I've noticed in several threads that some people (including me) are experiencing dropped connections while making voice calls. Maybe in this thread we can find the cause of this and hopefully also a solution.
Symptoms are that while making a voice call, the call is dropped after a few minutes (mostly somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes). When this happens the GSM connection seems to be lost completely, e.g. the GSM connection indicator in the top bar indicates that it is searching for a network. After a few seconds the GSM connection is re-established again, but the call is lost.
Some possible causes that me and other people are thinking about: Using US radio ROM in Europe, having GPRS applications active, automatic network selection, or having the password screen activated after x minutes of inactivity.
As far as I've seen, most people experiencing this problem are running one of the AKU 2.3 ROM's. I'm running the MrClean AKU 2.3 ROM:
From Settings -> System -> Device Information:
ROM Version 2.24.10.1 WWE

Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
From Settings -> System -> About:
OS 5.1.192 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
I'm using an MDA Vario on the T-Mobile NL network. Running applications include:
ActiveSync over GPRS/PushMail (via mail2web.com)
Agile Messenger over GPRS
Magic Button
Calendar+
I've got automatic network selection enabled, as well as the automatic password lock activating after 5 minutes of inactivity.
When replying, please included the same information as I did and any other information/questions that might be usefull. I'm interested in this information from people that are experiencing the same problem, but also from people that are not experiencing this.
Let's hope we can find a solution for this.
This happens to me as well. I hear a click noise followed by a total reset of the radio. The service search starts anew and within 20 seconds I'm back in business. Pretty irritating for business calls, however.
I am running the O2 2.21.4.1 WWE with a radio ROM of 02.07.10
im having the same problem. running summiters new 2.24 aku 2.3 test2 rom. 3rd party apps running are newspanel, weatherpanel, and agile messeger. we NEED to fix this

maybe it could have to do something with sleep-mode? Like that the device when going to sleep mode (or just switches off backlight) puts down GSM for a short period? At least I noted, that my screen was dark when it happened...
NO issues at all to report here but if you need me to try or change anything on my phone to test i will

This is just an out-of-the-blue thought, but have any of you with issues tried getting a new SIM?
I had an instance once where a SIM of mine would accept incoming calls but would not make outgoing calls (on any phone). After troubleshooting with the carrier and determining that everything was as it should be on the account the rep finally suggested that I try a new SIM. The theory was that the SIM had been partially damaged somehow (most likely from electric shock by moving it in and out of differnet phones) and couldn't properly authenticate.
Popped over to the store, got a new SIM and all was well.
Now, I'm not saying that getting a new SIM will solve your problem, but it's the only thing that comes to mind. Everyone who's having trouble, are the SIMs you are using older chips?
a 2nd question would be
are you sims unlocked or just CID
i just CID unlocked my phone ..
.. just wondering
new sim card helps
i was having the same issues with my phone dropping calls about every 5 to 10 minutes and i just went to the cingular store with the new rom and all on my phone and told the guy in there that they never gave me a 3g sim with my phone when i bought it and they had just used my old sim and swapped into it and the guy at the cingular store just took my old sim out copied over my numbers for me on his computer and then stuck the new 3g sim in my phone and i haven't had any issues with it since and that was probably 5 days ago or so it has been just great so that might make a difference
it even made it make the toast that summiter programmed this new rom to make perfectly now instead of burning it all the damn time
freakin sim cards always over charging my toast
hahahaha

hmm. plausible. im headed to the cingular store tomorow to see if this will work for me as well. I'll post back tomorow
I'm a little confused on 3g sim's fixing this??? This 8125 isn't 3g ready but is 2.5 edge from all I've read up on. Supposedly the Hermes later this year will be Cingular's 3g PDA. I must be missing something here I guess....

I've experienced this a few times in the last few hours.
I'm currently on Automatic network selection. I'll try changing to manual and see if that helps.
The only program I have running that uses GPRS is PocketWeather, which updates every 15 mins. That could be causing problems. The longest conversation I've had on this AKU2.3 ROM (xelencin's, which I've been running for only 24 hours) is 48 minutes. So if PocketWeather is causing the problem, it's not doing it every time.
i am not expercing this at all. im running aku2.3 (mr.clean) and have 0 problems w/ dropped calls
i am not running any gprs apps tho. and i send alot of MMS but i can talk for hrs without any issue.. just got off a 3.5hr phone call no problem at all.. thank god for my jabra cuz i couldnt hold this 1000000000lb phone upto my ear for 3 1/2 hrs lol
your ears must be bleeding :shock:
I have a totally new SIM in that phone, since I got it with providerchange... now if I only could remember, if I had the same problem with my old O2 SIM that I had in there previously (phone came 3 month earlier than SIM)
I do not have any problem (yet...)!!

well i just checked my phone and i have a pretty blue 3g sim in there as well..
THE PLOT THICKENS ! :wink:
ps you can tell if it is 3g (cingular at least) by taking it out and looking at the back
dave
hm, what exactly is 3G, or, where does the SIM differ? As far as I know, 3G is just a description of services (Videoconferencing?)
I'm not sure what kind of SIM I have; it says T-Mobile on one side, and just some gold connections and a lot of numbers on the other side. Any way to find out? It is quite a new SIM, about 4 months old. I have another prepaid SIM at home that I'll try, but it's T-Mobile as well and I got it only a few weeks earlier.
I've now got GPRS applications disabled, and switched network selection to manual. However, I don't make that many long phone calls, so can't tell yet whether it makes a difference.
is there a way to log the length of a phonecall? In call history it isn't visible...
I have cing 8125, have used various roms. I think that it's pocket weather connecting for an update that is cutting off my phone calls, usually between 3 and 5 minutes. I turned off pw updates and I was still on at 14 minutes. I have posted about this at sbsh forum
I have used various of customized wizard roms and have been pretty ignorant to the missed phone calls and no voicemail notification problem until recent(about 2 weeks ago) when I suddenly received a notification of 22 missed calls and 15 unheard voice messages. I think this is a fundamantle problem to any phone/ROM so we really need to get to the bottom of this. Does any one out there also have this problem? Please share your carrier and settings. Or better yet, please throw in a couple of ideas.
I have CINGULAR 8125 G3 and use CINGULAR as my carrier.
Here is my sympton:
1. intermittently miss phone calls, with no notification (missed call; voice mail) afterward. It might be related to intensively use some application like PIE or total-commander but I don't have solid data point to prove that. To proved it will need a pretty exhaustive testing being performed.
2. sometimes when trying to make calls, the sound quality was really bad and the call was dropped very shortly after making connection. However after a soft reset of the phone I could call out again with decent connection quality. Again this is really intermittent and not easily reproduced. However I suspect when the phone could not call out it probably couldn't receive calls either. So this issue could be related to the first issue.
First question is: Is this due to the new AKU3.2 rom? I am not sure about this because for once or twice with my phone flashed with 2.26 rom I still experience the problem that the phone couldn't call out until soft reset.
My other suspect is the omapclock overclocking. Because if the CPU being overclocked, maybe the cpu core that is in charge of the phone operation will get overclocked it cannot work properly when overclocked?
As you can see I am only shooting in the dark. Therefor any ideas will be welcomed/appreciated.
I read a lot about people missing phone calls and such when using the AKU 3.2 rom which is why I won't touch those roms anymore. There were even more problems with those roms on cingular, such as not being able to hang up without resetting the phone. You might want to do a quick search or scan thru the AKU 3.2 threads and take a look.
OK. Let me change to a different question: does any one has the same issue with a AKU2.x ROM? I am asking this because I am not sure if this is a AKU3 ROM problem.
How do I make a fancy poll in the beginning of this thread?
Same as above. You'll get a lot more out of reading the AKU 2 threads that are already have (and have been for some time) than by starting yet another poll few will answer. I've not heard of such a problem, nor have I ever experienced it. The AKU 2.3 roms seem pretty stable these days. I think, for the most part, this is a great example of "newer isn't always better".
Thank you Mark for sharing your thoughts and your experience. Which carrier and phone are you using? I have noticed that the cituation varies among different carriers also.
I have been using my cingular phone with both AKU3.2 and AKU2.26 and I have had at least 1 incident of phone not able to establish a steady call until a soft reset. And that's why I am trying to gather other people's data point.
Well I have the same problem with the following configuration:
MDA Vario - T-Mobile, Netherlands
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
Radio 2.47.11
OS 2.26.10.2 (AKU 2.3 based)
The problem of the missed calls came to my attention (via my girlfriend) when I was running a AKU2.3 based rom. At this moment I am still running the same ROM and frequently have this problem.
Hopefully this data will help analyse the problem. If I can help in any way, please let me know.
well i noticed an odd one with my kjam when i received it back from repair, it was using the latest imate rom which ever that was and it wasnt giving me the voicemail notification... it was just messaging telling me i have a sms waiting for me but i cannot download it because my phone is apparently full.. kept getting that all day, even though i deleted all of the 10 sms i had in there.
turns out it was a voicemail message. :|
There is a topic that makes clear that this happens on the dutch T-Mobile network too. I downgraded my radio rom to the original 2.19.11 and it solved my problem.
You can try disabeling the USSD service as it seems to help some people on Faria's 3.2 rom.
I have a suspect that overclocking of the CPU using OMAPCLOCK might be related to this problem. The problem to verify this is that I need a sequence with which I can constantly reproduce the miss call problem. Then I can perform further test with different combination of ROMs, applications, CPU speed configuration etc. I will definitely keep reporting my progress. Does any one have any suggestions/ideas?
Here is the testing schem I have designed:
I asked my wife and my son to call my CELL every 30min-1hr, leave voice message if they were redirected to the answer service. Then I can have a record and a clear indication on how many calls I have missed. Here is the current configuration I am using:
Cingular Plan with GPRS data package.
Molski AKU2.26 release ROM
2.47.11 Radio
No overclocking(195MHZ for 8125)
I will get a call hit/miss ratio after a day or two. Then I will switch to different setup(CPU Clock, AKU, Radio ROM etc.). Hopefully I can determine which is the determining factor in causing this missing call issue.
If you are interested in this test. Please join me and feel free to define your test scheme so we can have a broader test coverage. If eventually this turns out to be a Carrier problem, then we would have more data point to push the carriers to fix this.
Your participation would be greatly appreciated.
USA Cingular missed call possible solution
Like many USA Cingular customers with Faria's excellent 3.2 rom I started to miss calls and voicemail alerts. I would miss calls in places with great reception for no apparent reason, not just in places with spotty reception. I think I may have a solution to the problem.
Cingular has been giving customers a new 64k orange colored sim card to replace the older 32k black colored sims. I went to cingular to get my new card and I also received horrible reception at my house. After replacing the card several times the reception did not get any better.
I was able to speak with one of the upper level techs, and here is what was explained to me:
Cingular is in the process of combining all of it's network with the former AT&T network here in the US. Cingular has 2 networks each color coded "Orange" and "Blue". Cingular Orange is the original Cingular network from the time when SBC and BellSouth merged their wireless units. Cingular Blue is everything that Cingular got through the AT&T merger in 2003. This includes all AT&T Wireless GSM 850/1900 licenses, markets and network assets (i.e. towers etc). When I changed my sim, I also changed my primary network from Orange (registered on my old sim) to Blue. To remedy my spotty coverage at my house the tech switched me back to Orange.
Ever since I've been back on the Orange network I have not missed a call or voicemail, and it's not because I get better reception. I have been testing for 2 weeks now, and everthing is been going great! I have had the USSD service disabled, I just started the service again and will test with USSD on auto, but I'm guessing it will work. I will report back later.
This would confirm that it is a network issue, and not an issue for all users. Give Cingular a call and ask to change to the Orange network, you can always call to change it back!
Intesesting.... In addition to the missed calls and voicemail issues, did you have the phone buttons not responding issues? For instance, with any AKU 3.2 ROM, after a day or three, when I hit the "7" key to delete a message I see the & register on the screen but the phone's not aware. Or I can't hang up the phone and either have to wait or reset ...
tia
Sorry Dr. P, but I never had any of the button press issues.
I have been having this problem for about 6 months. On top of the problems of missing calls (I can call myself and while the landline I'm calling from will ring the whole time, the cell never wakes up or rings) I'm also having problems where I sometimes can't hang up a phone call or when I press a button in the middle of a call (like punching in my VM password) it doesn't register.
I'm also on Cingular.
I'm using a K-Jam using the last K-Jam FW. The only thing I have done is added A2DP using the patch (which I have since uninstalled). I'm not overclocking
If I soft reset my device, the problem goes away.
The only thing I noticed that was odd, is it seems to only happen when I've regsitered on a tower close to my office. It never happens when I'm anyplace else. Once I register on that tower, I have problems until I soft reset my device. If I never go to work, I don't have it. Could be a coincidence but I don't know.
If it's not a carrier problem, my thought is it's a system resource problem where something is dragging the memory down or conflicting.
More info (since I'm running a clean stock ROM):
I'm not running any today plugins that aren't standard (email, tasks, calendar, etc) EXCEPT I am running the wireless hack in the registry where it shows your carrier plus wireless info. I'm also unning PHM Tray Launch and sometimes when I soft reset my device, it won't display until I come back to the Today Screen a few times.
Other than that, I don't have a lot of SW installed on my device.
Hope this helps...
-Mc
I also have the button press issues. I can try to delete a message and while I hear the DTMF, the network does not.
I'm using the standard K-Jam FW on my K-Jam. No customized ROM here with the exception I loaded the A2DP patch.
-Mc
OK, I'm confused with my SIMs.
I have 2:
1.) 64k Cingular with green back. I originally got it from when I switched from AT&T wireless, 2 years ago, January. And it worked, so I continued to use it in my new phones. (Including my Wizard.)
2.) 64k Cingular with blue back. I got this one when I got a warranty replacement phone over the summer. (Says 3G, and has a different arrangement of contacts.)
I have to assume that I skipped over these orange SIM cards that keep getting mentioned.
Any confirmation or further info?
I would say for those who are on Cingular and having problems should post up which Cingular SIM card they have... That may cut through the possibility that the SIM may be the cause of most problems.
I used an AT&T Wireless (Cingular Blue) customer who was given the white SIM card with the black text and blue logo; I used to have lots of problems with reception and dropped calls with it and it didn't matter which phone my SIM card was in. I was told that if I migrated over to Cingular (Cingular Orange) that their new 64K SIM card could resolve my reception problems...
I currently use a Cingular 64K SIM (Orange and white color with 64K text) and it has resolved issues I used to have with previous phones. My unlocked T-Mobile MDA using the Radio ROM included (I believe it's the iMate Radio ROM) with Molski's new AKU 3.2 ROM has had no problems with reception or missed calls.
For those with problems with the ROM, I would possibly try to get a hold of a Cingular Radio ROM from the FTP server. I know that when my phone still had the default T-Mobile 2.26 G3 ROM, my reception was a little bit fuzzy on calls.

Yeah, it looks like you skipped over the orange 64K SIM's and got a 3G 64K instead.
Kudos to FunkyB! I always suspected there is something fishy in the network itself. Here is my test result so far:
Molski 2.26 ROM
2.47.11 Radio
No overclocking
Received: 11 calls
Missed: 1 calls + No voice message notification
2 extra findings:
If I press "ignore" immediately after hearing the ringtone, the other end will get busy tone.
If I press "ignore" after at least 2 rings, the other end get the voice mail
Navizon doesn't work on Molski's latest 2.26 ROM! (I found out this when I am trying to run every bit of apps I could find during the testing).
So here is another factor into my testing: Cingular BLUE or Cingular Orange. Is there any easy way for me to determine my network?
PS. I concour to Mr. McHale's finding also.

My Sim Card is orange color. Is it possible that Cingular still put you on BLUE when you have a orange colored Sim? I used to be AT&T but I switched my SIM about 6 months ago.
Hi all,
First post on this great site - keep up the good work!
I have an issue with my MDA Compact II - I've recently sacked my T-Mobile contract, and have a work contract with Orange, which I now use (I've used Lokiwiz to unlock the phone). Unfortunately my Orange SIM doesn't fully work on my MDA. I can make/receive calls with no problems, but whenever I try to send a text message, the following dialogue pops up:
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again."
Well, I could wait for 15 hours and it wouldn't change. I've removed the battery, and left that for an hour, still no difference. I've recently upgraded my ROM to see if that would make a difference - no joy. My current version:
ROM - 2.6.2.27 WWE
Any help would be appreciated - I'm having to use an exceedingly boring Nokia 6021 at the moment! I don't really want to resort to just using my MDA as a PDA! Cheers - let me know if you need further information to answer my question.
Upgrade your Radio stack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ghlight=Prophet+RadioRom+v2.61.21#post1112216
Worked for me.
Aparently, the SIM's used in a M3100 are designed specifically for these devices and later. Thats the official line from Orange...Just spoke to them for 45 minutes trying out 5 different devices and they have concluded its a "compatability issue"
I was using an M3100 SIM in an M600...although it DOES work in an E650...
Hope this helps!
I have reflashed the ROM on my TyTN II to the HTC Windows 6.1 version downloaded from their site. Everything works OK, except the phone will not accept incoming calls and i am unable to make calls out. Since this the unit has been reflashed with approx 5 different ROM's from Duttys Series (Which i had on when i purchased the unit) but it still has the same issue. It has also now had a different radio version put on and the SPL reflashed. Even after all this it still says no to incoming or outgoing calls. The strange thing is, that it does register on Vodafones network and i get a full signal, but no 3G. The unit is not locked as i have run an unlocker on it as well. I can send text messages OK.
Please can anyone help me with this problem, i am completley out of ideas and unable to use my phone.
Cheers.
Is the Camera working? I know that the tilt has many radios, could it be that you just need to try more of them?
Yes the camera worksfine.
I have tried a few different radios but knowing which one is the correct one is going to be tricky.
Do you know where i can get more of these?
Thanks
Have you tried disabling 3G (force GSM)?
Unfortunatley 3G dosen't seem to be available anyway. (Don'tknow if this is compunding the problem).
I have tried it on GSM but still no luck.
Don't know if the ROM info below will help:
R 1.58.16.27
G 25.61.30.03H
D 3.14.00.00
I have spoken to HTC and they said i need to send it for repair, but i would rather sort it myself. They wont even tell me if it is in warranty!!

well to be honest with you, that radio you are using won't work with the rom available on HTC website. Just saying.
I thought the rom they provide is accompanied with a radio?
try 1.65.20.29 or 1.65.16.25 or 1.65.17.56
Thanks.
I will give them a go.
also after you flash the radio and you do not have any service go into comm manager and make sure airplane mode is off.
You may want to upgrade your hardspl version as well to 3.28, 3.29, or 3.56
Good luck
OK, next, and probably final, installment.
Have tried flashing to a hard SPL and changing the ROM and Radio to various versions but it still fails.
I have now flashed it back to stock HTC settings as shown below:
ROM 3.28.405.0 WWE
Radio 1.65.17.56
Protocol 25.83.40.02H
Soft SPL 3.28.0000
I have checked the CID and it is a Super CID (all zero's).
I have tried the radios you guys recommended but all in vain.
I have also tried another providers SIM (O2), and the unit would not find the network and register.
I have spoken to Vodafone UK and they say my unit is not barred or blocked in any way (My SIM works in other phones).
I believe i have now come to the end of what i can try.
Does anyone have any other ideas before i turn my TyTN II into a very expensive paper weight.
Thanks.
That radio isn't stock.
You should not be attempting to flash anything without hardspl installed. But you must have hardspl installed if you purchased it with dutty's rom already on it.
Hold down camera button and insert stylus at the same time then report back with what it states on the tri color screen.
On the tr colour screen it reports:
KAIS130
SPL-3.28.0000
CPLD-8
Does anyone know if the information supplied below is correct, as i am still having major issues.
On the tri colour screen it reports:
KAIS130
SPL-3.28.0000
CPLD-8
Thanks
OK, i have taken some advice and flashed a HardSPL to the unit.
Since then i have flashed a couple of Duttys ROM's (The unit came with Dutty's) but it's still not able to make or recieve calls.
I think i should try and send it back to HTC for them to have a look.
Does anyone have any experience with HTC?
Thanks
Exactly which of Dutty's ROMs are you running now? And what radio version have you flashed? If you have a ROM/Radio combo that are compatible with each other and still cannot make calls, then it looks like you will need to send the phone in for service.
Before sending the phone in, be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Reverting SPL for Warranty thread prior to shipping it. HTC will check your SPL and ROM version, and if they are not OEM standards, you will be charged for the repair and lose the remainder of your warranty.
Thanks for all your help NotATreoFan.
The unit has been repaired by HTC under warranty. They have repalced the main board in the unit, and it now works fine.

You are most welcome.
I got me a Touch Diamond in the rounder shape of the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV. It came in a sealed box from eBay and I've used unlocking software that I also found on eBay. As it turns out, this software seems to originate from this forum.
As far as I've researched it, right after the lock was removed, the phone started sending SMS messages to the number SMS032837 each time it is reset (since I've never used this phone locked it *could* have done this already, but I doubt it). Even if I switch off the GSM radio, and then reset, the phone waits for the radio to come back on and immedately sends a message.
I have no clue to what's the message is about or whoever is the recipiant but that's not the main issue here; it should not do this, period.
ROM: 1.37.110.3
Radio: 1.20.OliNex
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09U
Anyone any idea what is going on?
TIA,

sorry i dont have any idea
try this steps
1-try hard reset
if not work
2- you have an old ROM so
upgrade it to the latest ROM for your country or use cooked ROM if you want
Could a program similar to RemoteTracker be installed on your Diamond ?
That would explain the SMS, as the software detects that you changed the SIM card.
yea sounds like some program like remotetracker, try flashing a new ROM, as i assume it's build into the ROM by the seller, no idea why though.

Hi,
I`ve got MDA Compact IV on T-Mobile UK with original ROM and Radio (I just need to) and I`ve noticed that after every re-boot it sends above mentioned by you text.
Actually, it sends 2 texts: 1st to 32837 (on the on-line bill it`s clasified as
"unbranded" and it`s free of any charge)
2nd to 100203005 (clasified as "SMS text messaging" and it is also free).
I was surprised as well, so started to investigate.
I`ve found that above texts got something to do with W`n Walk service and T-Mobile My Faves and they are like a system messages.
They are NOT using any of the tariff allowances and they are completely free.
I`m sure because I`m checking my bill very carefully every month and it is my 3rd bill since I started using Compact IV.
I think that every HTC Diamond and MDA Compact IV sends those texts when logging into GSM Networks, but not every network provider shows them on their bills. With T-Mobile it shows on My T-Mobile On-Line account, but not on any paper or electronic bill.
There is more info about the case on other forums, just "google" them numbers and you will find it.
So, DON`T PANIC, everything is in order.
P.S.
My handset is unlocked and I was using foreign SIM card with, whilst on holiday and I haven`t noticed any extra charges for above texts, nor any other problem.
Regards.

Hey snark_be,
I'm not sure, it's a brand new T-Mobile that I got in a sealed box. The owner got it as an upgrade but didn't want it. So it came locked to T-Mobile and I had to unlock it since I'm not a T-Mobile customer.
Could T-Mobile be using this tracking method? The seller of the unlocker could have added it, I don't know, he hasn't answered my email (yet).
The SMS goes anytime the device boots, not just after inserting the SIM.
HTC ROM upgrade site rejects my serial number if I want to download a new ROM.

That was the plan, but that seem's a bit of a hornet's nest. Can I assume safely that the T-Mobile is a true HTC Touch Diamond? Will I be able to return to non-brick if something doesn't work? I mean when I install Hard-SPL first (it's installed already by the unlocker, but an older version, like 1.24)?

Tom, they show up on my bill, so I have to pay for them. And my provider logs them as International calls.
I don't have the luxury of sitting idle because it make the device useless as a phone. I will peruse the forum about this matter but I was already planning upgrading the ROM as I find the device very unresponsive.
have a look in the rom section here and install a new one

Just flash the latest HardSPL, 1.93 I think, and then head over to the Diamond Wiki and download/flash the newest WWE ROM you find (1.94 I think).
