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.
Cheers,
Chris
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?
Ask me any questions you might have about ATT pure and i will be more than glad to answer it for you here
Im looking to buy a pure in a week and unlock it for tmobile. Would i be better off unlocking it and having to work around the ATT ROM (I did this with my pantech duo and its not fun.) or install the stock Topaz ROM from htc. and if I do the latter (the best option all acounts) will I have to install any extra drivers the pure?
I am a newbee. I am just coming over from my Touch HD T8285 and need to know how to HSPL. I have read the thread but it keeps giving me a connection error. I am pretty familiar with flashing on my polaris, hd, tilt, but I am having a hard time with the pure. Any help would be great.
Came over from a moto q, how do I change the colors of the touch flo icons and bar, I already found where to change the start bar and the lower bar but touch flo is still att blue. Do I have to make a custom rom or edit some registry settings or what?

IIRC you will only get edge on this if you jump to tmobile. If you use the ATT rom, you will probably have media net setup automatically and it might be a pita to try to setup.
Maybe I read the specs wrong on the frequencies though

You'll have to install a new theme that overwrites TF3D.
I just got my phone upgrade to HTC pure from ATT. I have bought the unlock from http://www.htc-unlocks.com/ ( Olipro ) .Everything went well for unlocking but when I restart the phone it went to dead. After HARD reboot shows as:
Security unlocked
TOPA210 32M
SPL-1.33.01 iMex
MicroP-Topaz (LED) v11
TPMFG DATA
512,555 190,897
191,208 833,208
833,899 calibrated
Can Someone here help ?
Thanks!
ATT Pure
How do you "reset" the Pure.
My old Tilt had a hole for the stylis to reboot it.
The reset hole is in the stylus housing, a small red dot.

no your right about the frequencys. tmobiles 3g is 1700 mhz att is 1900 I think. I dont use mobile internet any way so 3g is not so necessary for me.
You are basically screwed if you thought you would get "3G" on tmob (then again, they don't have good "3g" coverage, so maybe you wouldn't notice).
Return the phone or admit your mistake.
Yea really, I don't see why ppl are buying this phone specifically desiged for the AT&T 3g Spectrum to use on TMO. But, then again TMO does have a unique choice of bands who no one likes to manufacture unless you get it from them. Atleast, Nokia makes AT&T band devices once in a blue moon.
Questions
I am not a newbie, but have some questions re my new Pure:
1 - Is there a program that can map and control all or more of the buttons using push and hold - like hbuttons?
2 - What about making the zoom area usable for special functions?
3 - is there a working TCPMP that can play all .flv files including the on2v6 codec?
I've only had mine for ~24 hours at this point. I had a Tilt before this, but I have a couple questions about the Pure:
1. The TouchFlo screens let you set the wallpaper for the home screen, but the other screens all have the Death Star logo. Is there a way to change that without flashing the ROM? I don't want to flash yet because:
a. it's too soon
b. the HSPL program didn't work.
2. Next to the USB port, there are two holes; one very tiny one above it about the size of a stylus point, and another to the right that is much larger. I'm hoping that the top hole is the microphone, and the one on the right is for a phone strap. Can anyone confirm that? I'd hope not to damage the microphone with my repeated attempts to hang a keitai strap from it.
3. Is there a way to remove the battery icon from the status bar on top? I plan to use a different one that I like better, so having the other one there is redundant.
In return for getting my questions answered, I will check back here and answer others' questions based on my experiences.

It's true. None of the 4 national CellCos (is that a word?) are compatible with one another. The ones that share frequencies don't share technologies. To exacerbate the problem further, Europe uses 2100MHz, which is different from North America. So, if you want 3G to work right, alas, you have to get a phone from your carrier.

Too many questions and so little answers? Where's our wiseman?
I just bought mine but I'm going to wait to see the answers, like that won't be posting the same questions

I just got the Pure from ATT store and happy me
I am a complete noob with windows phone, so bear with me
1. I connected my phone to the Wi-Fi at my house, and launched Opera. However 90% of the time the browser just simply could not load a webpage. Anything else that require data would not work either (this includes the weather tab). Every once in a while it would load up some data and then it would stop working again. Did I get a defective phone?
2. Like everyone else has asked, is there a way to change the blueish TF3D theme with ATT logo to something else?
3. On the Internet tab on TF3D, when I click Launch web browser it automatically directs me to att.net. Is there a way to change it to some other websites?
^
1. opera i have found is horrible on this phone. its has know problem working on the medianet setting on the phone when using wifi. go to the connection settings and change it to ATT isp and it will work. I use IE for browsing and Skyfire for flash
2. not on the stock rom

Works perfect! Thanks!
Any light on the default att.net homepage issue?
I know they use the same frequencies as Telus so all my data should work and I will get all the bug fixes from the Thai firmware, but before I do it I just wanted to know if I am going to have any localization problems like:
default language from using the firmware.
Any hard coded info like servers (I read a tutorial once about using a unlocked MIlestone on Bell and having to root it to get assisted gps working by changing the server info 3 times in different files) so that is a example of info I would like to know before hand. Or does that info along with APNs get saved in a area the service does not touch.
I assume my apps will be fine since I am using a service version.
I have the 2.36 Thai version running on mine, while still running on Telus. I haven't modded the location file yet, and the GPS works just fine Language is still in English.
Good to know about the language. I know GPS would still work since the servers I was talking about are just for the assisted part I think speeding it up when finding you.
Did you have to manually set any APN settings after flashing the Thai version.
Has this happened to anyone?
I did the upgrade then shortly after I got a notification that I lost data connectivity due to data roaming. Which I wasn't. I had to reboot to get data working again.
It kept happening until I gave up and decided I would rather have random music playing then having to reboot or go in and out of airplane mode everytime I wanted to go online.
It would be interesting to know why this is happening though. I am in a big city and it was happening at work and home.
Does the Thai firmware have some sort of advantage to other firmwares?
@ shadowofdarkness: You could have just turned on the data roaming. Though the phone may think it's roaming, your carrier won't.
@ bemymonkey: I find it quicker just in general, but that may just be me. I found when I was using the Telus release it felt very bogged down and laggy. I ran some tests with a buddy of mine (he running stock Telus, me running stock Thai) and it showed that mine was running about 1/5th faster on most tasks.
At the time the Thai version had bug fixes I wanted but since then GOT released a new Telus version with the same fixes.
Interesting... if I get bored I might try it
Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.
Might be something like I have? But I got no reply here...

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?
Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.
I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm
Hi Peeps,
Can some explain to me why al the non sense custom roms won't have a internet connection with this device and vodafone NL?
I would really like to find a fix for this problem. I quote the maker of the cyanogenmod rom.
"I think part of the problem is the RIL we are using."
Could someone help me get this fixed?
thanx!

Good, then I am not the only one
I really want to use MIUI but the because it wont give me a data connection (3g,H,etc.) stops me from using it further
I checked the "Monitor" app pre-installed with MIUI, and changed some settings with the firewall and the statusbar displayed a 3G icon, but it still didnt work.
Curiously, does it work for other people running MIUI/CM7 on different phones who are on Vodafone NL? I'm trying to understand if it's the radio or something that stock Android doesn't have that Sense/other providers do have. I am pretty sure it would work even if you install ARHD and run the no sense script.
I don't think it's the sense. It's either the radio, ROM kernel (?) or some other config in stock that MIUI/CM7 are picking up that Sense might have overwritten.
It's interesting, really
Works fine for me on Vodafone India but yeah, that doesn't help you
Only one thing to add, Vodafone NL comes in 2 variations: Vodafone NL and Vodafone NL Business which uses a different APN. For me Vodafone NL has not worked on CM7 but Vodafone NL Business does work (due to the SIM having corporate contract I guess)
Hi john,
Thanx for looking into it, i have tried different radio's and roms. Its not the card itself because it works flaweless in the htc legend with cm7.
It must be something that connects the radio with the software.. the developer of cyanogenmod for the incredible S was talking about the RIL (Radio Interface Layer)
cince it's not only a CM 7 problem i guess it has to do with something all the rommakers are using.
serious *yawn* as i mentioned like dozens of time yes it is the ril and yes there is a version from cm for the vodafone nl users, ask attn1 (and no they dont know what it is or how it should be fixxed atm)
end of discussion
lol relax dude, i don't own a incredible S that long and couldn't find anything about it on XDA... After that i asked another dutch users but he didn't know why it was not working..
I created this topic so new users like me can find a answer why a custom rom is not working on their phone at this moment. Hopefully they will crack it.
it's okey problem is most people dont do the research and just start asking, but no biggy...
just do what ive told you before, im sure attn1 is willing to help when he has the time
This problem with the RIL is this just vodafone blocking some RIL or is er a functional problem with this RIL and the vodafone carrier?
I don't know what to do, i would realy like to use a miu of cm rom without the sense.
Can anyone give me a hand? or a push in the right direction?
its the ril that has an issue with vodafone duhh...
its like i said before there is an version from cm that works with it...
so yes other roms are possible also, how? erhm... read back...
sorry for asking but i can't find that build of CM7 not on their website nor on XDA Developers. I just want to know what to do myself to rebuild a rom and make the appropiate changes to the RIL so it wil work.
contact attn1 mate
i have did that multiple times but i get no responsse of attn1
i'll upload some this weekend (not 100% sure which one was it but im sure you can test that out ), i currently switched to kpn cause of some connection problems i was having where im stationed...
finally got time to work on this issue

Everytime i'm moving in The Hague, i lose my GSM and 3g signal.
Is that a known problem?? I am using Android Revolution HD 1.1.7
To get my signal back i have to go to airplane mode and then log in again with my pin.....
I have this issue on many custom roms on telus too.
how can you flash a new ril?
I'm dealing with the same error. the newest cm7 works fine. The revolution roms as well. (BTW I haven't noticed any issues in the Hague. as soon as 3g dropped all my colleague's 3g dropped as well on their Iphones.)
Unfortunately mobile network isn't working on most of the fancy 3.5 sense roms.
I posted about the vodafone issue in one of the sense 3.5 threads and got this reply as solution. Could anyone confirm whether these steps solved the problem?

Found this might help you
This is actually simple to fix. My girlfriends phone was doing this a bit ago. After a bit of tinkering I found this to work. 1. Shut down your phone 2. Carefully remove the battery cover and battery from the phone. 3. Using a toothpick or something similar, depress the clip holding the Verizon/vodafone sim card in place and remove the card. 4. Replace your battery and turn the phone back on. 5. Wait about a minute, the phone may display a message saying somehting along the lines of "no sim card found, switching to CDMA" or something similar. 6. Turn the phone back off, remove the battery and replace the sim card 7. Completely re-assemble the phone and turn it back on. 8. Your phone should now show that you have Verizon as your carrier and all your phones functions should be restored.
Hope this works as well for you guys as it did for me.
I assume this is some sort of error with the phone recognizing which network is its default carrier. I also assume that verizon has some ort of deal with vodafone, a carrier in the Netherlands, that allows some of there phones to access vodafones gsm network if the verizon customer happens to be travelling. That would explain why they have a vodafone sim card in some of these phones. from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
