Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for any helps, and well appreciated.
I have a SX56, Special Edition Rom v.1.2, it worked fine with AT&T for almost 2 years.
Since AT&T merged with Cingular, I frequently lost signal or get roaming from Cingular, and everytime I get roaming signal I have to dial "1+area code + number" eventhough it 's a local call. I couldn't know what signal I get until I make a call. It's really a hastle to dial 10 digits while driving.
Two days ago I decided to switch to T-Mobile, but the signal just shows Cingular all the time. I tried to dial to/from my home phone, sometimes it dial and sometime it doesn't. What does the problem? do I need to reconfigurate somethings ?
Here is its information:
ROM ver. 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date: 05/15/03
Radio Ver. A.20.10
Protocol Ver. 324e4
If possible, could I upgrade it to WM2003 or anything newer ? I tried install some software but it doesn't compatible with my current version.
Anyone have any tips about the problems PLEASE help me out. I do appreciate that.
ThankYou !!!.

I'm in Melbourne and using Telstra.
My XDA
ROM ver 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date 10/11/02
Radio version 4.16
Protocol version 32S54
My problems are:
1.weak signal
2.phone hangs and wont automatically reconnect to network until I switch it off and back on.
Is that only my bad lack or others have similar problems?
Is there a possibility of improving this by change of settings or...?
Any comments appreciated :?:
MY XDA Freezes and Drops Calls
Hello, I am in Ireland. My Phone Hangs and Drops every now and then. It Releases itself after about 5 minutes. Sometimes I answer a call and it drops the line at this stage. I went into an o2 shop to ask them about this but they suggested that there is no other customers with this problem.
the same problem with ROM 3.15.15 ENG / Radio 4.16.00
I have the same hang up problem. I bought mine in Australia as well but use it all around the world, for that matter i have never used it in Australia but i have the hang up problem sometimes. Never the weak signal though. Maybe i am just lucky.
Exactly the same problem with xda bought in HK and used in Russia. And as i note this problem occurs while other mobile phone near xda shows "good" signal level. So I have to restart phone each hour
3.15.15 ENG / 4.16.00
I'm ready to write program which will switch phone module off and on hourly
same

Same problem in SG. 3.14.17ENG with 4.16 Radio stack. Took my XDA to the service center and they upgraded the radio stack to 4.17... Seems like improved so far but not sure if this is a complete resolution yet. Have not seen this radio stack released on the internet yet.
I have the same problem - I seem to be getting a good signal, and all of a sudden the audio just clicks off totally, while the connection time is still ticking over. I've installed the new official patches which seemed to slightly improve things, but the problem still occurs. It'd be nice if someone could resolve this, I've got no idea.
Hi all,
Have the same problem here in Saudi Arabia if the signal gets week at some spot it will not come back only after a reset..
Hello folks,
I have a QTEK 1010 bought from Dubai in October 2003.
Model PW10A1
ROM version 3.16.52 ENG
ROM Date 03/10/03
Radio version 3.19.01
Protocol version 32S54
The device works well but periodically goes off (PDA and cell phone) and pressing the power button at this point soft resets it. I have tried removing add on software (D9 dialer and SMS name utility), soft resetting and hard resetting.
A hard reset seemed to solve the problem - until I synched with Outlook again - but then maybe I did not wait long enough since even after synching and software being loaded, it does fine for hours at a stretch. It is my impression that an incoming or missed call causes it to do that but since it happens inconsistently, I cannot tell.
My questions: -
Is this more likely to be solved by a ROM upgrade or a Radio upgrade? Or is this likely to be a hardware issue? A friend and I bought two devices together but his ROM and radio versions are higher numbers. He does not have this problem but then his cellular provider is different.

Any complaints so far?
Thanks !! downloading now ..
Any news about it? 148 works great but always want to try something new
I am getting 3G signal almost all the time as before it was better then 141...148....will test all day tommorrow in differant spots where I usualy loose signals.
Thank you. Seems OK so far... How come this is only a GSM upgrade?
*EDIT* I don't notice any difference in reception between 1.50, 1.48, and 1.40.30... I'll have to see about battery differences.
Thanks pof
Flashed it and will see how it goes.
thanks pof,just flashing it.

I believe it means that it is just radio? At least I got UMTS reception as well.
Testing it now, hope it's better than the 1.48 which caused me to lose several calls.
Repository
Please, can someone upload this to some rapidshare - there are many problems with FTP download on proxy in work. Thanks a lot!
waiting feedbacks......
Thanks POF. Flashing it now (85%).
Let you all know how it's working.
Remember all, please post your location and comments on radio 1.50.00.00 to help other outs on the locations.
Thanks.
thanks

Can't receive calls,
China mainland.
Here in the Netherlands this version is working perfect. Get nice HSDPA connection. Wifi is working with WPA security.
All calls come in, only not when HSDPA connection is active. Had this problem also with previous versions 1.47 and earlier.
Hope it's also working fine for you too....
Anyone in Toronto try this yet? Have been having problems with radio's after 1.43 and missed calls with Rogers. Hopefully 1.50 resolves this issue.
I will not be able to test this myself until late today and will post results once done.
Quick question: Anyone know the origin of this release? Did it come from a specific carrier, as most do?
Thanks.

Same thing here in Italy with TIM phone company.
I think that the HDSPA problem is not a radio software fault, if i try to call my Tytn while i am on an HDSPA session, the tone from the phone company is not "free" or "busy", it is the one they use when a number is wrong or the line is absent or broken.
I will check the battery usage too.
Cheers

Silly question, If it is a GSM only upgrade, it wouldnt effect HDSPA?
Anyone tested radio roms in .se ?
I think that 1.47.00.10 is the best yet.
All roms above disconnects me when driving around in car..
Same problem for me.
I've tried every radio from 1.51 and worked my way downwards. I'm currently trying 1.35.0.11.
The problem with dropped calls during driving disappeared, but now i get dropped calls when standing still instead. If I do a soft reset, the phone works normally for some time before it starts dropping calls again.
Tested new 1.47.30.10 ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326995
Each radio is calibrated for the network it was designed for. So, I would first test the radios that were made for the 3 network in Sweden as they will most likely produced the best results; all other radios would produce mixed/subjective results.
And how do I know which radios that are made for 3;s network in Sweden ?
I've tried the radio version that I found in one of the instructions on 3's support-page (1.38.00.10)
http://www.tre.se/upload/Programvara/mob/Instruktioner_uppgradHTCTyTN.pdf
That didn't work any better than the rest I've tested.
1.35.0.11 worked like a charm for some days, with minor bugs, until just recently when the phone began dropping calls again..
I will try with 1.47.30.10 later today.
1.47.30.10 worked in the same way as the other "newer" radios did:
Not moving = Good!
Moving = Dropped calls. You CAN NOT be in a moving vehicle since roaming between your operators antennas or changing from 3G to GSM disconnects the call immediately.
The "older" radios works fine for a random timelimit, then a soft reset is needed. Roaming doesn't seem to disconnect calls.
Would it help if i changed ROM / ExtROM?
Current setup:
Swedish WM 6, downloaded from HTC (3.54.263.2)
Radio: 1.27.00.00 (have tried every radio version that is newer without success..)
ExtROM: 3.54.263.102
Operator: 3
Area: Stockholm / Sweden
Fine. But I have 1.50 with Telia it works gr8
I've just upgraded my Vodafone 1605 to WM6 successfully, and updated my radio version. The problem I'm faced with now is that my device hunts for signal whenever I'm indoors and simply wont find one until I go outside.
Does anybody have any suggestions or fixes for this? I've tried various radio versions and I'm currently on 1.43.00.00 with the same issues.
Phone details:
ROM version - 3.54.255.3
Radio Version - 1.43.00.00
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Thanks in advance.
This is almost certainly the Radio Upgrade - newer doesn't always mean better because they are often released optimised to a specific carrier.
Try 1.48 or 1.38 (I find 1.38 works well in most parts of the world).
Could you please link to either one of those upgrades?
I'm literally tearing my hair out here and can't find them - Thanks for your understanding.
*EDIT*
Found this wonderful website....I guess it's just trial and error now!

Okay, I've just updated to radio version 1.48 and I'm still getting no signal....
Any ideas guys? I'm getting ready to chuck this phone against a wall...
I had really bad reception until I used 1.54.07.00 radio from ATT rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334697
I've already tried that ROM and still the same thing...
I'm wondering if it's a problem with this windows install....?
Okay, another update on this...I've tried 1.54.07.00 radio from ATT again (so that's my current ROM) and I'm still getting no signal.
When the SIM is in my old Sony Ericsson it works fine...so it's definately not network coverage issues.
So far the ROMS i've tried are:
1.38
1.43
1.48
1.54
None of them have meant I get coverage in this room, where I used to be able to get it no problem before with my old Hermes. (This one was sent as an exchange from Vodafone due to my last one having screen issues).
Plllleeaaassseee help
Yet another update.
I've just done the following in an attempt to remedy the situation:
Unlocked the phone to take and SIM.
Flashed the Radio to 1.48 ROM.
Flashed the phone to Windows mobile 6 HTC release.
Still...no signal.
Is this now a hardware issue?
Is your SIM card old? There are some reports of some older cards not working too well when using the 3G, HEDGE or EDGE networks.
Try setting your phone to GSM only just to test this - otherwise I'm at a loss.
hmm same here affter a wm6 upgrade.
Noticed that my orange simcard does get reception indoors though!!
outdoors my vodafone gets reception (not always, but it does get gsm gprs connection) but indoors my vodafone prepaid card gets no reception at all..
Downgraded to the wm5 rom and 1.27 radio but still this problem stays.
On the choice of network providers i dont see the dutch vodafone activated? (unticked) it does find and see it but wont get on it.
After schaps 4.01 rom i noticed that with -g3 connection always on- vodafone did get connection but only on 3g (umts), as soon as i click on gsm only instead of automatic all signal strength is gone again.
I am now on the orginal wm5 rom and radio 1.27 but still no vodafone? is there blacklisting of any sorts by the poviders? My vodafone simcard is brandnew!
Please help
hmm
Seems it is a blocked imei. been reading a bit on this forum and something similar happened to another member..
Vodafone works for a while but then it crashes and you wont get contact with kpn vodafone tmobile anymore. only orange seems to work ok.
Must be a nicked phone. weird.. almost 100% sure that the phone isnt nicked.
Where can i check if an imei is reported stolen?
UPDATE: strangly enuff the tytn now works again with my vodafone sim, but only on 3G? .. also i checked and the phone workes great on orange and t-mobile, kpn it does not recognize.. but why did it start to work again on vodafone?
I have a T-Mobile Vario II, I have unlocked it, installed HARDSPL v7, installed radio 1.50.00 and it works fine with WM5.
However ANY version of 6.1 installed and the phone function goes to pot. To get a service network I have to manually configure it and then it shows a good signal.
Now if I try to dial a number it just says "dialling" but doesn't actually do anything until it times out.
It also doesn't accept incoming calls, it goes straight to answer phone.
Everything thing except SMS works fine.
I downloaded the official T-Mobile WM6 and this also works fine now, I can make and receive calls, the service network was picked up automatically.
I would like to upgrade to WM6.1 with a cooked ROM but don't know how to fix the above problems? Thanks for any suggestions......
Well, try changing your radio rom, reading around it seems that different ones have problems with different roms ect.
Im running 1.46.30.10 on T mobile UK 3G (I have the same Verio II as you)
(radio rom list: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms )
Plus this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364216
Fastest rom around imo, and I have tried almost all of the WM6.1 ones.
New radio
Thanks I will try that radio and then do another WM6.1 upgrade
Hmm
I would upgrade with the latest shipped WM 6.0 first, which comes with radio anyway.
The Verio should work with DOPOD ROM from here, looks like .00 is made for US and UK, 30.10 is made for down under, and 00.10 is made for general use, at least that's where I read somewhere.
Solved
I have solved this buy going to phone/settings/band and changing the network type to GSM instead of auto.
I have also changed my phone to a Vario 3 and the problem was exactly the same.
