Hi
After much playing around I have my phone upgraded to 2.2
I had to restart to get it work but all appears ok.
The only problem I have is I seem to have lost my connection with the 3 network, Wi Fi is ok.
I will have to put my programs etc back on but before I do that would like my 3 internet working again, has anybody any ideas of what process I need to follow.
Thanks
Martin

Hey all,
I've had my TyTn II for a while now and everything's been ok.
I recently upgraded my rom, from an old Duttys rom to a new one, since doing that my phone would not pick up signal at all - I couldn't phone and people couldn't phone me - it looked like my phone had reception but the second I went to call all the bars dropped off.
I posted on here. - It's the radio people assured me. I swapped radios. 1 million times.
Everytime, the 3g would work for a few hours and then the same problem.
I decided it was the rom. I installed a different duttys rom yesterday, and low and behold, the phone worked. Calls, tinterwebs the works.
Got home. Same old problem.
The one thing that links the roms is they're both Windows 6.1.
I'm using a MDA Vario 3 on T-Mobile UK.
Can anyone help me?

If you want to stick with WM6.1 do as follows:
(i hope you've got HARDSPL...)
Run the TriColor mode and install radio same as i do (signature)
when it start to restarts hold the camera button so you can boot tricolor again without loading rom.
Install your favorite ROM,
When everything is configured, run Connection setup again and restart your phone. Test it.
If it still doesent give anything it could problem with some third party apps or your device itself.
You can try my configuration it works perfectly for me.
Cheers,
Chris
Giving that a go today - will chuck you over some $$$ wonga if it works! Thanks.
I hope that everything will work fine for you. Im always happy to help.

Tried - No joy - but thanks - anyone else got any ideas?
I have a similar issue. On my 3rd phone now (Orange) due to phone not connecting in 3g mode to make calls. Seems to be an issue where it fails to switch automatically between GSM and 3G, although it often shows there is a network connection (even though there isn't - really anoying).
However, by turning off hsdpa it finally seems (6 hours or so) to stay connected to the network and able to make calls. Can anyone else with the same problem try this?
I don't enough about hsdpa to understand why having it switched on should make a difference, unless it changes the functionality of the radio. Suggestions welcomed.
You may have a faulty handset.
Exactly the same problem as my friend experienced with his MDA Compact 2. I tried flashing new ROMS and it seemed to fix it but in time he'd begin to suffer from a disappearing signal bar and random dropouts before, during and after calls.
You could try turning your network to GSM only and see if that makes a difference. I'm on T-Mobile and I know that last week I couldn't use my phone in 3G mode for 36 hours or more owing to a network problem in my area, gsm worked fine though.
not convinced about the faulty handset although it is a possibility.
I am starting to think that with the hsdpa enabled it somehow changes the way data and voice calls are handled.
Really could do with some opinions on hsdpa and whether enabling it or disabling it changes the functionality of the phone or the interaction with the networks

Just search a bit in the Kaiser forum, quite a few people (including me) have had similar problems. Radio hardware on some units is faulty and requires return to service center for repair.
The radio starts by not being able to send/receive calls/data on 3G while it still works on GSM, then later GSM will eventually fail too.
T-mobile have had problems with there 3G in the last week in northern Uk. I am still getting a few problems each day as you describe. I dont know, but I am assuming they are doing some repairs

Still, my experience is that there maybe faulty hardware out there, but by disabling hsdpa everything is fine. I'm currently making plenty of calls on 3g network, dowloading lots of data on 3g network. My previous problems were when the handset showed it was connected to the 3g network when it wasn't able to take or make calls or download data. Before, the only thing I had tried was manually selecting GSM in the connection settings.
I'm not saying that disabling hsdpa is a good thing or a solution, just that it might help some smart person to identify what is going wrong.
Any help out there?
Hi everyone,
I was driving from Wash DC to Montreal about 3 weeks ago. Once I got to Syracuse NY my N1 just froze. I took off the battery and then it wouldn't boot. ( I was running frf50 + froyo radio since the first day it was leaked). I thought maybe a routine wipe would fix it. It didn't work. I was out of options and had to wait until I get to montreal to use a laptop and see whatsup. Once in Montreal I downloaded a Rordriguez Froyo and the phone booted up. Now the problem started. Wifi doesn't work. Whenever I turn it on it says unable to scan for networks and then another error pops up saying " Sorry! Activity wifi settings (in application settings) is not responding." I tried a million different roms and radios and the problem persists... Yesterday I flashed another froyo rom and wifi worked and actually connected to my home WLAN. Then suddenly it stopped working again... Can anybody help me? this is so frustrating, especially since I have only 2 bars of EDGE in my basement. I think it might be the Wifi driver that is causing all this. If somebody can link me with the Wifi driver I might be able to fix this problem...
Thanks!
PS: All radio related stuff work ( bluetooth, 3G...)
if you flashed a lot of roms....and it didnt work, chances are its a hardware issue, not a wifi driver issue as thats reinstalled with all roms
Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!
Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!
Hi all,
I've had SGS for over 8 months now on O2 Contract, UK. Currently running on Darkys Rom. Everything was great until yesterday morning the mobile internet has suddenly stopped working!
I've tried everything; Re-setting the correct APN manually, Switch on/off, Taking battery out. Called O2 & and tried to reset with their assistant but none of it worked. The network seems to be up and running fine on their side.
The symtoms are; I do have the 3G icon on the bar (Displaying 'H'), since I usually get a good strong signal in my area. The problem is, when I start the browser, the google.co.uk webpage works ok-ish. But for any other sites, doesn't work. Can't access email or facebook or anyother internet related apps. All connections fail.
I have other O2-Simcard. And when I try to use internet on my SGS, the same problem occurs. (Websites load less than half and everything stops) The sim cards work fine in my other phone.
Could this be a hardware problem?
I didn't drop or anything, I've been taking a real good care
Somebody please, please help!, Please.
You say Google works therefore internet works .Errors are possibly elsewhere in settings .
Worth doing a factory reset after backing up data to see if that clears the problem .
As its yet another Darky rom problem i suggest asking Darky if above fails .
Hardware probably not blame the rom or settings first .
You will have to remove the rom if you need to make a warranty claim .
jje
I agree with JJ, this sounds like a ROM/Settings problem. If you can get Google, then your hardware is fine. An Antenna failure is usually all or nothing.
Maybe check in Settings/Wireless and Network/Wireless Network Settings/Network Mode and make sure it is still in Auto mode, or switch to 3G only?
As a last resort, flash to a stock rom and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks, guys! JJEgan & rschenck.
Network mode has always been Auto mode & I tried all options but no luck..
The thing is, the 3g internet has always worked fine with Darky Rom. It's just that this happned all of sudden.
I guess I'll try factory reset first, if it doesn't work, I'll then flash to stock rom.. Glad to hear it probably won't be the antenna failure.
I'll keep posted after I try!
Hi guys, I'm still at work so haven't had a chance to do anything.
But magically! I've just put my other (PAYG) O2 simcard and the internet now works! However, still not as good as before. (Slightly laggy)
I was using Darkys 9.3 when the internet stopped working properly, so I upgraded to 9.5 hoping that it would fix the problem, but no help.
Since that it's working now. It seems internet connections is slower than when I had 9.3. Well, at least it works now. (Kind of)
Hi All,
Bought a HD7 off ebay, it was stuck on screen after HTC Logo. Its an o2 one. It booted fine after a full reset using both volume buttons+power. But that was after I opened it and took the memory card out etc... but it works now.
Problem is, I just spend another bit of cash to unlock it only to find the wifi is now not working, I never tried it before this, but I remember when it was stuck it showed a greyed out wifi logo (wifi available icon). Now no matter how close it is to my router, or many routers here it doesnt pick up anything.
Does it have anything to do with that sticker (grey one) over the memory card because that was getting in my way and I cut it, since I tried to stick it back to no avail.
Anyways its running :
HD7 T9292
Bootloader : 5.11.22
Radio : 5.71.09
OS : 7.10.8107.79 (UK o2)
I have hard reset it many times. 3g works but its also patchy sometimes it doesnt work.
I would like to know if there is a fix, or how I can install a fresh rom on it, like a custom one, or even the stock one to see if it works.
Many thanks in advance.
UPDATE :
I fixed the issue by taking out the 3g sim, then hard reset using both volume buttons + power, then let it set up fresh, then it picked up wifi networks. I re-inserted the sim and restarted again and now have both 3g + wifi. Very strange.
UPDATE 2 :
The wifi has gone again, I upgraded to tango, everything went smoothly but I dont have wifi anymore, and even after master resets its not coming back.
The cause could have been :
- Connecting it to the computer
- Updating the OS which made it restart a few times.
- Connecting it to the charger.
I do not know which one of the above it was. Still looking for any hints on how to resolve, since my main sim doesnt have 3g I am left without internet.
UPDATE 3 :
Downgraded the SPL using Y Cable, installed NextGen+ 3.3 and still no wifi... Then downgraded the radio to nodo, no wifi, but this morning turned the phone on and the "networks available" icon showed, but unable to pick any networks or connect. Infact now it has issues letting me into the wifi page.
