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.
Hey there, the ol' captivate has been driving me crazy lately and figured i would finally post and ask for some help. I've had this one for about 3 months & this is my second Captivate, first one dropped calls but i also dropped it a few times lol. I'll be on the phone and then just randomly boom, i'm talking to dead air. A few times lately i've noticed the screen will be on/flash on, when it drops the call or an app/icon will be highlighted as if it's been selected. Have also felt it vibrate a few times before dropping a call and seeing the screen come on. Then again a few times it has dropped a call then i get no response from any of the buttons or screen and it seems powered off......only to start working about 10 seconds later. It really is a mixed bag as far as the symptoms go...
It is rooted and running a version of Cog but it did this before it was rooted and with rom. I've went a week without it happening then sometimes it will be 2-3 times in a row then nothing for a week. Nothing to do with the weather or a tower being down as AT&T said lol, i just figured it had to be phone related with the screen or something. Any help would be appreciated, i love my phone and this is the only problem i have with it..would be great to get it sorted out
Hi All,
I have this problem with my SGS that a call gets disconnected too frequently. I have found it difficult to have a conversation more than 20 mins without a call drop once or maybe sometimes even 4 times. I think i have traced the reason for this after many months of noticing... Every time the call gets disconnected, i see that "E" symbol that pops up on top. You know... the one for data transmission? I think every time some data is transferred on to the phone during a call the call gets disconnected. Is there a solution to this?
Hello guys
Ran into a snafu yesterday, clicked home a N6 demo-ex from one of the internetstores here, it was cheap and I've always wanted one. Of course it came with a pre-unlocked bootloader and everything else you'd expect from a used Nexus, but I wasn't too bothered about that, I would have unlocked it myself anyways. Flashed MM on it as soon as the images were available. I played around with it for a few more hours, then late last night I decided I should move my simcard to the N6 and try Speedtest and a few other goodies. Speedtest went just fine, got the usual 64 Mbit over LTE, then .. I'll call my automated bank just to check the earpiece and speakers. "Dial .... call ended". Try again. "Dial... call ended". Put the simcard back into my Nexus 5, dialed the same number, worked perfectly. Back into the N6, same number, it dials, then just as it's supposed to start ringing, "call ended". Has anyone got any ideas as to what could be wrong here?
Done so far to find the error:
*Reboot *duh*
*Reflash MM
*Flashed 5.1.1, thinking it was a new modem and my simcard didnt like it. Sim is about 2 weeks old by the way.
*A couple of factory resets, just to be sure
This is the very last Nexus 6 these guys had on the shelves so I would really, really rather not have to return it but of course a phone that you can't use for phonecalls .. I already own a Nexus 7, don't need a miniversion of it. Bright ideas or even far fetched guesses appreciated!
Hey bud, I had a similar issue with my phone as well and the way to fix it is by rebooting exactly 6 times in a row....literally. Power on, power off power on power off etc........ Ive encountered that issue several times, it usually happens when i left my phone die and then reboot after full charge. I could only use data, no voice/text and sometimes it would be backwards, no data, voice text only
This is my mom's phone that she's had forever and will not part with. I safestrapped and rooted it several years ago, and kept it current (it's running 5.1.1). The phone was working great, then she left it charging for about three days before she remembered to grab it. I went to turn it on for her and it was dead. So I plugged it to my charger (very good) and nothing happens. Charger port is bad, no biggie. I transferred out her battery with a spare fully charged S4 battery, booted and all was fine, except we realized calls weren't coming in to her. Her phone doesn't ring, vibrate, do anything on the screen to indicate a call, nothing. But immediately after the call ends, she gets the missed call notification and voicemail shortly thereafter. Nor can she call out.
It was an ATT phone, but is unlocked and through T-Mobile (for more than a year now). I've been rooting and hacking for almost a decade, dozens and dozens of devices, millions of troubleshooting problems (5 kids with every electronic possible from ages 2 to now graduating from highschool). I can't figure this one out. It says it's registering on the network, but after attempting a call out or a to call her, it suddenly says there's no sim. I've tried other sims, as well and no luck.
Any ideas? I don't think she will use ANYTHING else!
