Inability to Connect to 'Some' Towers? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I've been living in the dark ages as of late... I finally went from WM6 up to WM6.1 (mainly for the threaded texting).
Now that I have, it seems that the phone doesn't work around 'some' towers... in other areas, it works perfectly fine.
If I try another ROM, will this likely correct this problem or is this a ATT problem? Any thoughts/info would be most appreciated.

Try another radio.

Is there a 'how-to' or something similar that could help here? I'm kind of a newb when it comes to ROMs and such...

How did you update to 6.1, was it the att update?

Downloaded the rom... double clicked while tethered and presto...
I'm not familiar with how to go in and tweak a radio... is it a similar process and, if so, do you have a link to a radio cab (if that's what it is) that will work?
Again, sorry to sound like a buffoon (although, I know I do it well), I just don't want to brick it.

What did you download, did you do anything before this, ?

Ehh... nevermind. I bought a Tilt 2.

OFFICIAL Cingular 8125 AKU2.2 ROM released/link. Experience?

Originally posted in a long thread by iceman0921. Figured I'd post a separate thread so people could find it. The thread it was posted in had like 186 posts so it would get buried in there.
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
I haven't tried it yet, still running 2.17 Summiter Custom ROM.
Please post your experience using this ROM.
i can't update yet since i'm at work
My "quick" experience thusfar:
OS Build 14928.2.2.0
IPL/SPL: 2.25
ROM 2.25.11.1 WWE
Radio/GSM 2.25.11
Ext. ROM 2.25.11.102
I haven't noticed much different with this build versus the 2.23 that summiter released late last week.
Note that it still has that USBSwitch program installed by default, so you will need to change it from Serial to RNDIS to have a reliable ActiveSync. Note that I think this is in one of the CAB files due to the fact that my phone synced before customization using RNDIS by default, but after customizations, I had to go to USBSwitch to revert back to RNDIS.
It is an AKU2.2 device and has the GetGood, Clearview PDF, and ExpressMail installed by default.
I can't tell whether or not it has A2DP as I don't use Bluetooth devices. Push Mail works well with my Exchange 2003 SP2 server.
(Summiter: If you read this, consider including the "Device Lock" application found in the development section of this forum)
*Email vibrate while sleeping bug is fixed...
*If you put the device to sleep, while plugged in through the USB cable, Windows drops the connection. Still Power Charges though.
*MediaNET connection not there. Has a generic connection with Cingular GPRS connection strings.
*WIFI cert enroller not working for personal certs. You can still do manually using PFX import utils
*Seems about as speedy as Summiter's 2.17 release.
Will report as more things come up.
WAP pages load quickly and the default settings for GPRS allow connection to GMAIL etc without any alterations.
Appears to be solid at this point.

It appears to, I know that I had used AWizard to Sim unlock my phone but now I tried a T-Mo sim and it didn't work! Just asked for the unlock code.
Thanks for upping this icema!
At first glance it appears to be the same as the aku2.2 (ROM ver 2.17.11.1) ROM, excpet that the radio stack is slightly different. The core OS and extended ROM are the same code-wise (only versioning numbers are changed). The bootloader code appears the same as well.
But, at least we have a full build with a more appropriately incremented build number.
I'll get crackin' on some stuff tonight.
I have intalled this but I can not find the cabs to add A2DP to it. Summiter what cab do you use in your builds? I looked on the FTP site and I can not find it. Want to use my headphones again.

Here you go,
I always unlock the Extended ROM and copy out every last file. Then I empty it. I figure if I can't build custom content then at least I can clean it out and prevent it from even trying to customize on hard reset.
is it worth going from summiters to this?
Hmmm, really want to upgrade. Only question is - how likely do you think it is that this will be the official Cingular release? Would hate to upgrade and then see official Cingular release in 2 weeks is slightly different.

Yeah, if vibe-on-email is important to you at this very moment. =)
There will be some customizations done shortly. (a2dp, cf2, themes, ringers, etc).
Speaking of themes, now that the date is back to being a single line, the themes included in previous ROMs look bad. (They had a darker background behind the 2-line date/time). Anyone have some suggestions for themes to add? Ideally, I'm looking for themes that will appeal to the widest audience.

I'm guessing, and only guessing, that since they've tightened this thing down with the connection settings change (got rid of the whole MediNET connection w/ proxy disaster) and removed the stray settings that are typically present on bare OEM devices (phone net select, phone TZ autoselect), it's pretty close to being a final release. Icema said that if this one passes regression testing it will be final, although I don't know his source for that info.
This ROM was built on 5/11, so I suspect it's been through testing since that time.

Windows live messenger & Windows Update do not work...

After I installed Korean IME on my CDMA Touch Diamond,
I cannot use Windows messeger and Windows Update. (I didn't flash any roms nor upgrade anything)
It keeps saying 'unable to establish an Internet Conncection' eventhoe
I've tried them both on Evdo and Wifi connected.
Does anyone know Registry key for this kind of problem?

From what I know, Microsoft has never, ever, used Windows Update to deliver WinMo updates of any kind to any device, so there's no real loss if it doesn't work for you.

Gahh! IS there an easier way to update the RADIO?

GAHH!! That's it I'm SICK of not being able to send and receive texts from my office since I got my Diamond!
Is there ANY way to update the Radio without re-flashing to a hacked ROM?
I really don't wanna have to re-do all my settings and install my apps again

I don't think so. If there was, we'd all be using it, don't you think?

I have no problems at all sending and receiving things with original rom and the radio came with this 1.93 version.
Which connection is not good enough for you?

I don't have the 1.93 ROM, my Orange branded beast came with .37 tosh.
Ah well. Looks like its time to take the plunge...
1) do full backup of your diamond using for example SPB Backup.
2) do whatever you need to update radio firmware
3) flash back hacked/cooked ROM you are using now
4) restore backup made in (1)
after that u will exactly the same settings and installed software as before. but with new radio.

Updating RADIO does not alter any settings and does not remove any apps.

Pretty fast? This place is like a rollercoaster on steroids. By now, TouchFLO3D can have custom themes, landscape mode in the Diamond is confirmed and working in Bepe's bElite ROMs and they're working on getting TV-out on the Diamond.

the process itself does not, but the installation of the needed HARDSPL does.
or isn't it necessary?
Trust me mate, just do it, and you'll have no worries.
I have the same orange phone as you on a .37, and I was apprehensive about flashing the Radio. I understood from this forum that it was ok to do this without upsetting the main ROM, but I was still worried I'd need to start again after all the time I'd spent setting up this little thing.
Anyway, I backed it all up on Sprite just in case, and chucked in hardSPL 1.24. I then flashed in radio .05, and I needn't have worried, it went smooth as silk, and my main ROM was untouched. The procedure seems quite invasive as you're doing it, but don't let it put you off. The ROM Update Utility is not totally clear about what it's doing just as you're about to hit the go button, but if you follow the procedure to the letter, it will all go swimmingly.
I'm now on Dutty's .07 radio, and can say it is an improvement on .05, and it's streets ahead of the old one it came with, especially for GPS.
You have nothing to lose...

Installed 6.5, even slower than before!

We all know how bad Windows 6.1 performed thanks to HTC never providing us with the correct video drivers...
I just installed 6.5 from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
And now my phone is UNBELIEVABLY sluggish, I mean 2 second delays between selections and screen changes...this is pathetic really
I thought people were saying 6.5 was faster
Anybody else have this problem
I don't know any of that. 6.1 was good to me and 6.5 better.
Just because you have problems doesn't mean we do.
You should be posting on TCP's thread. I'm using it and very happy .. in certain aspects, it's faster.
Did you flash OEM before doing this? SPL version and Radio is important too ..

I am a bit curious about that. I unlocked mine with hard-SPL after much fight getting it to run and installed the new radio packed with it and then updated to TCP Elite, and for some reason, the radio is acting up, I can get calls and when I hang up, I get this wierd humming noise even while hung up, afterwards which the phone wont answer calls. (Radio version is 1.70.Olinex, SPL 1.0 Olipof). Also, the camera doesnt work either. Anyone else having any issues with this and if so, what fixed it?

I would suggest reading the flashing for noobs guide again, as you have a radio that is hacked to unlock the phone and isn't meant to be used everyday, and you have an SPL that is in the exact same boat. Read my sig as to what I have for a Radio and my SPL, they work great for me!

Thanks. I am running what I am running due to having the white screen issue as well as the "rare" (per another thread somewhere) USB connection issue, so the ones I am running are because of all the hassle it took to get the USB to connect. Once I did, I was a little nervous about going much further. Thanks for the updates. I will surely look into it after work.

Just flash via SD card... I would upgrade your Hard SPL first, then upgrade your Radio... no need to hard rest after flashing any of those... just follow the sticky guides in the ROM Development forum.

Help needed ,X1 hang up calls

Hello i have problem with X1 ... About a week ago my phone hang up all outgoing calls after 12sec ...Upcoming call are longer but also hang up after 1min 30 sec
I tried everything,flashing up official rom,then putting some cooked ,i changed radio from 1.14 to 1.16 ,hard reset couple times ,the same thing every time...
I left the phone at service in my country ,they don't know what is a problem??? Strange...
I'm thinking ,maybe, you people know something to help me? Is it a chance for those problems are caused by flex cable? Everything working good on the phone...
Thank you everybody!
I to have this very SAME problem with my Xperia X1. I got to make a call to ANY1 and it just hangs up/ends call, on full reception/signal, and even with texts it says something like "Message not sent". I am looking to sell my Xperia X1 now, but REALLY need to fix this problem, and as the above user "Emrax" has already tried to "flash roms" and all those other things, I would say we both REALLY need an alternative and successful solution. Thanks
I to have this problem. What is causing this? My phone symptoms are similar to what is described here
Whenever I try to make a call, it sometimes takes the 2 or 3 attempts until it connects. Sometimes I can't hear the other person speaking either. Sometimes when I'm in a call, it hangs up too.
Whenever someone calls me, I can't hear the other people but they seem to hear me.
What is causing this?
I usually get 4 to 5 bars so reception is pretty good.

没问题! :) what ROM did you have before? does your new ROM solve the problem?
I think the problem relates to the phone changing from H, G or 3G and constantly looking for a better signal therefore hanging up during or before a call.
In the phone menu, I've set my band on GSM and GSM (900+1800)...
Seems to be ok for me so far although I have upgrade to the 1.16 radio using the 1.14 .dll file with it.
So the general solution to this problem seems to be upgrading the "Radio version" then? How do you go abour that, because I know how to upgrade or change "Roms", but not familiar wid "Radio"'s.

you can flash radio roms same as other roms
Aight then, thanks Draken Korin, but I don't even think my problem is as simply to fix as flashing a radio rom. NEED to try it though.
I've flashed the 1.16 radio and my problem has not been solved, but I'm glad others have had their's solved.

do you have the 1.14 .dll cab installed too? Do a search for 1.14 radio and install the 1.14 .dll cab.
Downloaded the "1.14.25.55" Radio zip folder but it does not contain the "1.14 dll cab", and I can't seem to find it anywhere on the development or general forums, althought I remember it being talked about before. Would I have to have the above "1.14" radio version installed for this "dll cab" thing?
radio and ril are separate and can be combined differently (though I wouldn't try a newer ril with an older radio, no sense in that)
just check my sig for it, gl
Well thanks, but what's "sig" though, and do you think this will solve my no calling or texting problem?
