Recently about two weeks ago I had the RLOD. I took the battery in and out a couple of times and the amber light came back on. Since then I have had problems with my phone. It will show a strong signal with the 2 "H"'s sometimes but I can not make or receive a call. If I call my phone, the phone I'm calling from will ring but my Tilt does absolutely nothing. I can't connect to the internet or send/receive text. Last week I went into my settings and forced it to only connect to the GSM/Edge network and the phone works fine.
I dont know what to do? Any thoughts as to what could be wrong? I need my phone working right because im using a BB Storm right now and it is killing me!!!!
I have tried hard resets to no avail. The only mod that I have done to my phone is flash the HTC TYTN II rom on my phone and I did that when I first bought the phone almost two years ago.
Please Help me!!!!!!
R 1.27.12.11
Seems like I've read this problem before, do some digging around and hopefully you can find the other threads.
Thanks! I tried a search and found some info but nothing quite like my phone unless im not searching for the right thing?

My first full day using the phone. Hadnt had an issue until this evening. For some reason i can not make a call. Im in an area that only gets edge, but it shows i have three bars. When i try to make a call it never rings or says connected, it simply ended after about 7 seconds or so. I can however browse the internet or watch my slingbox on the phone so it seems my connection is good. I tried a hard reset, but issue remains. If i try to make a call it will go through maybe once out of every 20 attempts.
I saw a few similar threads, but nothing like this. Anyone have any thoughts?
apparently there is a huge outage in the NYC metro area with cingular. So, thankfully its not the phone. way to go cingular!
im having a similar problem on fido in Vancouver, tho i dont think its as bad as yours. intermittent phone use at best.
I am having the same problem as well. It just says dialing but no tone. I remove the battery and it works again. But a day later and then it starts to act up again.
I was advised to update my sim card since its 3 years old now.
I am with Fido in Montreal Quebec Canada.
I'd been using my Tilt when it succumbed to the RLoD. I went through the warranty exchange process, and received my new (refurbished) Tilt.
Inserted my SIM, booted the thing up. It was weird - I live in a place where I get 4 bars and full 3G, at least on my old Tilt. This thing was connecting, disconnecting, and everything in between. The antenna icon either has 4 bars, an exclamation mark, or three moving dots beneath it at any given time. I was able to catch one quick call from someone, but everything was rather dodgy. I didn't even bother to try the data connection.
Must be a radio problem, right? It had 1.27.12.11 preloaded. So I flashed HardSPL, flashed radio 1.27.12.17, flashed Dutty's DualTouch V3 Final. Hard-resetted and went through setup. The connection problem was worse! Couldn't make calls, couldn't receive calls, couldn't send text messages (still haven't tried data).
Upped to radio 1.27.12.32, but the service is still spotty.
I doubt this is the problem, but do I need to call AT&T and "reregister" my new handset's IMEI number? What else could it be? Did I just get burned by the same reason this handset was probably refurbed in the first place?
Any advice would be great before I spend all the time restoring this thing to factory specs and then spending another hour and $12 to get yet another Tilt ASAP.
Thanks...
PS - Just tried data. This thing can't even connect long enough to get the weather in the HTC Home Plugin.
try this, I havent read it, but maybe you will find there a solution(if its not a hardware problem).

Thanks - that's the first place I looked.
My phone showed 4 bars when I woke up this morning, so I called my voicemail. The call IMMEDIATELY ended, and the four bars were replaced by an exclamation mark.
I'm going to restore it to factory condition and most likely return it... this phone is messed up.
Hi Guys,
Ive spent the last 4 hrs trying to figure this problem out and i still cant fix it. This evening i upgraded my HTC branded TyTn II with the official WM 6.1 rom from the e-club aussie website. All went well and when i started up my device everything seemed fine. i was able to send a mms and make a call and i even received a sms from a mate. The problem started when i tried to reply to the sms. i kept getting an error saying " Your Txt Message Could Not Be Sent " and at the bottom of the screen i get a msg saying "error synchronizing". i have no idea what could be wrong? i tried doing a hard reset and even reverting back to WM 6.0 i still get the same problem. I have had this phone for months and nothing like this has ever happened. I am on the Telstra network.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated i cant have my phone not being able to send sms and not being able to receive mms!! as these are the features i use everyday!!

Just had this today myself. I'm not an expert here, so there will probably be more intelligent replies, but try this.
Be sure that ActiveSync isn't running in the background and that you set your connections to point to your GSM carrier, and Internet, rather than work network. See if that does it.
I had this issue with a ROM a while back.. it usually only happened when in landscape mode.. and also happened when another message or phone call was incoming.
Would be useful to see if this is a ROM related problem or a Radio related problem though.
Have you tried another radio?
Or disable 3G and force a pure GSM band.
I had this issue with several phones...

Also happened to me for the first time at 2:52pm today. I was using my Tilt in landscape mode, and immediately after the error came up, I received a text message. I then tapped to retry the send, and it worked.
Hopefully this is just a hiccup with the network...
I am from the UK and have been having the same problem over the last couple of days, aswell as the data not working either!
Phone my supplier (T-Mobile UK) and they said the data was caused by the 3G network being down but couldnt explain the text problem, they sent me some settings and restarted the phone and it seems to now work!

thanks for all your help guys
Can someone help me? I read through the WIKI and did a search and couldn't find anything. For some reason, my phone just totally crapped out! It won't get a signal at all then after like 5 mins, it gets a full signal and I try to make a call. It just goes to "Call Ended" almost immediately and can't find the signal again. The phone will randomly accept incoming calls, but if I answer it drops the call. Also, for some reason, I can't connect to my Windows Mobile Center anymore. I am running Kumara.DK.2.WWE with 1.65.24.36 radio. It was working great, then I just stopped. This happend to me before and I flashed a bunch of combinations of ROMs and radios, and nothing worked. I also tried all the HardSPLs to no avail. Then, like 3 days later, it just started working again.
If anyone has any ideas or could help in any way, I would greatly appreciate it!
Oh...by the way it's an ATT Tilt and i'm in Houston, TX if that matters.
Sound like a flaky radio chip. Hope you are under warranty.
As long as you are the original owner of the Tilt, you are still under warranty since the Tilt has not been out for a full year.
Follow the instructions linked in the Wiki to revert your phone back to original AT&T specifications, and then call the warranty group and have them send you a replacement phone.
Yeah...I just got the phone in March...Thanks for the information! I really appreciate the quick responses!
ok i have a slueth rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366284&highlight=slueth and have been running it since 6/08 and had no major problems. so in the last few days when i have tried to make a call it will just act like it is going to call and then it will say "call ending". when i reset the phone(shut off) it will make a call but after that it stops making calls, it will try to call and it seems like it is looking for service. it can have full signal and still nothing, i can't receive calls either.
oh wow this is exactly what has been happening to me! What service/region are you?
Does it happen with texts as well?
yes it does i dont get text, im from fl i just drove up to boston mass on sunday. i have att wireless.
I am from northern VA and here is my problem more in depth, hopefully we are having somethign similar so this thread can serve a purpose to us both:
Note: this started when I first flashed Hyperdragon3 (with m2d) and persisted with L26 Kaisertouch (flashed because I thought it was a problem with ROM compatibility.
From time to time, the tilt decides to, from what I've acquired, not make a proper connection to the network. Although it displays 2 bars or 4 bars whatever, it is unable to make calls, receive texts, or connect to 3g/edge. The calls turn out like so, I call, the phone says "dialing" for about 6-7 seconds and then makes the ubiquitous sound of a call ending the beeping noises.
Regarding texts, when this problem surfaces I can't send any texts "Your message cannot be sent" and cannot receive any either (usually receive them all at once a little later).
Soft-resets used to fix this problem but they don't anymore.
So far I have restored my tilt to factory rom/spl/radio and still the exact same problem is there...
This leads me to believe that it may be a hardware problem?
Any suggestions?
yeah it sounds like the same problem, i did try something that worked for the rest of the day. i took the battery out for about 20min and put it back in and it seem to have done the job. ill try tomorrow and see if it stays working. im quite sre this might not be the real answer but for now its a band-aid.
that doesn't seem to work consistently for me.
This is really bothering me, I don't know what to do.
any help?
I live in Fresno, CA and all the suuden my 1 year old tilt stopped working consistently and went from 3G to EDGE to nothing and I could not make or recieve calls etc and my batterys drained quickly. I doenloaded a 3G toggle to turn off 3G and just use EDGE (auto to GPRS). This worked but who wants to work on EDGE. Funny thing is that 3G worked in Sanger which is 15 MIles east of Fresno. SAnger just recently got upgraded to 3G.....
Long story short, I took my phone in and they exchanged it since I had 3 days left on my warranty. The new Tilt with Windows 6.1 is sweet with some new bells and whistles.
