what else to try, than sending the phone back for another replacement.
Is there anyway to set up the internal GPS manually either via software or registry tweaks or any other possible solutions to this.
try upgrading to 1.37 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402284
work perfectly for me, with quickqps updated, it will fix under 10 sec in IGO8.
I've tried 1.37 and the TLR Rom, the probelrm is still the same. The frustrating thing is that it worked really wel on the first phone.
Careful with one thing: GPS Autoattach (getting an IP from the network)
I tried this tweak with my diamond (enable or disable with schap's advanced config)
With Radio On (no flightmode) ans GPSAutoattach On, I get fixes as fast as 10 to 15s
With Radio Off (flightmode) and GPSAutoattach On, I get fixes as long as 40s.
Yes it seems weird because if you have no radio, you can't get an IP from network (so in this case GPSAutoattach is useless)
Turning GPSAutoattach Off (to save battery) I got no fixes at this moment (i gave up after 1min1/2 ) Radio On or OFF
Perhaps something wrong on ROMs about the GPS/AGPS.
Hi all,
I'm having problems with my HTC diamond, which I hope you don't mind me dumping here for advice.
From one minute to the other, my Diamond suddenly stopped connecting to my provider's network. That is, I cannot make phonecalls, send sms, etc. In the task-bar, there's now an antenna-icon with an exclamation mark. If I remove the SIM card and slide it into another phone, there's no such problems.
Here's what I've already tried to do -- without any results:
1.) call my provider, they said the SIM should be fine, it's registered as active (this makes sense, considering the SIM is working properly in another phone and other SIM cards do not work on the Diamond phone either.)
2.) switch network selection to 'manual'. This keeps giving an error message, saying that the device can't read the network settings ("try again later").
3.) soft reset (red button on the back)
4.) hard reset (volume button + enter button + red button)
5.) hard reset (volume button + enter button + red button) including NAND format.
6.) re-installing the 1.39 ROM (available at HTC.com)
7.) (out of sheer desparation) hard SPL (olinex)
8.) tried to downgrade to the 1.34 ROM (after hard SPL), but failed (froze)
Some possibly interesting information:
1.) I was running TomTom 7.0 navigation software, the back of the Diamond got quite warm (which I know is normal)
2.) The Diamond was hooked up to a universal 5V charger for a car.
3.) I can't get a GPS lock anymore (e.g. with Googlemaps, TomTom)
I'm quite sure that the problem lies within the device, not in the network settings.
Some left-over hypotheses:
1.) I blew up a chip using a universal 5V charger (perhaps it had too high a peak-voltage).
2.) A chip was destroyed by the heat of running TomTom for an hour straight.
But honestly, I don't know very much about this all. Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance,
Sven
i think this is a "feature" of the Diamond
Mine will randomly loose signal for 30secs - 1 min, then pop back
Mine's failed to pop back for about four days now ;-)
I called HTC. After running through all the check-ups they decided it probably needed repair. They're picking it up today.
i have the exact same problems you listed, im on t mobile but my phone does not pick up any networks. i eventually found out that i needed to plug in my phone to my charger for it to detect a service but i was still getting many dropped calls. did you just call HTC to see if they could fix it? im starting to give up after trying almost everything that you listed, good luck fixing it as i am in the same boat as you
The same problem here...But, my diamond is already in the service... Will wait a few weeks and if you want I will let you know what was the problem. When it happened I was using duffy's rom, I think 2,9 version. Maybe...if you were with the same, might be something wrong there. But one thing is sure...when I get my phone back FOR SURE I will put the original ROM without messing around. I recomend you the same!
Good luck!
Last night i was playing with my gps ( Navigon - Google Maps - Google Nav) I switch the phone off at the comm Manager and left it off like that the whole night.
This morning when i switched it on, the phone refused to receive any signal.
Ive tried the following
Soft Reset
Hard Reset
Different Sims
Switching flight mode on and off aswell as the phone tabs
Ive changed the band from auto to gsm and back and still nothing
Gps, Wifi and everything else still works perfectly.
Before i return it and wait like 50 days for them to fix it, what can i try?

More information please. Rom, Radio, SPL?
Also have you tried calling your provider to ask if theres any problems at their end?
Mark.
I have no idea what rom..
lemme check..i have not changed a thing since i took delivery of the phone about 9 11 month ago.
my sim works perfectly in another phone.
rom 1.56.405.5
rom date 08.28.07
radio version 1.27.12.32
Does your sim work perfectly in another phone *in the same location* though? It was suggested you contact your network provider to see if they have any known issues or there are any reasons why your phone shouldn't be working. It may help if you have the IMEI number ready if you are in the UK, in case there is some reason why it has been blacklisted. If your TyTN II wont work with another sim in it (ideally from another network provider) and your usual network provider is unaware of any reason why this should be happening, then as a stock standard TyTN II, I think you'll have a good chance of having it looked at for free under warranty by HTC. Here in the UK I had my ROM reflashed from their WM 6.1 abomination back to the original WM 6.0 version by HTCs repair centre within one day so unless you choose a turtleback express postage option to send it in, there's no way it should take 50 days.
It started working all on its own again? how weird is that?
it had been normal ?
my tytnII had became the same after flight mode had turned on.
when fight mode off, it displayed "no service".

after I reflash this tytn`s rom, it remain no service.
I think it had wrong with its gsm hardware.
Sorry for my english.
I found this problem too.( no service)
My solution is
1. I format rom by use MTTY tool.
(1. How to check and repair bad block
a). Please make sure that you are SuperCID and you understand the importance of hard spl as this maybe a dangerious operation for you.
b). Download Mtty.exe file in the attachment below and save it to your computer.
c). Open connection setting of your activesync or WMDC on your PC and disable "Allow USB connection".
d). Put your divice into Bootloader mode and connect to your PC via USB
e). Run Mtty.exe from your PC
f). Selec "USB" in port box and then click OK
g). Press Enter once or twice to let the screen dispay "USB>" or "CMD>"
h). Type "info 8" to check if your device has bad blocks. And if there are any,
i). Type "task 2a" to fix the bad blocks.
2. Flash Rom again.
3. Now Signal come.
And you turned your Kaiser into a BRICK...
... If your SPL supports "task 2a".
