Hi,
I've recently updated my MDA Vario to the new dtuch QTek rom (2.18 I believe). Everything went smoothly and my phone now has a much higher standby time. However, in the settings menu for my GSM network it says 'no service' where it should say 'T-Mobile. I tried softreset, switching flightmode on/off, using 'automatic' and 'manual' to select a network, removing SIM card, but nothing works? Right now, I can't receive any calls even tho people hear it like I'm just not anwsering my phone and the 'call' hardware button or the 'phone' button in the windows menu don't even open up the call screen where I can enter a number.
I only CID unlocked my device before I updated to the new rom so I am not sure if I needed to SIM unlock as well but I don't think so.
Can anyone help me out with this problem? Thanks in advance
anyone? I am beginning to think this is a serious problem... maybe my telephone is defect? :S Or do you think this is just a software problem?
try flashing it back to the old ROM
Can I just overwrite the 2.18 ROM with the older T-Mobile rom again? And if anyone else knows a better solution that does not require another rom 'update' please let me know!
Also, I've found out that a hard reset didn't work, in fact, I couldn't hardreset because when I needed to enter the Call key to confirm the reset, the key just didn't work... :?
Okay, after downgrading again to the T-Mobile 1.6 rom the phone seems to get a signal again? How can it be that the new QTek rom doesn't get a signal but the old T-Mobile rom does? I DID CID unlock the device, and altho I am unsure if it worked, I assume it did, since the QTek install went flawlessly. I did NOT do a sim unlock, but I figured that wasn't needed since I would stick to T-Mobile anyway?
Sorry man, I've no idea. The main thing is that you now know that there is nothing wrong with your hardware.
If the radios are different versions I guess you could try keeping the old radio and updating everything else.
Good luck.

Help! Unlocked Tilt Problems
i recently purchased a tilt online and it is brand new everything is fine with the phone but i unlocked the phone because my company switched from att to tmobile, so before i unlocked the phone my att 3g sim card worked fine with the phone, wifi worked fine 3g icon came up in network bubble at the top taskbar...but after i unlocked the phone and placed the tmobile sim card in the tilt, no Edge or gpsr icon shows up at the top next to the signal strength icon and when i click on wifi and go online everything works fine but after i go back to commanager to turn off the wifi....the wifi icon doesnnt go away from the top taskbar..its just shows the no signal wifi icon when the wifi is off. So then i took the tmobile sim card out and placed the cingular sim back in the phone and when i click on the wifi button and then press it again in commanager to turn wifi off the icon, it goes away like normal....so is there something wrong with my tmobile sim card? which is why its not showing any edge or gprs icons for some reason? even though i dont have a data plan i should see when i am in an edge area...what is annoying me the most is when i place this tmobile sim in the tilt, the wifi icon wont go away when the wifi is being turned off in wireless manager. PLz help this is very strange and i cant seem to find out how to gain these icons and lose the wifi icon when wifi isnt on.
wow are u serious nobody has had prblems with the wifi icon not going away or any other icons not going away when there not supposed to be turned on? ..this is a huge forum i know i can find someone to help me figure out why this tmmobile sim card is doing this to my phone and not allowing the wifi icon to go away from the top task bar when i go into comm manager and press the wifi off button it doesnt work...the wifi radio itself turns off and theres no data being sent to the phone from the wireless router but the icon stays on the phone and the only way to get rid of the icon is to go in comm manager and press the phone button to turn of all connections to my phone. This problem only occurs with my current tmobile sim card which is being used in an ATT 8925 unlocked tilt PLZ somebody help me get rid of this problem

I am not one to help because I am also a noob and your issues are not ones I have seen. BUT - let me give you what help I can:
Recommendations -
1. use punctuation.
2. use concrete sentences
3. specifically tell what you did and enumerate each problem separately
4. indicate what ROM you are using
5. indicate what changes you made to your phone AFTER you went to the TMOBILE card
Now - here are some guesses -
1. you had an AT&T phone with AT&T connection strings - and you think that unlocking the phone and simply putting in a TMOBILE card will make the phone work?
My guess is that you are going to have to change some data connection strings at least? AT&T is not going to allow you to use media net to surf the internet with no contract using a TMobile card.
Remember - you are asking people to use their spare time to help you fix YOUR screwup. Make it easy for them to read and help you.

You should not start more than one thread asking for help - you not only will not get helped - you will need an asbestos suit...
Here is your other thread:

moegdaog:
run this cab file on your phone and after doing a Soft Reset, go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connection Setup and choose T-Mobile from the list if the program doesnt run on its own.
Thanks to Dutty for putting this together for us to share with the ones not familiar with it.
that didnt work...all it did was add tmobile data to my connections. My wifi icon still doesnt go away from top taskbar when i turn wifi off. Since i unlocked this att phone an im using a tmobile sim card, do u think i should install the official tmobile windows mobile 6 for HTC phones? seems that this tmobile sim card is the culperate of making this wifi error, because when i take this sim out and place an old cingular sim in the phone it doesnt do this error. Wifi turns off when its suppose to and no icons hang around. If anybody has ever heard of this problem plz help...i dont want to go to the last resort of switching to WM 6.1 right now or something i like WM6

I will bet that you are not going to get help -
1. you use run on sentences that are VERY difficult to read
2. you do not specifically state your problem or goal
3. you state "that did not work" you do not QUOTE what you were trying so no one knows what THAT is (although I am suspecting that you ran the suggested cab file)
You need to:
1. use EXPLICIT SHORT sentences
2. engage the CARRIAGE RETURN KEY
3. enumerate your issues
4. tell us what you want to happen - we CANNOT guess what you have hosed up
5. Not an expert - so you will need someone else to tell you that this is true - but each company "brands the device and makes it so that the phone works with their system. If you are leaving AT&T and going with TMOBILE I suspect that you MAY need to flash to a ROM that works specifically with TMOBILE BUT
SPECIFICALLY STATE what you want - for example:
I have an HTC TILT - it was an AT&T phone and I want it to work on TMOBILE -
Currently - nothing works on the phone and here is what i have done.....
or
Currently everything works on the phone EXCEPT...
Just my opinion and I am going to quit responding to your message (which you may actually appreciate) as it is obvious that they have no effect.

dood whk im not in english class....im on an online forum trying to get help to fix my phone..get a clue or get a life cuz obviously u have nothing better to do but tell people to use punctuation when im obviously not worried about how i type in a freakin forum u jerkoff...and for have this thread up for a week and getting limited help on what i ACTUALLY NEED HELP ON MY ATT TILT AND WHY A TMOBILE SIM MAKES MY WIFI ICON NOT GO AWAY WHEN IM DONE WITH WIFI AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF..THE DATA STOPS BUT THE ICON DOESNT GO AWAY FROM THE TOP OF MY PHONE...IT JUST STOPS SEARCHING FOR SERVICE WHEN I PRESS THE WIFI OFF BUTTON...there, so i guess i need to use a new rom and flash a radio or wutever that is....that conection setup cab only put tmobile data in my conections. It did nothing to switch att defaults in the phone to tmobile, thnx anywayz guy who gave me that app....if anyone has had these issues with tmobile sims plz respond and not reply with english lessons
well no one is goin to read that type of garbage if its just one bigass blurb of words together...i'm with whk...and caps doesnt help either...maybe thats why no one wants to help u...and if u cant be bothered about the way u type...we cant be bothered to give u assistance ...just a headsup
well i solvd the problem myself by changing radios...thats all sommebody had to say..some of you arre a buncha idiots like whk....i didnt post this thread to get grammer lessons, i posted to get some damn help you morons so if u wana tell people how to type go to a fckin word proccessing forum u flamers
Good luck here in the forums, if you can't manage to follow something as basic as proper grammar and spelling, no one will bother reading what you have to say.
I for one, read MAYBE the first sentence in your posts apart from the last, and I'm certain I'm not alone.
and FYI, a better attitude will get you along ways here if you intend to stay. Your current attitude could likely result in a ban, and that causes issues when you need help.
dood....
You really need to read the links in my signature BEFORE you waste any more time on this forum.
I seriously suspect this is not the place for you as we actually expect you to have 3rd grade or better communications skills. Several members have attempted to help you but you don't seem to grasp simple concepts.
Thread closed as it is pointless. I would suggest you spend some time reading the forums if you really want to solve YOUR problems. The answers you seek can be found using search (and better language skills).
Thread closed due to rudeness!
moegdaog - consider this an official warning!
Please use polite language or you will be banned.
And in the future consider this simple fact:
No one can see your device so if you don't do your best to describe the problem no one can help you.
Also big chunks of continues text are hard to read and most people just give up.
Try to break up you posts in the future.
Got a new problem with my G1, basicaly I used my phone placed it in my pocket went out then when I next checked my phone I had no signal, I didn't take too much notice of it. When I got home and also there I had no signal, did the obvious rebooting, no joy. Then I did a wipe restarted the phone, still no signal now this is the strange part I had 3g because my phone let me sign in also started syncing my phone contact. I can browse on the net also download from the market but when i dial a number I get the message Not registered on network. So when I went to settings/call settings/network operators/available networks clicked on t-mobile it says Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network. Then just for fun try it with the other network operators same message. Also my sdcard was reformated.
Then I downgraded to rc7 (dreaming.nbh) rebooted no call signal but can browse and use market so I've updated to android 1.5 ota still no joy any ideas I planing to take to a t-mobile store let them check it also has anyone else had this problem before.

Sounds like a problem with your network, not with your phone. Either that, or your SIM card is fried. Assuming you're on T-Mobile from your post, you need to contact them for a new SIM card (you can do this inside any of their stores.)

It really may be the SIM card or the SIM card reader in your phone (more likely the SIM card) it may work on another phone
try cleaning the contacts (the ones on the phone, not the ones IN the phone) ?
Call customer service and ask them to take you off whatever tower your phone is now on? suposebly pulling the battery will do it to.. Also get Anycut and make a short cut to phone info an toggle radio on off?
same problem occasionally

i'VE had the same issue, occasionally, I'm fairly certain its the sim card, not the phone. you can take the battery out, pull out the sim card, clean it up (don't use watter or anything that'll scratch it of course) and put it back in, make sure its securely in there, and boot up the phone, however, I've also noticed that sometimes in the middle of the night (like around 2AM to 330AM PST) sometimes cell coverage gives out for t-mobile where I'm at (friends confirmed), if you only just recently recieved 3g in yoru area, they are doing maintenance to get it up and running perfectly, so don't fret too much
EDIT:
Another thing I did was made sure to mess with the APN settings. dont' edit them, just try and change your APN from T-mobile to ATT, wait for it to say "not supported by sim" and then switch back over to T-mobile, that worked for me twice now
I'm having this same problem, only I can't surf the web or use the market. :\ Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Sorry to reply so late but the probem is now solved, this is what I did, I took out my sim card out the phone put it in an old phone to see if my sim had any issues but I forgot to take out the sim and put it back in my g1 went sleep.
Next morning put the sim in my g1 and all is fine got connection and all functions working, then waited a few hours no problems at all.
So I rerooted installed the danger spl and custom rom and the probem has just vanished, haven't got the slightest clue why that happened or what caused it.
The sim is new just under a month old lost my old 1 uk t-mobile charged me just under a £10 for a new 1 even if your on contract thiefs

its probably
A) the SIM got dislodged or
b) your G1 contacts were dirty.
All the above could cause the phone to not read the information on the SIM
Blowing the dust out/wiping the goldcontacts where the sim goes, and tightly inserting the sim might help, grandmegabosses
HI
Sometimes my Kaiser went out of the network(att) and can't get back.If i perform a manual search it found att and tmobile and when i try to connect to att, the device inform me (pop-up windows):
"Network error
Cannot register on selected network choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again"
I don't have any open data connection at that moment .If i soft reset, it reach the network again.
Spl 3.56
Radio1.65.17.56
ROm Ultimate-X.V9.WWE
Prot 25.83.40.02h
Ps even with the original rom or another cooked rom, i get the same issue.
Any idea??
I have a similar problem withy my phone for about a month now. I have this problem every morning. I am so frustrated that I started considering switching the phone.
I am running standard AT&T 6.1 Pro ROM
I live in Chicago.
I finally found the solution. What happen with my devise is that the connectors of the sim card barely touch the sim card.
I used a little screwdriver since that everything works perfectly!!!
So this all started after I flashed Cyan4.2.4 on my G1, (I usually get 4 bars of 3g where I am ) and now I usually get that when I turn my phone on, but after a good 1-4 minutes, I have no service at all, I can't call anyone, and I have no contacts from sync. After another 5 minutes, I get full service, then it cuts out again after another 5 minutes.
When I try to search for available networks via wireless controls, it finds T-Mobile, and it connects, but still for only that 3-4 minutes, and it tries to sync, but I still have nothing.
I haven't dropped my phone, or opened it, or anything else that I think might mess up the internals of it, I tried flashing Dwang, cyan 4.2.3.1, and some other randomly picked roms to see if they work, and I get all the same things happening.
Is this something at T-Mobile? Is it my phone? Am I an idiot? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I rely on my phone for a lot of things.
Thanks.
It sounds like your SIM card is loosing conection with the terminals. Try opening up the back, and slipping a piece of a business card between the all plastic side of the SIM card and the housing, this will press it down into place better.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, go to your local shop and get a replacement SIM/test someone elses SIM first to see if it does the same thing.
I tried what you did, and testes someone elses sim card, but I still get the same problems.
I haven't dropped my phone or anything else that would mess up the internals.
Is there any way for me to revert back to the original (unrooted) firmware, I have the danger SPL, so I can't really downgrade that dreamingh file ( or whatever it is, IDR off hand ) Or is there a 1.6 version of that with the newest radio I can flash without worry? I want to see if it works on that...
Thanks for the help, I really hope it's not something internal, I can't really afford a new phone, and this one I got on ebay, so I'm sure T-Mobile won't help >.<
you can still flash the RC29 image w/ the haykuro SPL
You can also try Dwangs rom its 1.6
