2.26 ROM + Dutch MDA Vario Problem

Hi People,
I'm having some problems with my MDA Vario with upgraded 2.26 US ROM. Before my upgrade I never had this problem. With the new ROM I have.
My problem is that sometimes my phone losses connectivity with the GSM network. This would not be unusual if coverage in the area was bad or something like that.
But the matter of fact is that nowadays sometimes when someone call me the directly are forwarded to my voicemail. My phone doesn't respond at all, no missed calls or even the network coverage icon in the top of the Vario that usually gives dots if it looking for reception and network coverage. It's like it gets stuck or something, but only the GSM part. Because the PDA functionalities are working ok.
So in short MY MDA VARIO has good reception but still sometimes my phone doesn't ring at all and forwards every call to my voicemail and after some time I might get a sms/txt about a voicemail is some has left one behind.
I hope people who also have this issue might also have found out a solution for it. I have tried to search this forum but without any luck on this specific matter.
People who are in Holland and have also upgraded to 2.26 ROM are you having the same problem?? please let me know.
I might have to consider to downgrade my Vario to the UK ROM 2.23 I believe if this matter is unsolvable.
Thanks in advance everyone who will reply.
Cheers,
Shah

Same here
I have the exact same problem, coincidentally (?) also with T-Mobile NL... See Explanation and Help - Please [2 Parts]
Some people blame it on GPRS: AKU2.3: GSM connection dropped while making voice calls
But I'm not buying that theory (yet), because I'm not running any GPRS apps, and to the best of my knowledge my phone will not automatically start GPRS connections if there's no app asking for it.... :?
Upto yesterday I was running this:
Operator: T-Mobile NL
Qtek 9100 G4
ROM: 2.24.10.1 WWE
Radio: 2.25.11
ExtROM: 2.24a Mr.Clean
In a desperate attempt (can you imagine the flaming you receive when your wife has tried to call you twice and only gets your voicemail :shock: ) I have now downgraded the Radio part only to the Qtek version 2.07.10 (which is the latest one they included with the Dutch version) taken from AKU 2 ROM 2.18.7.6 ExtROM 2.18.7.106 Radio 2.07.10 (you probably need to register to download this)
I have really no idea yet if this helps. The coming days will tell...
If anyone's interested to try this I can post the Radio ROM only (2.1 MB).
Cheers,
Marc

Hey Marc,
Did the Radio Rom update work for you? pls let me know. otherwise I'm going to downgrade to the UK version of the ROM for my vario.
Thanks,
Cheers,
Shah

Shah,
It's not conclusive yet. I haven't heard from anyone yet that I was unreachable, but then again: maybe they don't even bother to leave a voicemail anymore... :wink:
Marc

hey Marc,
I have downgraded my phone to the T-mobile UK official ROM as u might have seen in my signature. There is also a topic on radio only updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52952&highlight=
I'm not sure if I'm going to try this out on the US T-mobile 2.26 ROM just yet. Just to let u know I'm not having any problems with the UK rom. very strange. I might try to change the rom again in a couple of days. but will let u know what happens.
Cheers.
Shah

Shah,
so far I didn't have any problems after the downgrade of the radio. Maybe I'll try other ones later on, but for now I'll stick to this one.

ROM Flash Issue

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.
Thanks

[Q]Signal problems after update Rom

Ive updated my [Dutch] brand new Touch HD to Rom 1.19.. and now ive got some signal problems. I went to the mobile shop to check if there where problems but we switched phones and it worked good. So the problem is the HD..
It could be the antenna thats broke but Im almost sure its the Rom.
Is this possible? Someone got the same issues?
Thanks for the reply

I have this rom: [ROM] [SPA] RUU_BlackStone_HTC_SPA_1.14.412.5_Radio_52.49a.25. 26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
I have the same issues.

Ed, you can update the radio and see if that gives you a better signal.

Could it be you have an old type simcard? A friend of mine (back in the n95 days) couldn't get video call to work and had terrible reception. He thought it might be the simcard; I laughed at him and couldn't believe it. Turns out he was right and everything was fine after they gave him an UMTS (or something) simcard.
Dunno exactly what the old/new simcard type was, but after the upgrade everything worked perfectly...
PS: I had the same ROM/Radio as fitobierzo, but from dutch vodafone; no problems. Flashed to 1.19 WWE from Laurentius (v2), no problems either (probably helps that Laurentius26 is Dutch too ). Waiting for his v4 before reflashing again...

Brand new sim card they checked it for me.

i had the same issue over in the UK, the phone kept on disconnecting from the service provider constantly, and would drain my battery as the phone was trying to over boost the signal to compensate, got my phone exchanged, same issue... flashed new ROM's... no effect, updated the Radio and its been perfect ever since

Do you know what Radio version you upgrade from and to ?...
Thanks

Update
The newest radio version.
He went back a few weeks ago. They put back the stock rom.
Same problem.
I went to the Phone shop to complain and they contact there main office.
Main office contact HTC about this problem.
My phone is @ htc now. Hope they figure out what the problem is.

O2 sim not working

Just bought a kaiser, flashed 3.29Hard2, HyperDragon IV IOLITE and I unlocked it using OliPro's tool. Problem is my O2 sim doesn't work, I've tried a Virgin and Orange sim and they both work fine.

hi there, i have been having a similar problem, i get a signal very rarely with o2 i was told the solution was a different radio.

do you happen to know what radio that would be? I've tried 2 different radio's that come on Orange ROMs and the one that came with HyperDragon IV ROM. I might try a newer sim card, mine is pretty old.

did u find a solution, i have the same problem, a rare signal on o2, no one replied to my thread, maybe u have found one that works not to bad ?

well so far i have managed to get a signal elsewhere bar my house and my gfs, i flashed it with a new rom, she has the phone the now but ill let u know what radio and rom that is in it

Hope i'm ok? Just ordered an 02 simcard as contract on Vodaphone about to run out and 02 offer the best data bolt on for the price.
Mind you i'll spend all day flashing every Radio available if i end up with a signal issue
My nightmare carrier has been 3 so far.... It'll all depend on carrier signal masts... As Radio's can just be flashed and still not help if the carrier is not giving out a good signal in your area.....

My problem was exactly what I thought, my old sim card. I went to the O2 store today and got a replacement sim (had to ring customer service's to keep old number) and it works now. It has to be a 3G sim.
To check if your sim is 3G, it should have a serial number on it, if the last line starts with 3G then it is.
Btw I'm now using the radio that came with HyperDragon IV which would be 1.65.24.36.
If any of you get good signal with another rom/radio please do tell!

Problems with new phone

Hi,
Got my new TD2 on Saturday and think that it is a very good phone.
Now the probems:
Awlful radio reception (swapped over the sim and put it into my old Touch Cruise and get full signal- so i know its the phone)
Keep getting the following error messages:
"An error occurred with gwes.exe" also get "shell32.exe" errors. I report the error to Microsoft and have informed HTC, will update if i get any response.
Has anybody had any similar issues?

Have not had any of the issues. Maybe if you supply your ROM and RADIO Versions and what region you are in it may help?
Radio reception on mine is pretty good on all the stations here. I don't really use it though but have tested.

Rom version- 1.39.405.2 (47382) WWE
Rom date- 04/07/09
Radio version- 3.43.25.19
Protocol- 61.20t.25.10u
Using T-Mobile in the UK (Wiltshire)
Hope that this helps.

If you mean bad GSM/3G reception, you're certainly not alone. 3G is particularly poor, you really need to be in a strong signal area to use 3G.
You may get some improvement by changing the phone settings from "automatic" to only using your network, and the band settings to the UK bands only.
Other than that, we're all praying for an upgraded radio rom soon.

Yes, i see from other posts that signal quality is an "issue" at the moment. Got usual response from HTC (reset/hard reset/move aropund location/send back to retailer- might do this)
Tried changing bands to automatic, which was fine when had a signal, but when lost it, wouldn't find it again.
With the other issue, told to hard reset by HTC and wait and see what happens.

LOL..... I thought he meant the actually FM Radio. I don't know what I was thinking.
Any clue as to his other problems.......
Have you hard reset..... do those other problems still exist?

I have hard reset, and (touchwood) i have not had the error messages since, will keep updating as necessary.

Yeah, think i spoke too soon, it started to error again with shell32.exe, noticed that i am not the only one by using a search engine, it seems that there are a few issues with Windows Mobile.
Spoke to HTC UK again, and after another hard reset, will be sending it back to the retailer for DOA replacement.
Not the best start, but seems that is the price you pay for having brand new technology in this day and age!
