Subject: Difficulties turning GSM on
From: Rick
Date: 17 Jan, 2003 09:54:36
Hello guyz,
my unlocked XDA ROM 3.14 RADIO 4.14 has troubles firing up GSM
when I turn it on in the morning.
The X never goes away, I have to go into bootloader mode,
give several turn off, then a turn on, then reset, then maybe it
works. This does not happen every day, however... I noticed the
phone menu is very slow and won't open when I push the green
phone button when this problem is occcurring.
Anyone experienced this?
Thanks,
Rick

Yes I experience the same problem. Most of the time the battery
is low, or the signal drops very low. Sometimes it resets by
itself and then it hardly comes back on. I hope someone has a
solution for this problem...
i had the same problem
i had the device tested ..thier was no indecate of any malfanction
so i changed my sim card ,,,now every thing is working fine
What Radio version do you use? You could well be experiencing RSU 4.14 related problems.

Bingo! I have 4.14.
Should I go back to 4.08? Where can I find it?
Thanks

I think that this is very annoying...
When I ring an engaged number, the XDA just disconects on me. But does not display any message describing whats happened! So you just move a little more to the left in the aim of getting better signal to connect the call, it happens as though exactly you have no signal...
Has anybody else had a similar problem. What indication do you get when you ring an engaged number?

I have the same problem, I am sure O2 charge you for evey attempt
I have the same problem too, no solution yet!
I have this problem too! I am in Hong Kong. So we all from every where in the world, so it is not the problem from our GSM Services Providers, its from our Xda!
Asked a while back
I asked this question about a month ago, but no one replied to it... Can we have people test this on their xda and post the ROM + Radio versions for people who have this bug?
It seems we all have this problem on all ROM Versions i am starting to beleive its not a bug!
i hope it is and we can have a fix for it soon...
:?
I have the same problem too. But a friend of mine has an XDA which works noirmal. Buyt he has radio version 4.06 from Ireland. Could this bug be a problem in version 4.08?
Ditto i have the same problem, I thought it was low signal before now i know better!!!!!
i have the same problem to :evil: and its really annoying
yeah me too... wasnt sure what the script was before :roll:
i tried looking for the wav that it plays for the engaged tone (very kwik 3 descending beeps), however couldnt find it anywhere. Was thinking I could change the wav file.
I've got the same problem too, another thing that pees me off is the fact that this contraption doesnt have an auto redial facility either!
Regarding redial, couldn't you just press the green phone button to redial?
Or do you mean a feature which keep dialing and then notifies you when a connection has been made?

If u check my post you'll see that I was actually talking about an "AUTO" redial facility.
Cheers!
If you upgrade to WM 2003 (PPC2003) then they've taken care of this problem. It's still a pending issue in PPC2002.
I also miss the indication of whether the current call you are receiving is forwarded. For example: Nokia will display a little arrow next to the Caller ID number and state 'Forwarded Call', which isn't there in the XDA.
Where can I get the 2003 version from?

You really should search the forums, but I'm feeling helpful.
Follow the posts in this thread here:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1460
But please, for the sake of your XDA, remember:
Flashing your ROM is dangerous! Do not attempt it unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Has anyone got the Irish 4.06 RadioStack version? This version seems to indicate when a line is busy or not.
Hi chaps,
Being on this forum for a few weeks now and am really impressed with the help received.
I have an small issue with my XDA (back to business ). Its really the phone part that causing probs. On two occasions i have tried to dial a number, it tries to dial for about 3 secs then just makes a little chime and ends. I tried about 5 different numbers and its the same.
i checked for reception and it was on max bars - why was is not dialling?
I did a soft reset and after a few attempts it sorted itself out.
I am a little new to xda (how'd ya guess :? ) - is this something to do with the radio version of the phone, ie something i can update?
I am using SE 1.1 (have not taken the plunge to 1.2 .. but thanks jeff !)
Rom version = 3.17.03 ENG
Rom Date = 05/15/03
Radio version = 4.20.00
protocol version = 32S54
If i need to update the radio, could you kindly tell me the link.
Thanks for your time.
Ali
Hi Ali,
I think the problem you are describing is caused by a bug. What is really happening is the phone number you are dialling is busy but the XDA can't handle this and so just gives you a rather unimpressive beep. The fact that after you softboot a coupld of times it goes away only means that the number is no longer busy.
I believe this is fixed in Pocket PC 2003.
Cheers, Malachi
...aren't chaps something cowboys wear?
Hi Malachi
thanks for your reply.
you are right about the chaps but it also means
chap2 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (chp)
n. Informal
A man or boy; a fellow. :wink:
i understand what you are saying about the phone being engaged, the thing is, i did try a few different numbers... hrm ...
you say its fixed in ppc2003. I have seen that on edonkey... but dont i need the ppc2003 phone edition or something?
is it safe to just download ppc2003 from edonkey and install ?
can i ask, is ppc2003 what you are running?
what is a radio update for?
thanks for your help
Hi ALL
I been reading through all the post for the past week or so.. and contemplating upgrading to WM 2003 ROM 4.00.05 ENG on my 02 XDA .
I check out ROMkitchen and created my ROM but I deselected all additional software I Just wanted the bare bone WM 2003 ROM 4.00.05 ENG. I have not installed it yet. (BIG THANKS TO XDA-developers )
some users posted that they had good and bad experience with WM 2003 ROM 4.00.05 . The reason why i created this topic is to collate disadvantage and advantage using WM 2003 ROM 4.00.05 ENG (due to not final version if I'm correct).
I check here and the Enhancements are damn good which should of been support by PPC 2002 Phone Edition .
a) Can user posted disadvantage and advantage using WM 2003 ROM 4.00.05 ENG i.e. annoying bugs http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1945
b) What's your personnel percentage based on WM 2003 ROM 4.00.05 ENG? i.e. User ability
c) Will you port back to PPC 2002 ? i.e. WM 2003 ROM 4.00.05 Stability dose not meet my needs
Share your thoughts and experience please if possible
Well to be honest with you so far the device and the WM2003 are very stable together.
I am using QTEK 32MB with ROM 4.00.05 and i can assure you that the speed is even better and the performance is great.
Now that doesnt mean its bug free there are still some small problems here and there as any normal ROM.
My advice upgrade it... and then you will see that you will like it allot you wont downgrade.
By the way "Test Not for Sale" screen when reseting the device is great lol 8)
Frankly, my experience with my 02 hasn't been all that stellar. i do get some slowdowns, but i don't think i can go back to SER1.2's smsing... smsing in the new os is spectacular, well worth the other drawbacks.
my 2 cents
I've got 4.00.05 installed. After a soft reset, a white square box with a grey rectangle over it comes up on the screen- looks like some sort of dialog is trying to come up but isn't all there. There's also a (x) in the top corner. Clicking that brings back the today screen.
Has anyone else noticed this? It happened also when I was using the 4.00.01 ROM.

This is the SIM Toolkit. If you can still boot, simply remove the stk.lnk file from \Windows\Startup. Otherwise create a new ROM in the kitchen: I added the option to not include that link earlier today.
Sweet. Just took out the stk link.
So far this ROM seems pretty stable. I'm still having some issues with the SD card though.
It seems if I remove the card and add files with my card reader, then put it back in the phone, it's not seeing the changes.
4.00.05 vs 4.00.01
I have a fairly vanilla ROMKitchen 4.00.05.
The SIM toolkit is annoying (empty dialog) that pops up after a soft reset.
4.00.01 was very stable for me. If anything 4.00.05 appears a little less stable on GRPS. It keeps/makes the connection OK, but the network (TCP/IP side) seems to get confused until I power off the radio or reset sometimes.
I'm not going to bother going back to .01, but I won't bother updating any more devices to .05 if they already have .01.

Are you on T-mobile ? The whole GPRS network seems very unreliable since Saturday afternoon - I had problems in CO, then CA on Tuesday (though late morning was fine) and again today in CO. My machine ROM is unchanged in the last 10 days.

Confirmed: we see that too. Annoying. But fortunately the 'Answer' on the screen always works, otherwise 4.00.05 would be unusable.

EasyTweak does all sorts of PPC2002-related registry tweaks. You can't really expect it to be very useful on new OS versions. I've set it to 'PPC2002 only' in the kitchen.
Hi,
I tried the 4.00.01 and got many bugs ... (bad reception ...)
Yesterday I put the 4.00.05 and all seems going well. Good GSM reception and for the moment no problem.
Thx to Jeff and his kitchen
Newbie question.
I've successfully connected a Moto hs850 BT headset to my O2 XDA 2s. Problem is, I can make outgoing calls no problem but when others call my phone, neither the XDA 2s nor the headset rings... the caller goes straight through to my voicemail.
Phone works fine when the bluetooth is off.
I must be missing something. Consulted the manual and trawled this site but cannot find the answer.
Any help out there?
ROM 1.12.62 WWE
Radio 1.02.00
Protocol 1337.32
ExtROM 1.12.178 WWE
What version of BT Manager are you running? i think 3900 is the latest and can be found here. Also the Radio Rom 1.02 is pretty old as well; I would upgrade to the latest BT manager and go from there.
Moto HS850
Thanks for that.
I've upgraded the radio to 1.13 and the BT to 3900. Now I can call out and receive calls no problem except for one MAJOR pain in the ass...
When the device goes into standby mode, a received call will not wake up the device and reconnect the BT headset in time to answer the call - I have to answer it via the device green button. I've looked through the forum and found that a few people have had this problem. I realise that not going into standby mode burns up the battery more quickly but I'm hoping for a way to get a compromise... i.e. standby for the screen and the processor, but bluetooth and the headset connection still active.
I've yet to upgrade my ROM to 1.31 (from O2 UK/IRL) or 1.40 if I figure out how to rejig the iMate ROM for my XDA. Has anyone had any experience of a ROM upgrade helping (or worsening!) this problem.
Better yet - anyone have a workaround?
Your advice is much appreciated...
Hi all,
I have bought 3 x HTC S740 for my company. They are SIM free versions running on Vodafone UK. CE OS 5.2.20279 (Build 20279.1.3.4) - Radio 12.23.30.06H_0.24.30.24 - Ril Version 2.002.
The phones keep locking up (at least once a day). Nothing happens if I press any buttons. If I wait 3/4 minutes the phone will come back to life (and it'll actually start doing the commands I send with the previous button presses). It looks like it's a CPU problem.
Also, the bluetooth keeps disconnecting in the car. It shows as turned off on the phone and you have to restart the phone to be able turn BT back on.
Of course, HTC is no help. Is it worth trying a different ROM?
Thanks

I would say yes. I have non of the problems you mentioned, so they could be Vodafone ROM's bugs.
It's not running the Vodafone ROM; it's running the HTC one (SIM free). I was actually thinking of trying the Vodafone ROM. What ROM are you running?
Oh, I misread your post. Mine runs:
Rom version: 1.14.401.1
Rom date: 10/06/08
Radio version: 0.24.30.24
No significant problems with it so far.
My ROM version is 1.14.405.1 dated 27/10/08. Any chance you could extract your ROM and post it?
See my post about the bluetooth. Yes I tend to notice it when I have been using it in the car (you don't drive a BMW do you) but not always.
I am not getting any lock ups though.
Yes I saw your post. I drive a push bike The guy who uses the phone drives a Saab 93. His HTC S730 worked perfectly in that car. HTC said we should have checked the phone was compatible. Duck & dive!!

I am not sure this is a car kit related issue because my phone does work fine with the car it's just that every now any then, I notice that the bluetooth has switched off.
it does not do this whilst it is connected to the car. It's just that I come to make a call and realize that the phone has not connected because the BT has turned itself off at sometime before I got into the car.
I've not been able to recreate the problem. The Saab belongs to a Sales guy, so he's always running around and I can't keep up on my push bike but what he says is that Bluetooth switches off whilst connected in the car and then he can't turn it back on unless he restarts the phone.
Same Proble
I hve the same Problem with a Opel Astra. And thers no help from HTC.
I recently installed the Bluetooth update from the HTC website.
Since then the disconnecting from the car problem seems to have got an awful lot better. It now only seems to happen if I have previously disconnected a BT headset and then walked out the door and got straight in the car.
anyone solve it?
I have soled it using this...
