I have a MDA Vario (Tmobile branded) which I recently purchased second hand. The IPL/SPL was 1.06 and I upgraded it with the official ROM from Tmobile and the settings are now;
IPL/SPL 2.21
GSM 2.19.11
OS 2.24.2.6
Used lokiwiz (?) to remove the sim and cid locks and now using it on Vodaphone.
My problem is the wifi within the house, I can get a connection and it reports the connection at 24 Mbps (everytime) but the connections fails / times out within a minute. Any recommendations for a better radio rom or have I got a different problem ?

Hi all. I have a T-Mobile MDA that I have flashed with the latest i-Mate and Qtek roms as well as the stock T-Mo rom and I can't seem to find a network. Whereas several other phones can (including my i-mate JasJar). Is there something that I can do to help the reception so that it can find a network (upgrade radio rom maybe). ANYTHING - I AM DESPERATE!
Nobody? C'mon PLEASE! I am sure some of you out here have an answer!
is the phone and bluetooth working? It maybe a damage of the device.
everything works perfect. bluetooth, wifi... the only thing is that it does not find at network when I am at work. It does in some other places but not at work. When I use another cell phone (motorola, nokia) then i have no problem getting a network where I am. As soon as I put my chip in the MDA I can't find a network even when I do a manual search. The only thing it can find is Cingular but not a T-Mo network
now i understand I thought you mean a wifi network, not a GSM network. the signal is often very bad. after i hit my vario a few times, it worked better, sounds crazy, but it has worked but i don't recommend this solution
anybody with a working solution?
Searchng, Searching...
Your MDA is not finding a signal in certain areas? Sounds familair.

I upgraded to the Tmobile 2.24 rom that I found on here which includes the cingular 2.25 radio rom.
When I connect to EDGE or GPRS my signal goes to 1 or 2 bars. Even if I disconnect from GPRS/EDGE it stays 1 or 2 bars. If I restart the phone, then I get a full signal until connecting to GPRS again.
Anyone else experience this? Suggestions?
i agree. ever since i used summiters new rom program the signal has gotten soooo much worse than the 2.17 version
My signal was getting a bit better after only upgrading my Radio Rom, but when I tried to connect to GPRS it would fail 4-5 times before it finally connects.
After flashing back my Qtek 2.18 Rom it was fine again and right now with my T-Mobile 2.21 Rom it still is fine.
So no 2.25 Radio Rom from Cingular for me anymore
Have either of you tried using the older Radio Rom with the AKU 2.3 OS Rom?
No issues here with the 2.25.11 Radio ROM. 5 bars before GPRS = 5 bars during and 5 bars after GPRS.
I just upgraded from the stock ROm to the 2.26 ROM and everything's cool(even though it's damn near the same to me) but for some reason I can't connect to the net at all. I'm thinkin maybe it's because I'm a Cingular customer and have a T-Mobile ROM. Are there any .cabs that can help with this or something, any help would be appreciated.
Also is there any way to make all connections Cingular connections and not T-Mobile
You have to manually enter cingular's wap settings and all that in start/settings/connections tab/connections. you shouldve soft reset your device before tmobiles customizations began to install. its a shame cingular doesnt offer their customers with updated roms as often as t-mobile does. call cingular and they'll give you all their connection settings.
Just picked up a Tilt after defecting from Verizon for lack of decent/recent handsets.
I am running stock ROM & radio:
ROM 1.57.502.2
Radio 1.27.12.11
Build 18125
I noticed that while I am at work on MEdia Net/Edge I get voice but no data while the iPhone user sitting next to me has a fairly speedy edge connection. In his defense, he also has a Cingy 8125 that also has a great Edge connection in this location... It appears that there is a decent signal there, just not for my Tilt -
Any ideas?
Update Radio?
AKU 0.4.4?
Searched this prob & found nothing - sorry if I missed a giant sticky...
Thanks
I don't have the Tilt but the TyTn II. My problem is that I get slow Upload / Download speeds on my Edge connection i.e. about 100 kbs. When I put the same SIM Card in my HTC Touch I get speeds in excess of 200 kbs, so I gues my mobile operator cannot be blamed.
Tried different Radios including 1.27.12.17 and 1.27.12.32 but to no avail. any help will be apreciated.
Hello,
I have an (apparently) unlocked MDA Vario III. I originally tried with a virgin UK payg sim, and also a T-Mo UK sim, but no matter what settings I try, whether on standard Rom/Radio, or custom, I cannot make the data connection work.
I'm currently on the stock T-Mobile Rom and Radio, with factory T-Mobile data settings. Even that, with an activated T-Mobile sim gives me the "Cannot connect to the network for an unknown reason" error message.
What could be causing this? Have I scuppered the phone by trying to unlock it? Could it be the SPL? (That's the only non-stock thing currently on there). Is there a way to generate some kind of log to work out what's going on?
