Hi people,
I'm surfing around this forum for a few months now and found some very helpfull software, thanks for sharing this.
I own a HTC S730 for 14 months now, the telephone always worked great.
2 months ago the problems started, the telephone starts crashing by downloading e-mail (E-mail with standard Outlook and some IMAP4 mailboxes) and sometimes with phone calls during more than 3 minutes.
When the telephone is crashing it is getting warm and turns off.
When i turn off the telephone again it works normal again, i only miss some call history, text messages and e-mail like it's resetted to an earlier time, 1 hour earlier or something.
After that i have searched on many forums for an answer, but i couldn't find one. I decided to flash the telephone and install WM 6.1 the dutch version from this forum.
After the reinstall it worked well for just 1 day, after that the problems returned (also with other versions of WM, i've tried this).
Finally i decided to sent the Telephone to HTC support, they just updated the sofware and replaced the cover. This had no effect, i still had the same problem so i decided to return the telephone again.
The 2nd time they did a boardswap, so you'll think the problems are solved now.
I've recieved my telephone yesterday, i have installed it today and now the telephone is crashing again.
Does anyone have the same problems with this telephone? i'm getting frustrated of this thing but i think the people who read this post will understand me.
If you have any sugestions feel free to post.
So to summarize your post:
- Phone crashes with both original and modified roms
- Reinstalling seems to temporarily solve the issues
- A boardswap didn't solve it either.
Apart from the last point, this all appears to me it is a hardware failure. This means you now have had 2 different phones which both crash? Are you really sure they actually changed the board and just didn't tell you that they did? Is the IMEI number (*#06#) still the same as on the box? (different board = different IMEI).
The only other thing that I can think of for now is your SIM card. It may be faulty, which possible renders the S730 unstable.

Hi All,
Something weird happened yesterday, my tytn II stopped working normaly.
I cannot make calls anymore and people calling me get my voicemail, although it shows full reception (t-mobile). The only call works, is calling my voicemail. I didnt change anything in the phone prior to this problem.
Also the battery is dropping down very fast. Like 50% in 5 hours without using anything...
I putted my sim in another phone, it works fine, so the problem lies within the phone. I hardresetted the phone but the problem remains...
Anybody had the same problems and/or knows how to fix this???
I have an original HTC tytn II on tmobile network.
THanks!!

found comparing problem here, probably same problem:

Any help is welcome, also for the other users with the same problem!
Thanks!
same problem
Hi,
I also have the same problem you write about. It also happened for no apparant reason. I notice that I can make calls to other mobiles that are close to my phone in proximity... odd?!
I've sent an email to HTC ... waiting on a response.
I have started getting the same sort of problem. When I try and make calls - it just won't connect. Sometimes a soft reset works - but not always. People cannot call me and I get messages about missed calls and voicemail messages.
It's starting to make my Orange TyTnII virtually unusable.
Suggestions?
Had my O2 Steller (rebranded kaiser) with the original ROM for about a month and I cant believe it but i think its turned into a brick.
The problem I have is even though it gets a full signal I cannot send or recieve calls, texts or transmit any data. When the fault happens during a call I have the phone looking like it is connecting with the dialler but immediately ends the call.
I had initially thought it was maybe a bit of software causing the prob so removed any software I had installed , (HTC home Skype and google maps) this had no effect. Tried another sim card in case mine was faulty, still no effect.
Spoke to a mate who suggested that I try a hard reset and this seemed to give me a solution with it working for a day but today it started to go faulty again.
Anyone else had any similar issues similar?
Really peaved as O2 cannot get me a new Kaiser for some time as they initially said they were no longer available, then said they were out of stock but had no idea when they would get stock back in. Tried to palm me off with lower spec phones.
Main concern is getting my kaiser working again, so any help with this would be great.
id try a hard reset once more.. if that fails, call your service provider. they might be the cause of the problem
not techinally a brick since you can turn it off and on and see some functions... I might recommend completely flashing the rom... that might solve the problem if it is indeed a software problem
Hi,
I have a V1615 from one of our users which has a bit of an unusual problem in the while trying to connect to GPRS/3G the following message appears after a minute or so of trying:
The answering modem has disconnected. to check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings
The voice function is also odd as while trying to call somebody, you wait awhile and then get three beeps and it hangs up. The signal strength mostly show no signal, but even when it does, the chance of getting through seems poor.
The problem is, this was happening when the device had WM6 as the O/S, I upgraded to WM6.1 from the voda website, and the same issue has occurred from the fresh install. The SIM works fine in another device, and the device still fails to work with a known working SIM in it.
Vodafone have taken all the services and re-applied them to the users number in case there is a server problem, this hasn't changed anything.
I would be inclined to think it's a faulty device - except that this is the second device the customer has had with exactly the same fault. The last one was changed a month ago and it seems to be happening on a monthly cycle as he's only been issued the device for two months.
Anybody any ideas? I know the user well and know he's careful with kit (& I don't think he has any significant magetic field that could cause this problem!! ).
Just seems odd that two devices with the same user has the same fault, despite fresh installs of the OS!
Cheers in anticipation.

Hi there
I'm having a slight problem with my O2 XDA Stellar in that every now and then, it lights up as if it's receiving a text, and then nothing happens. Each time this occurs I'm actually missing a text message! It's as if the message is received, but is not displayed or saved on the phone...
I only seem to have had this problem since upgrading to the official O2 WM6.1 ROM - however, my mate has a Vodafone branded Kaiser (V1615 I believe) on the original Vodaphone (UK) WM6.0 firmware and he's experiencing the same problem.
I run Kasperski Security Suite on mine which includes an AntiSpam scanner, sometimes this would pop up and allow you to 'whitelist' known numbers. I've entered the respective numbers (even duplicated the entry with a +44 version just in case) and it still happens. I've also tried disabling the AntiSpam and this makes no difference.
It seems to happen about once a day at the moment, and the worst thing is that it's most often texts from the wife that I'm missing (probably cos she texts me the most!) so I can get into a bit of trouble sometimes for not picking her up / doing stuff for her etc!
I was thinking of backing everything up with Sprite Backup, hard resetting and then restoring everything.
Quick edit: Just to specify that this happens to texts from all carriers, O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Virgin, Orange, 3...
Any idea's?
Bump!
Has no-one else had this problem and solved it?!
i know this won't solve your problem but try signing up for O2 Bluebook? it keeps a copy of your texts online so you can check there whenever you think you've missed one?

If you guys are running different versions of the OS, different radios, but the same carrier i'm guessing that it is a network issue and not a software issue.
i was runnin the 6.1 from o2 and its been fine no probs at all.
Hi guys!
Thanks for the replies!
Scotchua - I'm on O2 and my mate's on Vodafone so that kinda rules network out!
O2XDAEXEC - Well that's quite promising, I might try a hard reset and restore and see what happens...
I suspect something may be running in thr background when this happens. I set my mate's Voda Kaiser up for him as he's not too computer savvy, so it has most of the same apps I run on mine. I'm thinking one of those might be running periodically and somehow stopping the SMS being recorded?
Well, tried a Hard Reset and restore with Sprite Backup - got the Mrs to try a test SMS - nothing. And another - nothing.
I got her to do the *0# at the start of the message (prompts a delivery report on O2-UK) and my message came through and she got the report! Seems to have been fine since (fingers crossed).
I know no-one seems to have suffered the same problem but my phone lost another text this morning
Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!
Hi guys.
I just bought my XDA Diamond and updated it to the new official o2 Firmware version 1.93 something.
Unfortunately my XDA doesn't run as smoothly as it did before. From time to time multiple errors occur at the same time. First of all it's hard to make a call - the phone can't establish a connection. If I'm lucky and the phone establishes a connection I can't hear my dialog partner and they can't hear me. Furthermore the ring tones don't work (I can't hear them, the phone only vibrates) and if I get a text message I can't hear the text alarm but the phone keeps vibrating until I change the profile to silent.
The only way to solve these problems was to switch off the phone and switch it back on. The errors occur at random times, I can't predict them. I can send text messages while these errors occur but calling is impossible
I was in an o2 shop and asked the personnel there what the heck's wrong but they only told me "switch it off and back on".
I assume there's something wrong with the software since all the errors occur at the same time. Otherwise there could be a hardware defect. Because of that I'm afraid to load a cooked rom - warranty and jazz.
Has anyone experienced something similar and/or is there someone who can help? It's really annoying to never know if I can call someone/someone can call me.
Kind regards,
Martin
got exactly the same problem .. when i got the diamond i started "optimizing" it with tools like advanced config. after playing around with cache settings it occured for the first time so i thought it might be a memory leak. then i made a hardware reset and applied the newest official O2 rom. problem is still there randomly, so its a hardware issue most likely. strange thing that u got it when updating the rom. maybe there wasnt enough time for it to appear before ?!?
i checked google and there have been similar issues with older htc devices. some stated it might be a shortcut with the headsetfunction. unfortunately it seems to be very rare, so theres no official statement in faqs etc. will have to send it back and hope that i get a working one.
ps : do not mess around with the warranty. just send it back.
Thanks for your quick reply.
The guys at the o2 shop told me that it's a software defect (the guy I talked to said he's got the same problem) and that they can't help me.
I will definitely go back there and force them to replace it. The randomness of the error is the most annoying thing. One minute it works the next it doesn't. It's impossible to use the XDA as a phone at the moment.
I've never had any problems with my last six cells. I'm pretty disappointed with the Diamond
PS: Does anyone else have an opinion on the topic? Maybe a solution, hint, help in any way?
I highly appreciate any response.
Sincerely,
Martin
denk dran dass du als onlinekunde bei 02 anrufen und es selbst zurückschicken musst. die antwort hab ich bekommen als ich im shop stand.
Hi Martin,
did you try to re-flash the diamond again? Maybe something went wrong by flashing the 1.93 ROM. Had the same problem with a ROM from here, but I don't remember which one it was.
So, try re-flashing. The O2 1.93 went well on my diamond.
Kind regards,
Volker
Can you confirm where you obtained the official O2 rom from.

No, I didn't reflash the device. Can I flash it again with the official Rom without doing something? Kind of override the ROM with the same ROM?
I got the ROM from the o2 website o2online.de

Yes, no problem. However, first download the update file once more. If you can, try another browser / download manager, just to be sure there is no transmission problem.
If that doesn't work, try flashing the "old" firmware, if the problems don't persist, it's no hardware problem for sure. Then try another GER 1.93 ROM from the developers.
I did a re-flash of the original ROM. Haven't experienced the headphone/microphone problem again yet, but I often lose the connection after I answer incoming calls. The network symbols in the top line (3G or G and the network symbol) show a "X" and network plus an "!". After that it reconnects and I can call back.
What the heck is wrong? This is so annoying!
edit: strangely there was no ring tone when I answered the incoming call.
Hi folks.
In addition to my other problems a new one occurred. (Almost) every time I get an incoming call my phone looses the network, causing the call to end. Strangely, the phone shuts itself down from time to time while I'm answering incoming calls.
I went to o2 and they have the phone sent and repaired. As soon as I get it back I will tell you what was broken and or done to fix it.
Maybe someone here will experience a similar deterioration of their Diamond - but hopefully not!
Kind regards,
Martin
Meh, I've been a diamond user for a couple of months now and as of this week I'm getting these problems as well... Got into an argument with my girlfriend because of me not hearing when I'm being called. I don't have a mobile phone for nothing I want to be able to receive calls damnit!!!
It doesn't ring and/or vibrate often, and switches to 'silent' mode. At first I thought it was because of a soft reset I did recently, but then it also happened when I didn't reset it
Also, sometimes the 'phone application' (i.e. the dialer) doesn't come up when I'm making a call or receive one. So I can't answer the call.
I have original ROM (1.93 Dutch) that came with my phone. I did some tweaking though and I use S2U2, but they worked fine before...
I'm seriously considering going to T-Mobile and ask for an Omnia or something. Heck, I'd even pay for an iPhone...
