Ok to start off, I love flashing different roms and flash quite often. Not sure when this happened but after flashing one of the many roms, I noticed my radio version changed. Come to find out, I had no reception at all. Like the service was shut off. Tried flashing back to my original radio with no avail. Tried flashing various different roms, same problem. Even tried the latest shipped rom, still nothing. I've contacted T-Mobile, thinking maybe they terminated my service. They say ever thing is fine on there end. Tried searching this and can't come up with any thing. Anyone have any ideas. The rest of the phone works fine. Just no service. Thanks in advance.

Must be a setting change that occurred. First off, did you go through the connection wizard that typically appears in the beginning which set up your services to your cell phone provider?

Hey Spartan,
No, I have no problems with my device. Yes, I did downgrade my radio, but everything works on my end...
As far as my signature goes, the bottom one is the config to my Diamond.

Oh...ok, I was wondering what was going on, lol.
np...
I do go threw setup every time. As far as the SPL you mentioned, are you referring to the rilphone.dll I'm using? I'm using radio - 1.17.25.09. But I have tried just about all the radios with there rilphone.dll counter parts.

Sorry for the noob question. My mind didn't even go there. I'm using SPL-1.56.OliNex.
Sorry about this, seems T-Mobile is to blame. After countless hours on the phone with them. They finally figured out that they "accidentally" canceled my service. Thanks everyone for your help. But there was a higher power here to blame...the brilliant minds of T-Mobile.
I got the same problem as you before. All I do is to switch off auto-3G. The problem is on 3G. BUT later I change ROM to Ongkolog Superlite version but still need to switch auto 3G off. Later after sometime I now can use with auto 3G. But times it still got problem with no service (auto 3G) if I move to new location outside from my area.
Good luck

Are there two physical radios in the Tilt/TyTN II? I ask because I'm experiencing a strange problem that nobody else seems to have seen before. That, or nobody noticed my posts here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335096
The problem is that phone/data work fine when the phone is in non-3G mode. (In the Comm Manager, available in most recent ROMs, I have disabled the 3G mode, so I'm using only GSM here in the US).
In 3G mode, I'll get a 3G icon (used to get an H, months ago), but will be unable to place/receive calls, and no data connections will be established -- they'll all time out or say that "the answering modem has disconnected."
So, back to my question: is it possible that my radio is partly damaged? Can that happen? I'm not sure how else to explain the utter lack of 3G on my phone.
can't have a damaged radio, you could have the wrong radio for the device and/or version of windows mobile. 3g only works if in 3g area,have it enabled and turned on through comm manager.also make sure you're network settings are correct and make sure phone is set to auto in networks tab in phone settings,not set to gsm/cdma
PS, the search tool/wiki are you're friends since this has been covered too many times

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I've tried everything I can think of, and everything suggested. Nearly ever ROM I've seen, with nearly every radio; every combination of wap.cingular, isp.cingular, etc. The AT&T store thinks the phone is defective b/c they can't figure it out, either. In response to your comments: tried every version of windows mobile and most of the radios available; I'm very much in a HSDPA 3G area (used to get 5 bars "H" all the time); 3G is enabled; network settings are correct; phone is set to auto/auto.
Any other ideas, anyone? I appreciate it!
I've been have the same exact problem. I posted about it about a month and a half ago, but got nothing.
Everything worked perfectly until one day, out of nowhere, 3G stopped working for me. I've also tried multiple radios and ROMs and to no avail. The weird thing is that when it stopped working, nothing had been changed in months.
I know that I'm definitely in a 3G coverage area because I used to get 3G service all the time.
If I turn 3G on, it'll work in an edge only area, but as soon as it switches over to WCDMA, the problems occur.
This is super aggravating.

Well, the good part is, you're not alone. I found another forum online (can't remember where, I'm at work now and I found it last night) were several people were having the exact same problem -- in various countries around the world, including the US.
They had decent luck flashing the stock HTC ROM and then the French radio mentioned on the big XDA radio post (search google for "kaiser radio" and you should see it). However, I did the same and still have the 3G problem.
did you try using a shipped att rom and see if you still have this problem? if the problem goes away, then maybe its just a rom/radio mismatch problem. if it doesnt, then its more likely a hardware failure.
I'm in france, and since few days, i've the same problem, and i haven't change the radio. the phone is going for repair.

As mentioned in this thread, some shipments of the TyTN II have faulty hardware with broken 3G support.
No patch or driver update can fix this because it is a hardware problem. I experienced exactly the same issue with my first TyTN II and finally replaced it with a new device which works flawlessly out of the box.
I believe you should also better get your device replaced if you ever want to use 3G.

Version de protocole : 22.45.88.07H ===> not changed
are you saying you have gotten your phone back? is it working now?
So i got a diamond for about a month now, and im pretty happy with it except for one problem which absolutly drives me crazy, and pretty much makes it suck as a mobile phone.
Tried searching the forum but can't see anything about this, my only guess is it might have something todo with 3G weak reception.
i still don't know when exactly this happens, under what conditions exactly.
but basically this happens a few times a day.
The problem:
I will get/make a call while having signal.
I click accept
as it is trying to connect the call suddenly all reception is lost and i lose my signal.
basically it fails to connect the call
a second later i will have reception again.
if now i get called again, it will usually give me the same problem.
I have absolutly no idea how to fix this.
tried reflashing the official rom, but it didn't work.
i really hope this is an easy fix, as i really like this phone so far, but seems my wizard worked better as phone.

its got radio version 1.00.25.05.

Hey aRnonymous,
It seems your radio is (1.00.25.05) quite outdated.....try this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432770
You will find many radios which you can use. Than you can see if your problem will be solved...probably a bad flash from your current radio is causing the problem you prescribed....
Good luck fella en let us know about your progress....
also...look @ my signature...this radio is working great (at least, in my opinion, you have to try many radios)
Regards
Jeroen
Hi, i´ve tested many roms, the lastest Dutty´s and Miri´s, and others and the lastest radio 1.14.25.24 with the bs_rilphone correspondent, and all the radios 1.13.25.24, 1.12.25.16, 1.10.25.25, 1.09.25.35, 1.09.25.14, i´ve tried flashing from sd, and from pc, but iam having a very low wifi signal, sometimes no signal, and no gps signal at all, using garmin.... I dont remember wich was the original radio on my hd, but i used to have a very good wifi signal, and gps signal too. Not happening now
Any help????
edit:
The only way i get a very weak wifi signal, when i stand near by my wifi router....

1.16.25.48 (Xperia)

Don't forget you need to have your phone security unlocked before you can use this radio or you'll brick your device

Have you always had bad signal even with stock rom? If so, could be hardware related so a warranty return may be best option.
If you have unlocked your device as you say, this will void your warranty. However, if you revert the SPL to the stock one, it maybe alright. Possibly someone like Olipro with more experiece returning security unlocked devices might tell you otherwise...
I had a very similar problem (no wifi and no GPS) and here's how I solved it. Remove the battery for 1-2 hours.

well..kinda solution..i´ve decided to open my touch hd my self, and switch the anthenas, wifi and gps anthena and carrier signal anthena, (2 black wires) now i have a very good wifi signal, and one time the gps connected to sattelites very quick, but when put all the screws back on, (i´ve broken one, very little ones),very difficult to close the device correctly.
Now i have a very good wifi signal, and carrier signal, but no gps signal....
In my experience i will never open my touch hd again!!!
I recently flashed my G1 to:
CyanogenMod 1.4
JACxROM-v1.3r3
ota-radio-2_22_19_26I
and the newest SPL
I've noticed the phone never actually gets 3g connectivity anymore - only edge.
Any clues?
Hmmm, that is really weird, did you check the settings and make sure the Use 2G network only is not checked? I dont get 3g either way because I am using att but I dont see why it would affect anything like that when you flash a rom.

Yessir. Its unchecked. I noticed this same problem as well back when I had my ATT Tilt (htc kaiser). Soon as I started flashing roms and radios, I lost all 3g connectivity. Had to go back to the dealer to get a new chassis.
REALLY hoping that isnt the case with this one. Did a speed test with wifi tether - I have four full bars of service, but I'm only getting ~20k/s downstream and the symbol by the service indicator bars is an E
I'll have some more time today to test it while out and about, using other towers and I'll report back here once thats taken place
Yea, I would try some other towers. If that doesn't work then I would try going back to the original spl, radio, and rom and see if 3g works then. It would really blow goats if that was the case, and I would brick the phone or something to get a replacement because 3g should work no matter what seeing as how it is a hardware thing. Maybe try a few different romslike cyanogen cuz I know people who use it and still get 3g.

Wont that brick the phone? I heard that going back to old radios is a no-no.
I beleive if you do it in the right order it should be ok but I could be wrong, try searching around. If not I would atleast try using a tmobile rom. I looked around on google and didn't find any info on this problem so I really think it is either a rom problem or something with the towers, I don't see how flashing anything would affect your 3g band or stopping the phone from using it.

If your gonna do this, flash the DREAIMG.nbh file from the original rooting process
F YOU HAVE THE NEW SPLE FROM HAYKURO.. DO NOT FLASH DREAIMG.NBH FILE IT WILL ALSO INSTALL THE OLD RADIO AND THUS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.........
It is an easy fix though... just Re-Flash the HardSPLhttp://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1...SPL/update.zip
Do that ^^^^^^ and you can re-Flash the DREAIMG.nbh (RC29) image with no problems
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did alot of searching and this is what I found, so if your still having the problem then this is how I would go back to the original rom. If you just flash back to RC29 DREAIMG.nbh without switching the SPL first then you will brick because RC29 flashes the old radio back along with the rom. Something else I thought of trying would be if your significant other has a 3G capable phone try holding the both in the same place and see if they get different reception (3G/E).
I spent some time driving around - no 3g connectivity at all.
So the consensus is to flash all the way back to rc29 and go that route?
also, that url that was linked above was shortened - anybody got the full one?

I am running on AT&T with no problems except where I live(very rural). My Blackberry Curve would get 2 bars with no dropped calls. I really like my G1 but I get from "0" bars to "2" bars depending where I'm in my home and phone either gives me "no service" when dialing or just drops some of the calls. Also, takes forever to complete dialed number.
Is there anything I can do to improve performance at home?
Many Thanks,
Stan
have you updated your radio to the 26I Radio?
To expand on what Bman said, if you have rooted your phone, please go to Settings > About phone and check the the radio ends in '26I'.
Followup ? on reception
I bought the phone used and it had 1.5, don't know if anything else done such as "rooting".
When I went into "settings" I now find it says its 1.6, but I couldn't see anything about changing radios.
Any further help?

Sorry I should have been a little more explicit. The radio is also know as the baseband. Sounds like your phone is running the official update, not much we can do in that case... (What I mean is, if it was rooted it might have the wrong radio firmware installed, as yours is official it will be up to date.)
Many thanks, I'll guess I'll have to wait for closer tower
