Ever since I've updated my 8125 to use any of the various 2.x firmware updates out there, I keep having a real annoying problem where calls drop, my antenna symbol shows a little x and I keep hearing these little blips through the speaker even though I'm in an area where there is a good signal. This never happened to me on the original 1.x rom, and there have been several times where this happens and people who have tried to call me can't.. then I notice the x next to the antenna symbol.. if I do a soft reset of the phone, my service is restored when the phone boots back up. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, anyone know what ROM version is the most reliable?

Hello,
I have been a member for about 3 months or so but not been a heavy poster. (sorry about that)
anyway I have a small problem which normally gets solved by a few searchs but I don't seem to be having any luck.
I Have an Orange build kaiser (installed the today screen) and have hard reset the device a few times after encounting the same problem again and again (about to hard reset for the 4th time i belive)
back to the point, the problem seems to be a simple one in that new SMS don't appear on my today screen... weired?! and last night was the worst my phone was on charge but in standbye mode but my girlfriend couldn't connect any phone calls and when i checked my phone i had a mountain of missed calls and a bundle of txts which all came through at the same time on wake up..
(I've mentioned the fact my phone was on charge because search results suggest it was due to a 30% or less battery)
when i had the problem before I thought at 1st it was one of the many many cabs that have installed so this time i made sure i+I only had on the minumal
(forgive me but with the phone not being with me I am not sure on the names but here is the list)
HTC Home (maybe an old verison but i have tried many verisons)
HTC Home customiser (with IPHONE apps theme)
TOM TOM 6
HTC touch Keypad
A program to stop the phone connecting to the internet
A program that on start up my phone switches directly to the Keypad
Like I said used to install loads and loads of cabs but now limiting my self to a few to try and rectify the problem.
any one else had this problem? should i send it back to Orange? (I have insurance), will there be problems reinstalling TOM TOM? is one of the apps i have currently installed a problem?
any help would be much appricated and thank you in advance.
Does it exhibit this behaviour if you leave the phone in shipped condition, with NO software installed by yourself? If so, then it's faulty; if not, then install your apps one by one and test until you find what's causing it by process of elimination.
thanks for the reply...
I was going to leave it this time around with the dreaded orange home screen, was hoping someone else had a simular problem with one of the apps i have already mentioned
I'll give it a go tonight and see how it goes
thanks again for the reply
Evening all.
I've encountered a strange problem with my Vario III this evening, having installed iGo on my phone. Basically, if I put TTN6 on, the sound is a lot quieter than normal, and I can't change it. I've uninstalled iGo, but it hasn't sorted out the sound on TTN6. I've had this happen before, when I installed Skype on my phone...same thing...TTN6 loses volume (not totally, but noticeably). Uninstalling Skype sorted that out. However, this time I haven't been able to fix it by uninstalling the program. I'm using the original T-Mobile rom. I've removed two registry entries I could find for iGo, but it still hasn't solved the issue. Any help would be appreciated, as I prefer TTN6 to iGo.
One more thing - how do I get the annoying error message that keeps popping up now that I've uninstalled RSShub? (says something about being unable to execute windows\rsshubwakeup.exe).
Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Tried reinstalling TTN6, but to no avail. Still very quiet compared to how it usually is. I would assume it's a driver issue, but have no clue where to start looking. Another thing I've noticed is since installing iGo, my battery consumption has gone through the roof. Just now, my battery usage went up to 1400mWs for no reason other than to send an SMS. I have no other processes running. Before I put iGo on there, my phone rarely went above 400mWs, and idled at around 93mWs...it's now idling at 250mWs.
Don't worry about it. Hard reset my phone this morning and spent the rest of the day reinstalling everything. Not finished yet, either.
Does anyone experience "Grey Screen of Death"??
Every couple of days my Diamond crashes, the screen is stuck displaying a noisy grey screen.
Most likely I will have to reinstall the ROM (I'm using SwiftBL 5.5) ... but if there is a simpler solution out there I'd love to know it,
Thanks,
Mike
I've seen that kind of screen but only when I'm playing a particular game and if I switch the Diamond off before closing the game down; when I next switch it on I get the noisy (mostly) grey screen. When this happens to me though I just need to toggle the power on and off a couple of times and it sorts itself out. Or just not switch the thing off when playing that game of course.
None of which helps you of course as yours sounds like a much more serious and randomly occurring issue.
never heard of it before. try changing to a different Hard SPL, these can have funny effects sometimes.
Thanks for reply. Well, at least I'm not alone.
Mine is more worrying alright. I left the Diamond in standby last night, it wasn't running any apps before that, and the phone didn't wake me up with my normal alarm as it had crashed sometime during the night, not doing anything in particular.
do you notice it get unusually hot at any time?
with some diamonds, when it is processing a lot and on charge it can get very hot, and this may have caused ur problem.
Maybe the Hard SPL will help.
One possibly odd thing I notice is that my ROM is listed as 1.93.00.00 on the bootup screen, I expected this to be 1.93.405.1. Is that usual?
It's not the hot or charging possibilities.
I can't find a pattern really, it definitely crashes just sitting there doing nothing.
Does this also happen with a stock rom?
I didn't see it on the stock rom, but that didn't last too long in my diamond and I've been running the Swift one for a couple of months now.
To rule out SPL and radio, you could try different versions there. If that doesn't help, try flashing another rom (maybe also the stock rom).
If this still doesn't get rid of the GSOD, I would send the phone back for repairs.
Sorry, I couldn't be of more help...
Good suggestions, thanks. At least there's something to try without flashing whole rom.
mine is the same, seems to only do it when phone is charging but idle overnight, and certainly not hot when it does it. I am running the stock 1.93 ROM. Maybe it just gets bored lol!
Then mine was very bored.
Always restarted itself during the night - and lost half the battery charge while doing so.
Had it repaired twice and now it works great. They told me it was a software problem, but I wonder what they fixed, because I have flashed the same SPL, radio and rom on my phone as before.
Glad you fixed it. Mine was ordered on the cheap from HK (to Ireland) so I'm reluctant to send it back except in dire need.
I often see it get very hot around the crash time, as if some app is running crazy, would explain the low battery.
BTW, what rom, spl, radio do you use?
I had the same exact problem up till a week ago.
Now I'm happily a satisfied Diamond user. To solve this issue, do either of the following:
1. Find a rom with a newer Manila version, e.g. Dutty > v2.6.
2. Install the latest Manila cab.
Changing hard spl doesnt work, as I had tried them all. Stock rom was more acceptable but the problem still occurs once in a while.
I had changed to Dutty's rom more than a week ago I haven't had the problem ever since. Try it and share with us if it works.
Reason I say its due to Manila is becos Dutty is using a newer version of Manila as compared to the rest.
Oooh, tasty. A confirmed software method of fixing the problem! I'll give that a go and observe the phone for a week. I'll post then if all is well.
Many thanks,
Mike
I'm running Olinex HardSPL 1.93, Radio BS14 and O2 Germany stock rom 1.93.207.2.
I hope knave's solution will do the trick for you.
Hi...
This just append to my phone sometime tonight..!
A left it charging over night ... like I always do..
and when I wake up... there's just a gray screen of death!
I've just flashed my first cooked rom... had stock HTC ROM before...
and my TF3D version is 1.2.35091.2_1813.6..
maybe this was just a freak accident... one time happening??
lets wait and see...
i'm backing up my phone at the moment to hard reset it later. i've got the problem, that in opera when the page (spiegel.de especially) is fully loaded and it idles for 5 secs, the screen turns grey with stripes and blocks slowly. after hitting power on/off 2 times it's normal again, but as soon as it's idling for 5 secs it fades to grey again.
must have messed up something while updating opera
So I have my new diamond for a couple days now and updated to the last 2.03 Win Mob 6.1 rom from HTC. The phone is all stock and the only thing I installed was background in all tabs of manilla TF. Now I notice that between some hours my diamond lights up for a second and turns off again. I don't know what might be causing this. This is my second diamond as the first one was always freezing and the warranty gave me a new phone!
mine does this in some areas of my home where i don't get good reception and the phone is switching modes. this happens so much that it may drain my battery overnight if i don't put it into airplane mode. not saying that's what's happening with you but it's a possibility.
This is very strange, because I only noticed this while the phone was without the SIM card!

Found your problem.
You should look into a cooked ROM. They're so much better...my diamond wouldn't even be close to what it is today with a stock ROM.
