ok I got a Tmobile 4.00.10 ROM inside my O2XDA with 4.21 radio and I found this bug just today... when my unit is CHARGING via the USB cable WITH THE SCREEN OFF, my friend sent me an SMS, I dont receive it at all. The unit just wake up and run the Activesync program to sync with the computer. If I remove the cable, everything goes back to normal again.
those with the Tmobile ROM 4.00.10, can you guys please help me verify this??? CHARGE your unit WITH THE SCREEN OFF and get someone to send you an SMS, and if its confirmed that the SMS dont go through, we got some serious issue here...
WE CANT BE POSSIBLY CHARGE THE XDA WITH THE SCREEN ON ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just did a quick test and I got my SMS with no problems. But I do have T-Mobile service with a T-Mobile radio stack. Perhaps this makes a difference.
well, maybe with Tmobile service with Tmobile radio stack doesnt face this problem...I am using Tmobile ROM with 4.21 radio stack on an O2 XDA, I wonder does it really make a difference..
hey..
Im having the same problem and I have the TMobile ROM and Tmobile Radio Stack...The sound alert works, but the screen will not turn on at all..any one else having this problem?

I think that's the way it is in WM 2003 - the screen does not light up for SMS notifications. A battery saving feature?
It is by design that alerts do not wake the unit up completely in WM2003. The only thing that does so is a phone call. Everything else just triggers an alert. Personally, I like it, because I don't whip my phone out for every SMS or email I get.
cool
thanks for the replies..i didnt think it was a serious problem..but just something to get used to from using wm2002
i think you guys misunderstood what i am saying
what i am saying is, you wont get any SMS coming in when you charge with a USB activesync cable with your screen turned off...
try it guys!!

Does anybody experience of the message "Wireless Radio is OFF....blablabla"
This sucks bec even if my battery is 50% or more and the radio signal is good, This message suddenly pops out. They say that soft reset will correct the problem but after soft reset my O2 XDA wouldnt connect to carrier network anymore.
For me to connect to Phone network I have to plugin the charger at least 10 seconds then my XDA connects immediately to phone. The problem is I have experience being outside ofc or home and experience this, then my XDA phone feature is now useless.
Anyone there who has some fix for this problem.
Thanks

It would help to know what Radio Software version and what OS version you use.
xda Phone Off
My settings are the following and I experience the same issue.

The interesting part is that I purchased this phone for some of the cool features like recording conversations, because I have had numerous bad experiences with my old Cingular wireless service. Anyway, so I call T-Mobile to discuss the problem (and record the conversation). The CSR Rep told me "the GPRS systems have a cue, and that the longer I leave the phone on the lower in the que i get. By soft resetting my phone (xda Pocket PC) that it put's me higher in the que. Well this does not work, and when I told her how amazed I was about this and that I was glad I recorded the conversation, she phreaked and told me to stop recording, then proceeded to hang up.
If this is ture I am really amazed, but it still does not get me higher in any que, when the service stops, it stays stoped until some time that it decides to come back on. (T-Maobile Atlanta, Ga. area)

Hi Guys,
I thought I would let you know of a harmless yet very annoying bug on the O2 Network. If you are currently running Radio Shack version 4.21.00 you may find yourself receiving dozens of blank SMS messages. AS I did… 47 to be over the weekend to be precise.
I called O2 on Sunday and there is some kind of intermittent problem with the Radio Shack version and reporting to the network. The phone is paged with an SMS by O2 to see if a voice mail can be delivered or the phone is on. This SMS should not be seen. However it is.
O2 said replying with the word ‘stop’ should stop it however this will not work as the number does not exist, it is the message centre.
I finally got O2 to fix the problem by calling them (that only took 2 hours :evil: ). O2 are currently looking to release a new version of the software to resolve this. They also mentioned a slight problem with Signal too. O2 said that they were going to call me today or tomorrow with more information about this.
If anyone else has had this problem or similar can you let me know :?: .
Gil.

Dear,
I also have upgraded my radio stack from v4.20 to v4.21. It works pretty well so far (anyway, I am in Thailand). I think there is nothing wrong with the upgrade, your local operator might be responsible for this
Regards
I would say only upgrade the radio shack if you are doing so to resolve a specific issue or bug.
The problem with blank messages is just annoying and as long as you keep your phone off/on silent over night it is not a problem. Since I spoke to O2 I have only got one blank message.
I upgraded as I had problems with signal strength. BTW, this is still not resolved :evil:
If you have a reason to upgrade then do so…
Gil…
Hi guys/girls
Have a XDA which has a very strange problem, I have signal, can send and take texts (Vodafone and Orange networks tested) but can not take or make a call, sometimes the phone will ring and then after about 5 sec's it will cut off and I will have missed call, I have tried to take the call but it say unable to take the call (have not yet got it to call out), now the Orange sim I use has GPRS and I get the little G up for about 2 sec's then it's gone again, so anyone had this problem before and can point me in the right place to get this fixed.
Also I got the phone like this so I know no histroy.
Info on phone
Rom 3.17
Radio 4.21
I'm guessing this is a hardware problem so any link's or pic's of the radio side of the XDA might help me to see if something has come loose or might need resoldering.
Many thanks
I too have a simlar problem
The XDA I have came with the Special Edition Rom v1.2 on it
I put in a vodaphone sim I know works and it allowed me to dial out - only to cut off as soon as it seemed to make a connection. So I tried to diel to it to get a message about a system error.
I tried an O2 new pay as you go sim and had the problem of the G2 symbol appearing and disappearing on me.
Anyone out there got any clues ?
Owlfandbg, this sounds to me like a blocked phone, I have been sold 2 phones in the past that did the same and found out they had been subject to insurance claims and blocked from all networks.
any ideas how I find out if the phone is blocked
and is there anything I can dan do about it?
If your radio stack is before 4.21 you can use xda manipulator to "manipulate" the imei which will then give you network access. I must qualify this by stating that interfering with the imei in the UK renders you liable to 5 years in jail plus a huge fine if you get caught.

Been a long time lurker, but now i am in need of some help.
Had the galaxy s2 for a couple of weeks now and most of the time it works great. but occasionaly it will not recieve calls or sms. i get no notifications of missed calls, voicemail messages etc. to the caller it just goes straight to voicemail. A few hours later i get all? the sms come in at once, sometimes a voicemail notification but no missed calls. when this happens i have a good signal and am able to call out.
Its definately not because i was using data services at the time and not lack of signal.
I have rooted the phone, but still with a stock rom (ke7 ?)
Anyone got any ideas ?
The handset ? The sim card ? or the network ?
All the best
have fun

i have the same issue as you ...
the only solution that i found is to set my phone is GSM MODE only but you will loose your 3g/h data and only use EDGE

Lo Rich. Miggy round?(private joke)
Was wondering, was the phone on charge when it missed the calls/texts?
it could be any number of things, really. if your sim card is not fairly new i would replace it just to be on the safe side. you might try hard resetting your phone (which will delete all your info so back it up first) and starting over.
do you have any apps that block data connections at various times? if so i would delete that app and use the phone for a few days without it to see if the issue goes away.
have you flashed a different radio? if so, try the one that matches your rom, or try the newest one you can find.
there are many possible causes, but if i were in your position i would hard reset it and not install any apps that might interfere with your connection to the network and i would make sure my sim card was fairly new. if the issue still persists you might try asking for an exchange if possible.
If upu have the phone on GSM only then incoming calls go directly to voicemail when data bursts are happening (which is often). So switch to 3g to fix.
If you're not on GSM then I have no idea, maybe no signal in that area...
Thanx
Ok theres possibly been a development with this.
But first a big thanx to all your suggestions, and my response to them.
Seems a bit pointless having such a device then crippling some of it just to get the basic phone part to work. although switching to gsm only may be a temporary solution.
Fault occurs either on charge or not.
Fault has occured whilst at home where all data connections are disabled and wi-fi exclusively used. I havent tried flashing a different radio yet, but it is still on the latest ?? ke7 ? firmware. Sim card was brand new a couple of weeks ago.
So gsm only wont help, but as above when at home i use wi-fi.
Now i spoke to my network, talk mobile a few days ago, they say it will take more than 5 days for their IT dept to contact me to try and sort this ! as i can still make calls they dont see it as a major fault ??? Looks like customer care is not important to them.
I have also spoke to the company i purchased from(wish i hadnt as customer DISatisfaction appears high on their list of prioritys)mobiles.co.uk. I was speaking to someone at their Fullfillment team yesterday about getting another handset sent out, but for some reason i couldnt finish arranging it yesterday. Then early yesterday eve one of their guys rang me back out of the blue to say he had been looking into my fault and had found something not quite right with the original connection they had set up. He was honest enough to admit it was a bit beyond his knowledge and was getting someone from the connections dept to help him. they are going to re-do my connection and for me to wait 24hrs for this to be sorted and hopefully it should be ok after that. All credit to Leeroy at mobiles.co.uk.
The only problem now is other than getting someone to ring me every 1/2hr, how do i know if its working or not ?
I guess the best i can do is leave it a while and see if i get any more complaints that people cant get hold of me.
Once again many thanx for all your suggestions, i will update this when i am confident it has or hasnt been fixed.
many thanx
have fun
rich
this happens to me perhaps every other day
i get a txt saying so and so called but left no message
my reception is fine and my phone has been sitting in one place on 3 bars
i call the person and they said they tried to call and it went straight to voicemail
the txt arrives instantly so i am putting up with just calling people back as its not very frequent
plus i have 1200 mins so i need to use them!
I have the same problem and I believe mine has something to do with the way the towers handle the switch from 3g to edge. You said you get a text message showing a missed call, I think that would be usefull to me also until we can get this fixed. Are you using google voice to get your sms, if not what?
I have the exact same problem, and it's beginning to interfere with my work. The HSDPA signal here is very weak. So I switched it to GSM only, which resolved my signal problem, but I keep missing calls. All I get is a sms saying that I missed a call. Would my problems be solved if I had full HSDPA signal the entire time? You said that calls are missed when data bursts are happening on GSM only? I almost never receive a call the first time. Only after ~3 attempts would they get a hold of me.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Hi, I have an htc titan and I live in Italy; I bought it from expansys because here in not on sale yet..My problem is this: when I plug the headphones ( any brand from htc to something else) I'm not able to receive or make phonecalls but I can receive and send sms and the very strange thing is that this happens only with my operator ( TIM) but not with my wife's (Vodaphone). I went to a TIM shop and I've tried new simcards but nothing has changed...Htc cstumor service told me to try to uninstall all the apps I've installed to see if someone of them is causing the problem...what do you think? I am the only one on earth to have this kind of problem...???
Thank you!
Can anybody hell me??

Well, there is a few thing you need to check.
1. Set all region to Italy
2. Make sure TIM has the required Freq for Titan, EU Titan would be fine, not sure about AT&T one
3. Use Connection Setup to get the phone automatically set up.
4. yes, like ktdan1 said, check the speaker.
5. Describe more about the error. You should do a little video.
First of all thank you for your hell!!

1.The phone is already setted on Italy and usually ( i mean without the headphones plugged in ) is working fine..
2. I don't know how can I check the right Tim Freq for Titan and believe me the Tim customer service I don't think is able to know that..
3. I used the automatically set up
4. When the headphones are plugged in the speaker of the phone is not working...I mean the sound comes out of the headphone..
The point is that when I plug the headphones is like I lose the connection but not totally infact the bar is full of signal, i can receive and send sms but when I dial a number the phone call doesn't start and nobody is able to call me...
Another strange thing is that If I dial a number without the headphones I can make a call and then I can plug the headphones without any problems..is like the headphones are blocking just the start of the call...
As you know the headphones is also the antenna for the radio and even if I'm not a technician maybe that's could be the reason...
As I told you with my wife's simcard from vodaphone this problem doesn't happen..And I tried other simcards alway from Tim and some problem!
Please ask me anything you need to know to try to solve the problem..I'm sorry for the video..when I have a little more time I'll try to do it ( I have a 3 months old son and believe me having time for a cellular now is like looking for water in the desert..but I need to solve the problem beacuse I work with my smartphone..)

I see your problem now. Because the same thing happened to me. Can't confirmed yet but i was able to call somebody yesterday with the Headphone on, but the sound come out very crappy with a lot of "bzzzzzz" sound, also the sound of weak signal or something like that. But believe me, we are on the same boat. I used to see my Titan refuse to make a call, like when i dial a number, it just automatically end that call, and everyone who try to call me will receive "tut tut tut tut" rapidly.
I will try to investigate this thing out.
I thought you wasn't able to hear anything from the phone
Ohh is good to know that I'm not alone in this world!!!
Yes I have the same tu tut tu...
As I wrote I can send and receive sms with headphones in, can you?
The italian htc customer service really don't know anything about it! they always confuse the tytn with the titan!! after specyfing what telephone I have they told me to unistall all the apps that I have...but I dind't do it 'cause I'm quite sure this is not the problem...
Anyway, how can it's possibile that we're the only two unlucky guys with this problem?

Just wait for it. Probably because Titan is not well known at Italy and it isn't released yet?
I think this is a Hardware Issue somehow, because the headphone that HTC gives us is the same as the one i used on the HD7 and it perform without anyproblem on HD7.
I will contact one of the old HTC American Tech Support who used to help me and i will ask him about it.
I also have a strange carrier related problem.. I used to have Norwegian Chess and no problem at all, but now I've changed to Telenor and got a new simcard.. Now, when I call people that have other carriers than Telenor, like my friend got Tele2, I get the calling tone thru the back speaker.. It's really loud and it's getting on my nerves.. Seems like the Titan really hates simcards?
Still nothing?
