Hey guys,
I have an issue with my S730 where calls drop out. Seems random - I may not lose a call all day, and then the next day I will lose four calls. Could happen after 5 minutes or 30 minutes. I travel, and it happens in multiple cities too (in Australia).
Two questions:
- Does anyone else get this? I am a pretty heavy voice user, and talk about 1-2 hours on the phone each work day. It didn't use to happen with my nokia (same carrier), so I'm thinking it is an S730 issue.
- Will the hacked ROM/radio help with this?
Thanks.
I had exactly the same problem with my TyTn but haven't noticed anything similar since swithching to the S730 a few weeks ago.
According to the sales rep the problem with the TyTn was that it wasn't capable of switching between 2G and 3G networks and that's why the calls dropped. The hardware(?) in the S730 is obviously upgraded to cope with this...

At my company we use more than 30 S730's which have the same issue.
Randomly, while people are having a conversation (mobile - mobile / mobile - landline),
the connection is being cut off resulting in the inevetible 3-tone "Your call is being disconnected" sound.
Does anyone have this issue? I'm trying to figure out if this problem is related to the combination of Vodafone and the S730,
the S730 itself, or that there's something else that's dark and dangerous and wants to take over our phones.
Regards,
Korny
I dont use Vodafone, and only have dropped one call since the phone released due to bad reception where I was. Whats the connectivity like when your dropping calls? Anything causing interference or generating a signal that could bump you off?
Do you have bluetooth on?
With a t-mobile sim I couldn't make or receive calls when 3G was active, turned it off and it worked fine. This does not happen all the time.
Does that help?
edit: I have bluetooth off, as per question above.
Flame-bait:-
I've only had a quick search so I'll keep trying, but if anyone has a link to anything to automatically make sure you use GPRS unless you ask for data, then I'd be grateful.
Also links to reg keys or anything as I am not shy of a bit of tampering.
Something similar to mortscript for kaiser...
I have the same problem with my HTC S730. I think that dropping calls is someway connected with poor signal, but not that bad to dropp call. Also a WiFi may have some impact to this, but i'm not sure of it. I'm using phone in Poland 3G mobile operator.
Same here
Hey Guys,
My s730 seems to have the same issue. At least its similar. Sometimes incoming calls are auto-denied just after one ring. The problem is gone after a cold-start.

I recently have again this problem and even cold restar didn't help After another restart it finally start working as it should. What was most strange in this is fact that I received sms, but I couldn't make a call!
I wrote to HTC about it, but as usual my questions were ignored.
EDIT: I had enough of this and I flashed my radio from 1.58 (shipped) to 1.64 version. I hope this help and resolve my problems.
The new radio didn't solve the whole problem with disconnecting calls, but now it happens a bit rarely And battery life also has slightly improved.
ok i have a slueth rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366284&highlight=slueth and have been running it since 6/08 and had no major problems. so in the last few days when i have tried to make a call it will just act like it is going to call and then it will say "call ending". when i reset the phone(shut off) it will make a call but after that it stops making calls, it will try to call and it seems like it is looking for service. it can have full signal and still nothing, i can't receive calls either.
oh wow this is exactly what has been happening to me! What service/region are you?
Does it happen with texts as well?
yes it does i dont get text, im from fl i just drove up to boston mass on sunday. i have att wireless.
I am from northern VA and here is my problem more in depth, hopefully we are having somethign similar so this thread can serve a purpose to us both:
Note: this started when I first flashed Hyperdragon3 (with m2d) and persisted with L26 Kaisertouch (flashed because I thought it was a problem with ROM compatibility.
From time to time, the tilt decides to, from what I've acquired, not make a proper connection to the network. Although it displays 2 bars or 4 bars whatever, it is unable to make calls, receive texts, or connect to 3g/edge. The calls turn out like so, I call, the phone says "dialing" for about 6-7 seconds and then makes the ubiquitous sound of a call ending the beeping noises.
Regarding texts, when this problem surfaces I can't send any texts "Your message cannot be sent" and cannot receive any either (usually receive them all at once a little later).
Soft-resets used to fix this problem but they don't anymore.
So far I have restored my tilt to factory rom/spl/radio and still the exact same problem is there...
This leads me to believe that it may be a hardware problem?
Any suggestions?
yeah it sounds like the same problem, i did try something that worked for the rest of the day. i took the battery out for about 20min and put it back in and it seem to have done the job. ill try tomorrow and see if it stays working. im quite sre this might not be the real answer but for now its a band-aid.
that doesn't seem to work consistently for me.
This is really bothering me, I don't know what to do.
any help?
I live in Fresno, CA and all the suuden my 1 year old tilt stopped working consistently and went from 3G to EDGE to nothing and I could not make or recieve calls etc and my batterys drained quickly. I doenloaded a 3G toggle to turn off 3G and just use EDGE (auto to GPRS). This worked but who wants to work on EDGE. Funny thing is that 3G worked in Sanger which is 15 MIles east of Fresno. SAnger just recently got upgraded to 3G.....
Long story short, I took my phone in and they exchanged it since I had 3 days left on my warranty. The new Tilt with Windows 6.1 is sweet with some new bells and whistles.
hi
I bought a second hand tytn ii which was unlocked. It had originally been on the 3 network. I have used an o2 sim and for the first few weeks it was fine. This last week i am constantly losing reception, but i can receive texts, but sometimes my outgoing texts fall straight into my outbox. They will send, eventually but not straight away.
I have also noticed im getting 3 symbols next to the reception bar, H,G AND 3G. These will alternate. Is it anything to do with it used to be on the 3 network?
Also, the battery is awful; on full charge i get 1 day if im lucky. Can someone please help me.
Thank you.
Here's the situation:
I have a Galaxy S, Firmware 2.3.3
1 week ago, my phone started behaving funny in my apartment (in greater Vancouver BC, north Burnaby). It would randomly cut off the other person, sometimes right away, sometimes after 20 minutes of talking.
It was not dropping calls though, the person on the other end could still hear me, but I couldn't hear them anymore. The call timer was still counting, it was just dead silence. No disconnect noise or anything, just suddenly I couldn't hear them.
I haven't dropped, upgraded, or otherwise changed my phone recently. So far it works properly in other areas of the city.
The interesting part is, my girlfriend is with Telus and her phone is behaving in the same manor. She just bought her phone 3 weeks ago, a crappy flip phone (as her blackberry curve kept dropping calls in the apartment) and hers has the same "muting" issue in at least 2 locations in the city.
Both companies suggest it is a phone issue, not a service issue, and we should buy out our contract with them and get new phones. They say that is our only option.
What can I do about this?
Well they lied about the phone issue. Only the network provider (like at&t) can cause these problems. Ive experienced it before and i know how network providers work. (been there, done that) change network provider or do whatever else you want. There isnt much choice here...

Thanks for the reply
I'm paying for services not received and I signed a contract with them so there must be something they can do.
Anyone else have some thoughts?
Well you can try to unlock another phone (4g maybe) and put your sim in there...it might help but out of all my expieriencez i never thought the phone was the problem...

Hey guys, i have a problem with my signal, sometimes it passes from full signal to 2g, even though I'm in a full 3g covered area, and i lose connection in skype every few minutes while I'm on a video call.
I didn't have the problems before, that started today, i tried to re flash the Rom, hasn't solved it, my only concern that yesterday i have tried to charge the phone with the pogo pins, but instead of putting the - on the - and the + on the +, i have put it the wrong way, and the phone had shutdown, and then nothing happened, just that stupid and annoying problem!!!
is it have something to do with that? how can i fix it???

I'm on O2 UK, this phone probably has the worst signal i've ever experienced. It'll regularly go from 4 bars to "x" (no signal) on and off all through the day, or it will say it has a full signal and my friends tell me they've been trying to call me all day & have sent me texts.
It's got to the point where I'm looking at selling the phone now, as it's fast becoming no use to me. It's not the network, I can sit next to a friend also on O2 UK with an iPhone and they can stream a youtube video, I can't even make an outgoing phone call (just goes BEEP BEEP BEEP and hangs up).
Shame, I love the features of the phone, but its useless if i cant receive phone calls or texts on it.
Its about 2 months old, never been rooted has all updates applied that have appeared (14.1.G.2.257 at the moment) and has had the awful signal problems since day one. If i knew it was going to be so bad I would have returned it, but left it too late (14 day return period)
Never happened at the moment.
Poor Signal
I am also having poor signal problems maybe someone could help with setting ideas??????????

The signal fluctuation is most likely related to the aluminum sides(a reason why T-Mobile went with plastic).
