Can't make or receive calls - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I just bought this phone off of a kid at school and I can't make or receive calls, so does anyone know how to fix this. Or what I would need to search because I couldn't find anything

first off dont do "that" you get in trouble real quick with so many dup-threads
if you know anything about flashing the radio, connect the phone to your computer and update the radio, read the wiki it should help
and btw this should work, let me know, i'm excited

My Att Tilt, seems to have problems with keeping the signal, Ej, im at my room, perfect signal, then suddenly, the signal goes away and never come back, till I push the reset button on the phone. The phone was windows 6.0, then I upgrade to a newer windows 6.0 , and then upgrade it to windows 6.1, but still the same problems
I download those upgrades at the HTC webpage, cause the ATT guy told me to do it...
Anything i can do?

If your phone attaches to a 3G signal and then none at all you need to warranty exchange it for a new one if possible. I spent months trying to find a fix for that and nothing ever worked on the 2 tilts that had the problem.

Wing - Data - not working after new IM+ install

so as i have posted b4 with my problem
the data just stoped working
i fianlly figured out what the problem was/is again
the new v of im+ 4.53
after install and disconnect of it
i no longer have any data function
im uninstalled no change
emailed them about it..
im thinking some sort of reg problem?
any one of your wing brains know how to fix this?
I never unistalled IM+. I just reflashed with a new ROM and installed it. I suggest you do the same. If you're running the stock T-Mobile ROM, you'll be MUCH happier anyways.
It may be, bc the moment IM+ stops using the data connection, it tells the phone to disconnect it. Try going to the comm manager before and after you run IM+ and see if the data connection is open before and then check it after. The program might just be closing the data connection and you just need to reactivate it.
Also, if you're convinced the problem lies with IM+, go to their site, and see if there's something in their forum or report it.

Personally, I use PALRINGO for instant messaging.
ok, well on a fresh restart of the phone [power cycle] data connection is greyed out. soit seems data is disabled now
further more, if i try to connect right now, and it trys and fails, i dont get calls.. so i have to restart..
last time this happened i flashed up to open touch and still had the same problem
so how do i get the data connection active again, with out making my wing fly into a wall
in commanager "data" is allways greyed out!!!
it is only available for DISCONNECTING.
i donĀ“t know why but it was like this all the time. also with wizard. no way to establish a connection manually. only by using IE or any other gprs-needing program.
yea i noticed the its greyed out after, this is annoying
i emailed shape services - waiting for there mail back now
any one have a install cab for the older version of im+
the one b4 they added myspace being 4.53 [current]
i want to try to set back one version and see if it works
but i dont think it will bc PIE will not connect - with having that totally removed from the phone
as i said this is the 4th time this has happened now and really dont want to go to my 5th repalcement wing..
installing the htc home 5 and black theme has gotten annoying so many times lol
BUMP so people can help me i really dont want to go for a 4th replacement
Damn, you've had to replace your phone four times?

for this same thing every time
data stops working
they send a replacement
atleast some good has come from this. the first time i had to ship the phone i went ot the local ups store, the 2nd time it happened i went and they know me already - had a help wanted sign, filled the app out and got the job
so thanks to defective phones i got a new job... which will be nice when it comes to having to ship the this one back when i get my next replacement..
^Wow. An act of God maybe then cuz these phones are of high manufacturing quality.
Ive had to replace my Wing 4 times since I bought my first one in June.
MMS wouldn't send at all
TouchScreen stopped working
Earpiece stopped working
and I can't remember why it was replaced the other time.
yea on my 4th. im gonan try opentouch and pray. if not the wings going for a flight...
no one has any clues to how to fix this with out a replacement again!?!?
i really dont want to spend another 3 hours on with pda tech for them to say the normal oh its the network sorry, blah blah , ok repalcement
Are you running stock rom? or have you upgraded?
last time this happen i was on stock - went to open touch 2.4 didnt change anything.. so i ruu'ed back to stock b4 i sent it back
it happens on stock..
and stays with any upgrade i do
I dunno man. hard to say without being there personally. The Stock Rom sucks, and on top of that Tmo blocks ports and **** ...
When you installed Touch IT, did you run the network wizard to set up the correct settings?
yea did the whole 9 yards and nothing... phone just ahtes me
i would just go for a sidekick but i went n spoiled myself with the touch screen [this is my first] and i dont think i can go back to something so simple
just need a wing that will work and stay working
I'd say go with the exchange I guess.

The stock rom doesn't have the network wizard.
But the stock rom also has certain things blocked, bc tmo wants u to use their ****.

AT&T Tilt Data connection configuration problems

Hello,
I have searched all over for an answer to my problem, and have not found anything of real relevance. I am using the AT&T Tilt with AT&T service.
I have just downloaded and installed the firmware at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556293 . I was hoping the software upon install would configure the data connection by itself upon initial startup. But alas, this did not happen. Is there any application that I can get that can configure my data connection for me?
You must not have searched in the proper area of all over.
Found this on the first try ..

First off, thank you. The setup wizard cab worked perfectly. But are you really sure that you need to be this degrading to an xda-developers n00b? Im pretty sure you knew you knew exactly what you were looking for, whereas I did not.
Again, thanks for the help!
dude I just typed in att data settings, nothing impossibly hard to figure out. Next time I'll just say something like " search harder nub"..
How did you not know what you were looking for? You spelled it right out !

Degrading would be me having you dress up like a woman that has been crying and have you beg me for the answer.
true, i did spell it out myself, (sort of). next time, i should look harder, and i am sorry i took time out of your day. What I do not intend to do, however, is take up even more of your time rambling on for two hours in this post and start an argument, by so doing destroying any dignity that either of us might have.
Just as a side note, I would not beg you for the answer. this is the Internet. I would simply search somewhere else online. Given that I have the choice of being degraded or searching somewhere else online, I dont think it is possible for you to degrade me.
Seriously, though, thanks for your help. I really do appreciate it.

New to the Dream, questions! (and yes i searched for these first!)

what up yall! My ATT tilt died a few weeks ago (flex cable went bad, decided it was time to move on) so i got a G1 from my buddy that had a broken digitizer and LCD. ordered the parts online and got it put back together today. few questions though.... it seems that about the bottom 1/4 inch of my touch screen dosent respond....its brand new and the rest of it works fin...just the small strip that seems to not work. any ideas? also t mobile are assholes...i cant get them to unlock it but i will work on that one...im quite sure that answer is on here. Also...do i really need to get a data package or can i choose to keep my phone from constantly connecting and updating my gmail and other apps? thats the reason i continue to get HTC is because i think data plans are silly when everywhere in america has WiFI....i think thats all for now...and ive been a member on here for quite sometime but this android mess is totally different. lol. thank yall!
That 1/4" at the bottoms sounds like a bad digitizer. =/ *Most* likely not software. But you can check by flashing a new ROM and if its a software problem, the new ROM will override whatever was causing it not to work before.
You can get it unlocked for $20 from one of many unlocking websites, just google it. You can't get it free anywhere other than T-Mobile sorry to say.
You don't *need* a data package, I don't have one. There are applications that can disable your data connection except for when you need it (i.e. MMS). Or its a built-in widget with the Hero ROMs.
Unless you have a rooted ROM, you will be required to use your data to even use your phone for the first time as it requires you to sign in to your Google account, but doesn't give you the option to use WiFi. But honestly, I think this phone is crippled without a data connection even if you don't use it all the time, I'm currently waiting for my current plan to end to sign another 2-year contract with data. But its up to you, its certainly still usable with enough WiFi connection points.
darn....its not very fun to take apart...plus i have to wait even longer...im currently using an old school , non color green screen nokia probably digitizer and not some random flex cable along the lines? maybe the black one? i guess there wouldnt be any way to check without replacing. and im not real addicted to any apps or anything, just mainly want it as phone/organizer. im a studennt and have wi fi at the house and at school, and every bar i go to has wi fi so i think im covered =) just making sure i could regulate it so it dosent pull and jack my bill up. if i were to flash a new rom, wouldnt that unlock it....and can you still downgrade it to rc29 when you dont have a t mobile sim card....or rather is there any other way besides adp or should i just go ahead and learn how to use it...seems a bit intimidating to anything ive done on a WMo phone.
you can use apndroid to block data from being used accidentally
flashing a rom will not unlock the phone.
Yes you can downgrade to RC29 without a tmo card
mmmk. so rooting and flashing a HTC rom wouldnt do it? if im correct i either have to go through t-mobile or i have to pay like 20 bucks so i can use it with ATT?

You can root without data. Just activate wifi at RC29 when trying to sign in

Rooted ROMs usually have an option to just skip signing into Google don't they? I know they have that for Hero for sure, but I was pretty sure they implemented that to all the cupcake/Donut ROMs too no?
Basically, you'll only need to use that with RC29. And if you do need to sign in and don't wanna use the work around, I would just go ahead and use the data, its only a few KB of info I think (I've never actually measured it, but I very small amounts on my bill even if I do use it to sign in, also using ATT btw).

all ROM's based on adp (and most modded tmo) have the option to skip (at least im pretty sure)
He just wants to activate his phone without data, which would require him to get down to a root level rom (RC29)
after he logs in, he has the option to root or wait for the OTA update if he wants to stay stock
if he wants to try to use his data, he can try but it doesnt always work (it did for me at first, but not the next few times)
ok so update... believe it was a bad digitizer...sending it back monday for a replacement so a few more days without the new toy) I got it registered to my Gmail and everything, and im currently waiting on my unlock code, so that is squared away. now...new questions.....
1. can i not just uncheck the auto sync and all the other data options or do i have to run adp? to make sure it dosent stay connecting and updating my mail and apps?
2. what positives do i have with rooting/flashing? obviously most of you probably have gone that route, and i really enjoyed flashing with my Tilt and having the newest WinMo, but it was always at the cost of it either being buggy or somethings not working. i know this can be searched but i want the simple answer if yall dont mind
3. i also noticed that the only thing so far that dosent work, is the camera/camcorder. keep in mind i got this phone with a broken lcd/digi. so there may have been other problems but i couldnt tell untill the screen was replaced. could it be i put it back together and missed a cable/contact for the camera, or could it just be software related?
...for now i think thats all the problems i have stumbled across... Thanks you all you are making this very easy for a Android Newbie!

1. That would stop just contacts, calendar, and gmail not all of the other apps that come with the phone
2. Rooting is definitely worth it, loving my hero rom
3. If your on RC29 there is no camcorder, but if not then it's definitely a hardware issue, when I was on stock everything worked fine
Just FYI: the unlock code is phone specific, so if your getting a replacement, the unlock code wont work on that one if the code you got was for the other.
1) If you want to disable data, download and run APNDroid. You can turn off autosync if you want but data will still be used.
2) Rooting has lots of advantages. Themes, faster updates (i.e youll get the latest android before its released OTA) more modifications, use of certain apps such as Ad-Free, etc. cooked android roms are more stable than winmo cooked roms, and you have the option between stable/experimental
3) if it was stock, its probably a hardware error
so could i potenitally not have any apps and not have a data pull problem? or it seems as though just rooting and flashing to hero (would you all go hero, or newer 1.6 stock rom, or custom 1.6?) and ill be taking it back apart to send the bad digitzer back, so ill check the ol camera out. still is stock T-mobile 1.5....no rc29 or anything....yet...
if you still have 1.5, you can use the 1 click root
im using hero right now, but i switch between hero and cyan using the switchrom script
the g1 on stock android will still use data even if you have everything disabled. the only way to completely disable it is by changing the apns, or by disabling mobile data on a hero rom
what was wrong with the camera? give a little more detail so we know if it really is a hardware or software problem
Quiccest way to get unlock code..just tellem you are goin to the uk or sum and you are in need of unlocking since u will be on there network for a while.. Usually that works!

seriously, this is bull****. You use wifi, not 3g, so you dont need to have a data plan. There is something seriously bad on your cliq. Try some wipes and then return it to store.

Pissed me off though about how u sign up contract 2 Years for the Cliq then u have to have the Data Plan of Internet for 2 year too or u would getting it, that bullshyt.....what if i change a phone that wont use internet? Still have to pay for it.....
you gotta learn how to work the cliq with your finger and really get it going, hun
about the cliq
the cliq has a "known issue" ....if you are turning wifi on/off without an actual wifi connection present, the phone reboots itself...it happens mainly when turning wifi off, when there is no wifi connection or if you are out of range...not sure if this is the case with yours, but just thought i would add that tid bit of info, maybe it will help someone.

The only update.zip's I have seen for it are the ones that are ready for root and waiting on someone to tell us how to pull the SPL so we can edit it. Some guys over at alldroid or cliq development have the .zip's already built and ready to go.
Please any CLIQ users..how your CLIQ works with wi-fi networks?
ok heres the deal
u need to head over to modmymoto.com and just root it the instructions are pretty plain jane and if you still need help im on twitter @snakebitezz
oh and mine has never had any issues with wifi and i use linksys and many other routers including belkin and d-link
