xda IIi probs: b/tooth and signal loss

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

Wifi issue

Hi Guys
I have been on s many threads looking for an answer but can't see one. There are loads of posts where folk are using the special roms ( like summiters latest masterpiece) and are over the moon about them but the Wifi doesnt work.
Is there a cure?
thanks
bhayani

use edge/gprs?

i am using summiters latest and wifi is great ...
i was just watching live tv from a friends sling box

I do use gprs ( no edge for T-mobile UK)
I really need an answer to this.
I only allow myself time to play phones on the weekends and would like to get this working.
Is the radio rom the one that controls Wifi, If so it mmay be worth trying a different one
help much appreciated

3G Issues still - Help needed!

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?

problems with data connections on tilt

I've been searching and searching for a solution and haven't found one that works for me yet. If it has already been asked and solved then I apologize for asking again.
I have an AT&T Tilt which I flashed AthineOS' ME rom on in January. I love the rom and it works perfectly for me except that I have had constant problems with my data connection. It will be unable to find a connection and once found will randomly disconnect and be unable to reconnect. Once that happens I have to turn off the data connection, turn it back on, try again. when that doesn't work I have to turn off 3G and try again. Then that doesn't work and I have to soft reset. Then that doesn't work and I have to try everything 3 or 4 more times before it finds a connection.
I also noticed that before I flashed the rom it gave a timer displaying how long I'd been connected. It no longer does.
I've tried several radios with no success in respect to the data connection.
Any ideas? any help? I'd rather not flash a new rom - as I said, otherwise this one is perfect for me. But being unable to maintain a data connection is a pretty big frustration and inconvenience.
I appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks!

As this is custom ROM specific, you need to post in the thread relating to that ROM - that's where you'll find the most people using it (and its what the forum rules say). Seach that thread first as if it is an issue, there are sure to be a few AT&T users with the same problem - maybe a diff radio solves it for them? My TyTN II using the HTC original ROM has no such problems.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thread closed, please ask your question in the original ROM thread.

[Q] 3G and network signal problem

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

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
