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.
hey there,
yesterday i switched my sms notification sound to a costum one (a song from one of my albums). today at work a got mail and, oh my god, the phone didn't stop to vibrate and play the song. i had to softreset the diamond as quick as possible to keep peoples attention on me as small as possible...
it didn't stop even after reading the sms, entering or leaving the mailbox and so on...
question: how the heck do i get the diamond stop vibrating and stuff after receiving new sms?
help will be welcome
I have this same issue
It's happened to me twice. The first time, it would not stop vibrating until I removed the battery from the phone! The second time, a power-off took care of the issue.
Regards,
M.O.

As I always say fellasss:
When things go sour just Hard Reset and try again.
If problems persist try with different ROMS.
Greetings.
hey, I ran into a problem with my phone. It starts up but I can only see what's in the homescreen if I go into mail or messages it says please wait, and the star doesn't work anymore; and the phone isn't receving any texts or calls. I've tried restarting it plenty of times and been watching the please wait thing on my phone for an hour now... Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks
hi guys..
i've now had my touch diamond in 6months, and i must say that i havent had anything else than tons of problems with it :/..
It very often just freezes, when i want to open a text message in my inbox, and 60% of the day it search for signal... its like
100% signal for 1 hour.
then loses it for 10 seconds, and then regaining.
100% signal for 10min.
then losses it for 10 seconds.
100% signal for 10min
then loses it for 10 seconds.
If i then turn off my diamond and turns it on again. start from part 1)...
Also as i stated in my title.
it some time ago, started to ALWAYS have 1 new text message in my inbox.
even if i do a soft reset, turns off my cellphone, or delete ALL messages.
It still says 1 new text message.
Have any of you guys had anything like this?
I can tell i have the following:
Radio: 1.00.25.05
and standard touch diamond setup
Kind Regards,
ThiaZ

Hello all,
i spent quite some time researching my issue and found out that there is a bunch o people with this problem. The downside is, none of the recomended fixes seem to work.
Description: I recently got a S4 active i9295 with stock rom. Everything clean, nothing custom on it(i belive). For a couple of hours it worked like a charm, then, when i want to call someone, the transition from contacts to dialing screen lags a bit and then it goes into dialing and thats about it. Nothing else happens from there on. I loose signal and it keeps showing that it dials (i let it like this for about 15 minutes and nothing happend). I cannot end the call, it remains stuck in "dialing" mode, i can use all the other functions though. After a restart it works again. Same goes for sending SMS. The icon spins and spins but never sends the SMS, only after a reboot. Also when someone calls me, they get a "no answer" signal and my phone just looks ok, like normal standby but when i want to call back, it freezes at dialing.
I tried 3-4 different stock 4.4.2 roms, hard reset, wipe/clear cache, safe mode... It works fine for 15-20 calls/2-3 hours and then it does it again. After that point it only gets worse and it happens more frequently.
Any ideas on what could cause this or how to permanently fix it? Unfortunately, returning the phone is not really an option.
Thanks to all, best regards.
No one?
