Not able to make phonecalls and batt. emty fast!

Hi All,
Something weird happened yesterday, my tytn II stopped working normaly.
I cannot make calls anymore and people calling me get my voicemail, although it shows full reception (t-mobile). The only call works, is calling my voicemail. I didnt change anything in the phone prior to this problem.
Also the battery is dropping down very fast. Like 50% in 5 hours without using anything...
I putted my sim in another phone, it works fine, so the problem lies within the phone. I hardresetted the phone but the problem remains...
Anybody had the same problems and/or knows how to fix this???
I have an original HTC tytn II on tmobile network.
THanks!!

Any help is welcome, also for the other users with the same problem!
Thanks!

same problem
Hi,
I also have the same problem you write about. It also happened for no apparant reason. I notice that I can make calls to other mobiles that are close to my phone in proximity... odd?!
I've sent an email to HTC ... waiting on a response.

I have started getting the same sort of problem. When I try and make calls - it just won't connect. Sometimes a soft reset works - but not always. People cannot call me and I get messages about missed calls and voicemail messages.
It's starting to make my Orange TyTnII virtually unusable.
Suggestions?

Silent for about 20 second on phone calls

After using the Tilt for a week, I experienced this problem couple times and I wonder if others are having the same problem. This typically happen after I used my phone for a while. I would make a phone call or receive a call, the call would be silent or both ends (caller and callee) for about 20 seconds and then we could hear each other. Once the phone had this problem, every subsequence calls will have the same problem until I soft-reset the phone. I wonder if it is a hardware problem and if I should get an exchange before the 30 days is up.

never had this problem in any of my windows phones... any 3rd party applications installed?
what operating system is it running? (AT&T? t-mobile? Orange? etc)

verify that you don't have any recording software, like resco audio recorder

Hard reset the phone. Worked for me.

I also had the exact same problem with my Tilt flashed to HTC stock Rom. It only happened once before I flashed to austinsync's BigStorage Rom and has not happened since. But I am starting to get a little nervous about all of these "little issues" that people are having with this phone.
You know.... like the phone not working!! Or... emails not coming through after the phone goes to sleep!!
I am really hoping we see a new Rom show up on these boards like... by the weekend.

I am using the original AT&T rom and do not have any 3rd party recording software. I do have MS Voice Command 1.6 but I don't think that's the problem.

No voice command, standard t-mobile Vario III.
I'm also noticing a distinct lag between the call being picked up and the time the caller and I can hear each other.
Often the call is connected to a volley of hello ? 's
The delay is much worse if I'm using a BT ear/head set. And the ear piece volume is atrociously quiet.
Not nearly as good as the Vario II

I am having the kaiser for three weeks now and I also had this problem until I did a hard reset today (soft reset did not solve the problem). I also had resco audi recorder running with storing the files on the sd card. As I also red that others have a problem with the delay ring when recieving a phone call when the ring tone is stored on the sd card, this might also have the problem (I only realized it after the hard reset when I was wondering what all those recordings meant to be).

It appears my problem has something to do with using Voice Command over BT. The problem went away after I stopped doing that.

[Q] Why do my SMS messages get stuck?

Whenever I send an SMS it is as if I can only send 1 per day. Let me explain, I can send an SMS fine but when I get a reply back then my response to it just sits in the outbox.
I exit the SMS program and then I cannot open it again (the option does not respond, as if it has hung, system works otherwise though) so I have to power off the phone, remove battery, remove SIM and then power it on with no SIM. I can then access the SMS program.
If I then delete the SMS from the Outbox and Deleted Items and Sent Items then sometimes (and only sometimes) the notification that the SMS has been sent will magically pop up. If that does not work then I power on the phone with a SIM and sometimes opening and closing the SMS program magically sends it, sometimes sending an SMS to myself fixes it and other times it just does not work at all and is very infuriating.
I am using the stock ROM and WM 6.1 with no additional programs installed.
What can I do to fix this and be able to send SMS messages normally? I even took my SIM out and put it in my old SE phone and I can SMS without any problems, only on the X1
Thanks.

That sounds strange indeed. Has it always been this way or did this error appear lately? If it appeared just lately I would try a hard reset. But if the problem has always been there I would try another sim card (demand a replacement from your service provider). How old ist your sim card? Old sim cards can cause several strange problems when used in current phones. It's easily possible that the card works with your old phone but causes troubles in combination with your X1.

The funny thing is that I took it to the Sony shop (I live in Thailand) and they tried a different SIM from a different network and it worked without any problems. They then put my SIM back in and it worked also.
My question is why does my SIM card not work well with the X1? I have always had this SMS problem since I got the phone (used).
Thanks for replying.

Something like that was happened to me too when I'm still using the stock ROM. Some people said that it is the problem with threaded view in WM6.1. But it ould be because of too many messages in my inbox or outbox. Since I'd like archive my messages, I backed up the message to new ROM and this problem never ever happpened again.

I recommend the following steps to narrow down the reason for this problem.
1. Perform a hard reset (or even reflash the stock rom)
2. Try using the phone on factory defaults (do not restore anything from a backup) for several days
3. If you still experience the problems try deactivating the threaded view for sms
4. Still not solved > order a new sim card
5. Received a new sim to no avail > might be a hardware defect
A few words concerning sim cards. Believe me, they can cause strange problems. There are people that used to have bad signal reception. After they ordered a new sim the problems were gone. Or cases where people could not get a working data connection > new sim solved it.
By the way, you told it in your post too:
"The funny thing is that I took it to the Sony shop (I live in Thailand) and they tried a different SIM from a different network and it worked without any problems. They then put my SIM back in and it worked also."
It seems that your sim card blocks the sms sending process from time to time. So to keep this post short, no matter to what result the above mentioned steps lead I would go for a new sim anyway.

I do indeed use threaded conversations. Stupid question, but how do I turn threaded conversation mode off? This is the first thing I want to try.
Thanks.

I have never tried this before. To look for how to do all of them. Googlefirst.
use registry editor, add
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
binaryvalue set to 1.

Hmmmm, I was hoping it would be easier than that.
Thanks anyway.

To disable threaded view use SK Tools, Advanced Config or Xperia Tweak. The later two are freeware and downloadable here at XDA.

Dropping calls and not sending sms

I got my Optimus 2x Today, the one from Netherlands. And I have a big problem. I can't make calls. When I dial the number, it is calling and after 10-15 seconds it disconnets. Happens everytime, anywhere i call. I tried Hard Reset 2 times, but it haven't fixed that problem.
And also I can't send massages, they are just not send, and there appears that ! warning yellow triangle.
I switched my SIM card back to my old phone (I8910 Omnia HD) and everything works on it like a charm...
I don't know what to do now

You would need to add your providers account information to your phone. I'm far away from being a specialist in these things, so please wait for some one else to help you. But it's not a big deal to get your phone running properly.
Slap me if I'm wrong.

Kind off experiencing the same, although it is not constantly, but intermittent for me. however when phone calls start to fail they keep on failing, untill i pull the battery after which it works for awhile.
I am now having this with wifi aswell ....
Was i too ambitious removing those apps, following that other thread ? ill install a different launcher and see if that changes anything ....

I have been to the Orange shop yesterday in my city, they checked my sim and said that this is a fault of sim card. They gave me a new card and now everything works like a charm.

I've had the same problems and also some noise when coming near monitors (didnt had this with any previous phones) so I decided the cancel my contract renewal with this phone. Returned it to T-mobile and i'll just wait a few more months to see what will come! I just didn't want to take a risk to use the VIP service within the 7 days you can decide to agree on the contract or not. And also, having to use the VIP service while your phone is just 2 days old gives me a bad feeling about this phone (also reading other stories about bugs and stuff).

I have exactly the same problem with calls as you. An issue this huge is intolerable in a 500€ phone or, well, any phone. I think I'll have to ask for a new device or a refund. I'm really dissapointed, I really liked the phone otherwise.

Try another sim card in the O2X. If the phone still does it then it is faulty.

Already did, it happened with two different sim cards. The phone is clearly faulty.

I am having the same problem. Any solution for this except changing to 2g? Data is disconnected when I checked in the settings. It is constantly trying to reconnect.
When this happens, I can't receive/send sms or make calls. The only way is to restart the device.
This only happens at some locations (i.e. my workplace) but doesn't encounter this problem at home.
Is this a problem with the kernel, radio, or hardware?
I am on MCR r10 by the way.
Radio/baseband: 1035.21_20110315
Kernel: Tried all available kernels and still getting the same problem.

Captivate silence during calls?

I am currently abroad in London. I have unlocked my Captivate to work on a local network, Orange, with a pay as you go plan. Recently when 2.2 was released I used Kies Mini to upgrade, it went fine. However, now I can't use the phone for calls!
When I make or receive a call, its as if the phone is muted. I can't hear a thing, not static, ringing, or the other person when then answer (yes the calls go through), and they can't hear me either. It's very strange. However, I have tested both the mic and internal and external speakers with other apps and they work fine.
I have tried downgrading and re-upgrading and even doing a reset with Odin but it does not help. Strangely enough, when I first upgraded calling worked off and on (1 working call for every 3 silent calls) for about a week, then stopped alltogether.
Any suggestions? I really need this fixed fast. Could this be a SIM card issue?

Hi, I had the same issue, and it was with an Orange prepaid sim card. I unlocked my phone prior to the trip, and I had the same thing with every other call had no audio whatsoever but the SMS still worked. I wonder if somebody had a custom rom that worked fine with Orange

Yeah exactly SMS works just fine. Well that sucks, what a strange issue! I wonder if there's some sort of fix for this?

Surely somebody else is using an unlocked Captivate with those pesky Orange pay as you go....

I can't say it'd be a fix or anything, but on some roms, I sometimes have to enable speakerphone, and then disable it. I doubt it'd be a fix for your issue, but it's worth a try

OP did you try that? That would be too easy if it was it. I flashed my phone to a new ROM but I cannot try it until my brother sends me the international Orange sim
