Hey guys, I recently reset my phone to "factory settings" using the up/power/main button combo, but ever since then my signal strength has been really weak. I believed this is what caused it but i'm not too sure.
I've tried re flashing/reformatting, whatever, but nothing seems to help. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
I'm using a bell phone in an area which is usually strong, but only getting 1/2 bars right now

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?

So, I turned off my phone last night, and turned it back on this morning to no service. I did a soft reset to see if my phone was just being difficult, and it still could not find service. I put it on my pocket and walked around with it, and picked up a signal after 10 or so minutes. This is particularly odd, because my phone was in a spot (when I had just turned it on) where it would usually have very good reception. Now, whenever I soft reset it, it takes a really long time (and a lot of battery) to find a signal! I figure it COULD be AT&T's network being really shady today, but I haven't heard any other reports and my friend's phones are all acting fine.
What could be the problem here? I'm using the stock HTC rom, with radio 1.27.12.11 on AT&T in the US.
Me too
I have the same radio version as you, however, I am on stock Kaiser using T-Mobile. I've had this problem many times. Not every reset but most result in several minutes of no service. I've even gone into settings and forced "Find Network" but that doesn't seem to speed things up.
Anyone have a solution?
I've also noticed that texts take reallllllly long to send. This one's been sitting in my outbox for at least 15 minutes now, with 4 bars of service.
Ahhhhhh.
I'm going to flash a new radio, 1.27.14.09 once my phone's battery is charged past 50%. Hopefully this will resolve my problems!
Hi, I've owned my tytn II for a few months and in the last couple of weeks, the phone has been acting really odd. I have tried to make a call and it gives me the dreaded "beep beep beep" and ends the call every time i try. I've noticed this though; If i turn the phone off and back on, then as soon as it gets signal (like 3 minutes after load up??), i can make a call ... Then i cant make another after that ... Then if i send a text, as soon as i receive the "sms sent" notification, I can call again, if i try immediately.
It seemed like a software issue, so selected "clear storage" from the settings menu and still get the same problem. I've tried changing from my virgin sim to my vodafone sim and get the same problem. To make maters far worse, as well as not being able to dial out, nobody can dial in; it goes straight to voicemail. I am showing average to good reception when this happens.
One thing i have noticed since the problem started is that the "G" symbol at the top of the phone is now showing "3G", but i haven't changed area and don't recall it saying 3G before. I haven't changed any settings and haven't got any new software ... Its at factory standard, 100%.
Does anyone know what I should do as I'm getting ready to brick the phone just for the sake of it. I've had the Wizard for over 2 years and I never had 2 restore it once ... this phone is REALLY bugging me. I'm honestly thinking of keeping the wizard and selling this one on ebay for say £180 or something, just to get rid of it.
Also, I've noticed the battery is draining faster recently. The phone is about 5 months old.

Did u try to turn of the 3g reception?
If no, try to turn it of in settings/personal/phone/band and in network type select GSM(or in comm manager turn the 3G off).
Mikulec, you are a god ... I guess i'm just getting angry at the phone because I haven't even started playing with it yet and its just so much more tempermental than my old wizard. It was to the point that I am still using the wizard as my main phone and the newer tytn II just sits at home all day! As it appears so far though, it definitely has worked, so thank you.

happy to help u bro, the kaiser is a good toy, u just need to play with it.
This along with the faster battery drain is the first sign of a radio hardware failure. If in a few weeks you start losing network even with 3G off, or can feel your phone gets warm even on standby then you'll already know what to do... send it for repair.
When I send it in for repair, do I need to install the normal rom/etc? Before I installed the rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416278), I had no issues whatsoever. Will they actually replace what they need to even if it is working under the stock rom?
Actually, I just checked with 3G off, and I'm still getting the same 3 beeps. Anyone know what's up?

My friend that has kaiser also and usually flash his phone once or twice a week and had it repaired alot and they have never said anything about his ROM
but then we live in Sweden and maybe we have other rules then you have
It's better to restore original ROM and SPL (there's a guide in the Wiki for that) before sending it back. Once you've done that you can check if it works again - obviously if it does with the original ROM then don't send it back.
I live in an area with a low signal, and my captivate often loses connection with the cell towers. Recently it has developed an annoying habit of not reconnecting when I move to a strong signal area.
I can drive into the center of town where there are 5 strong signal bars and the doggon phone just sits there with a slashed circle instead of any signal bars.
A re-boot seems to be the only way to fix this phenomenon
I'm running stock froyo, no root, etc.
Any ideas ??
You may need to take this to a store my friends did this and it was a problem with the phone so they gave him a new one but I would wait to see if there is a different way
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I have an update on this. I took my Cappy to the AT&T store and explained the situation to the rep. I told him about the problem reaquiring the signal, and that the GPS didn't work worth a darn.
The rep asked me a few questions about how long since I did a hard reboot etc, and then acknowledged that it appeared that I knew what I was talking about. He told me he would give me a warranty replacement, but explained that he had to call Samsung first.
He called Samsung and told them that he did a hard reboot (just on my word) and answered some more questions, but Samsung balked. They asked him to do a hard reboot again, which he did. Then they asked him to take out the battery and read some numbers to them, then asked him to hard reboot yet again. During the second reboot they asked him to enter some menu ( which I couldn't see over the counter) and he was prompted for a number. They read a number over the phone to him which he typed in, and the phone continued with the boot process. When he hung up from Samsung I asked him about the secret menu and number he entered and he told me he had never done that before and didnt know anything about it.
Something has drastically changed in my phone. The GPS locks in about 5 seconds, even when I'm inside near a window, I haven't had any problems requiring a lost signal, and my battery life is greatly improved, I easily make it through the day with heavy use now which I could never do before.
I don't know what to make of the whole thing...
It sounds like they probably did what everyone refers to as the modem dance.

Hey guys,
I seem to have an issue which i have encountered in other devices forums such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628733

A description of the problem goes like this: the mobile network keeps switching between 3G/H/LTE until it finally sort of hangs on one of them with only the upload arrow blinking about once per second. During this "hang", i cannot make or receive calls despite having full signal indication. After a few minutes, the reception indicator goes down to empty, mobile data indicator disappears and after few secs of no reception returns to normal only for the issue to reoccur randomly. I'm getting this from once per day to dozens of times per hour and it's killing my nerves.
I have to mention that rooting or s-off is really off the table right now as, if the problem persists after unlocking i am stuck with a void warranty unstable phone.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Any advice?

Sorry for the ultra-necro. Did you ever get this sorted? I'm getting this now and I'm at a dead end with no way forward..
