So I have a T-mobile MDA, with the stock T-mo USA ROM (2.26.10.2)
IPL/SPL 2.26
2.25.11 (Cingular, though, same problem seems to be around with T-mo too)
Everything is stock.
Possible factors: Exchange Push is active 24/7. PointUI (unlikely), Magicall.
Periodically the radio will die, and PointUI will show a yellow ! over the phone. Using the phone app will say "Phone failed. Try later" or something to that effect.
Sometimes turning it to flight mode once, or a couple of times, will revive it. Other times, it won't, and a battery pull reset is needed.
Other times, far more common than even that issue, is it'll say nothing's up, you'll dial, and nothing. Phone says "Dialing..." indefinitely. No error, no ringing, etc.
Any thoughts, suggestions?

I know this has been mentioned before, but the only thing that was mentioned, was the sim card. well i'm getting CONSTANT dropped calls now. i'm on the phone, and suddenly i hear nothing, then the phone drops the call, and i notice the signal strength and data indicator have x's by em (usually meaning flight mode). after a few seconds, the signal goes back to normal. this has happened at least 30 times in the past couple weeks, if not more. i even thought that it could be the sim card i was using (GEMPLUS), so i switched with a 3G one from Cingular, and at first i thought everything was ok, but now it's happening more and more often. i know it's not the network, as i haven't had this problem until flashing with summiter's 2.17 rom. i'm at a loss, but i guess i'm just waiting for cingular's updated rom that could fix this...
I would reflash it. Mine was having problems signing into the data service. Everytime I would disconnect from Activesync cable it would try a bunch of times to sign in but could not. I would have to go into comm manager and turn the phone off and back on and it would sign on. Reflashed and my problems went away. Does not make sence my it would take 2 flashes to get it right but so far so good.
the only plug-in i'm using is pocket weather, but i don't see how that would put the phone back into flight mode, while in a call. reflashing is SUCH a pain in the ass but i guess i'll do it if that's the last resort.
So, I turned off my phone last night, and turned it back on this morning to no service. I did a soft reset to see if my phone was just being difficult, and it still could not find service. I put it on my pocket and walked around with it, and picked up a signal after 10 or so minutes. This is particularly odd, because my phone was in a spot (when I had just turned it on) where it would usually have very good reception. Now, whenever I soft reset it, it takes a really long time (and a lot of battery) to find a signal! I figure it COULD be AT&T's network being really shady today, but I haven't heard any other reports and my friend's phones are all acting fine.
What could be the problem here? I'm using the stock HTC rom, with radio 1.27.12.11 on AT&T in the US.
Me too
I have the same radio version as you, however, I am on stock Kaiser using T-Mobile. I've had this problem many times. Not every reset but most result in several minutes of no service. I've even gone into settings and forced "Find Network" but that doesn't seem to speed things up.
Anyone have a solution?
I've also noticed that texts take reallllllly long to send. This one's been sitting in my outbox for at least 15 minutes now, with 4 bars of service.
Ahhhhhh.
I'm going to flash a new radio, 1.27.14.09 once my phone's battery is charged past 50%. Hopefully this will resolve my problems!
Hi, I've owned my tytn II for a few months and in the last couple of weeks, the phone has been acting really odd. I have tried to make a call and it gives me the dreaded "beep beep beep" and ends the call every time i try. I've noticed this though; If i turn the phone off and back on, then as soon as it gets signal (like 3 minutes after load up??), i can make a call ... Then i cant make another after that ... Then if i send a text, as soon as i receive the "sms sent" notification, I can call again, if i try immediately.
It seemed like a software issue, so selected "clear storage" from the settings menu and still get the same problem. I've tried changing from my virgin sim to my vodafone sim and get the same problem. To make maters far worse, as well as not being able to dial out, nobody can dial in; it goes straight to voicemail. I am showing average to good reception when this happens.
One thing i have noticed since the problem started is that the "G" symbol at the top of the phone is now showing "3G", but i haven't changed area and don't recall it saying 3G before. I haven't changed any settings and haven't got any new software ... Its at factory standard, 100%.
Does anyone know what I should do as I'm getting ready to brick the phone just for the sake of it. I've had the Wizard for over 2 years and I never had 2 restore it once ... this phone is REALLY bugging me. I'm honestly thinking of keeping the wizard and selling this one on ebay for say £180 or something, just to get rid of it.
Also, I've noticed the battery is draining faster recently. The phone is about 5 months old.

Did u try to turn of the 3g reception?
If no, try to turn it of in settings/personal/phone/band and in network type select GSM(or in comm manager turn the 3G off).
Mikulec, you are a god ... I guess i'm just getting angry at the phone because I haven't even started playing with it yet and its just so much more tempermental than my old wizard. It was to the point that I am still using the wizard as my main phone and the newer tytn II just sits at home all day! As it appears so far though, it definitely has worked, so thank you.

happy to help u bro, the kaiser is a good toy, u just need to play with it.
This along with the faster battery drain is the first sign of a radio hardware failure. If in a few weeks you start losing network even with 3G off, or can feel your phone gets warm even on standby then you'll already know what to do... send it for repair.
When I send it in for repair, do I need to install the normal rom/etc? Before I installed the rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416278), I had no issues whatsoever. Will they actually replace what they need to even if it is working under the stock rom?
Actually, I just checked with 3G off, and I'm still getting the same 3 beeps. Anyone know what's up?

My friend that has kaiser also and usually flash his phone once or twice a week and had it repaired alot and they have never said anything about his ROM
but then we live in Sweden and maybe we have other rules then you have
It's better to restore original ROM and SPL (there's a guide in the Wiki for that) before sending it back. Once you've done that you can check if it works again - obviously if it does with the original ROM then don't send it back.
My kaiser has the AT&T rom from factory after using OZ IM, the IM program that comes installed, I've noticed that my phone randomly comes out of stand-by not only when signed in, but also when the program is closed (even after a soft reset).
Also, just going on the program, how can I change it to stop saying "Notification" on my Today screen, which I think is the cause for my stand-by issue.
By the way, IM+ and Beejuve aae currently giving me problems. Computer crashed, lost the installers and I don't want to mess with it again at this time...
I can't get the phone outta sleep mode (I think it is sleep mode), where the screen goes black while being carried, about 50% I can tap the power button and it awakes, all is fine. BUT the half I gotta remove the battery or sim and then press power on button.
Any ideas?
Also how can we run an AV on the phone, my comp don't see it as a drive....
Thanks!
SJ

Please provide full details of which phone, which ROM/Radio/SPL other software installed etc as these things may help others to recognise what you're experiencing otherwise it's a bit like saying why won't my car start with no other details provided.... so some more detail will help.
When I was running the latest UK HTC WWE WM 6.1 ROM on my HTC Branded TyTN II I sometimes found it took longer than usual to come out of sleep so thinking I'd not pushed the button hard enough, I pushed it again - only to find the screen would briefly flash as it came out of powersaving mode and then it went black again as it went back in - could this be whats happening and how long are you waiting after pushing the button?
Sorry, I got an HTC TyTNII. ROM 1.81.415.4wwe, ROM Date 10/29/2007, Radio 1.27.15.32, Protocol 22.51.88.13H.
Most of the time the sleep mode ends easily, but if I leave the phone to charge it sometimes will give me the issues........

Funny, that happens to me quite often too. I have Dutty's WM6.1 WWE installed. Also I have the slide2unlock installed on it. The radio version is 1.58.25.17. Even when I don't have the phone on charge at times it does it. I have another AT&T Tilt that only has the Slide2Unlock on it the rest is factory, but sometimes I see that does it also.. Another thing I also experience is that sometimes it'll just restart by itself, but maybe that's to clear up memory or something?

Search for 'Standby of death'. There is a while thread where people are discussing it. I htink mine may have been caused by some offending software, as I get it much less now once I have uninstalled it.
Thanks kevin!
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=2where 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.
nlel, please stop going to every "Standby of Death" thread and adding your answer to it. Adding it to one thread is enough, three or more is just overkill, especially when the threads you've been posting to have been dead for months. Thanks,
Dave
