Radio & ROM conflicts? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Relatively quiet member here, flame away if you like but I was not able to find the answer by searching the forum.
I’m running ROM 2.06.502.3 and have been having some problems with the radio. I’m using the radio ROM that was bundled with it (1.34.00.10) but nearly every day I have a number of problems occur. The OS is stable and no crashes or bugs that I have noticed but periodically the phone (8525) will stop receiving calls but still show full connectivity. I can make outgoing calls fine but incoming ring to voicemail. When I send texts I get no indication that they failed or no connectivity is present but once I realize my phone is having this problem I soft reset and all the texts go out at once and all the ones Ive been missing come in. Additionally several times when I have dialed out, finished calling and the phone will not hang up. The unit does not freeze - all OS functionally still present - but I can not end the call and the call timer keeps going until I soft reset even if other party disconnects.
Is this a problems with the rom, my hardware, or the combination of ROM and radio version? Any other radio version that is more stable with this ROM? Thank you in advance to everyone here. Even though I don’t post much I read quite a bit and appreciate what everyone contributing to the community does for all of us.

Anyone? I think Im going to flash with the .35 radio , although I would assume the .34 was included with the ROM because it was most stable with it. Please correct me if Im wrong. Thanks.

I've had similar things happen a while ago with my old Typhoon; it was some kind of issue with Cingular. Can you go to some other area (that uses a different tower for sure) and verify that this still happens? Or maybe just hard-reset and don't install anything for a while. I just don't think the 1.34 radio was reported to be this bad.

I had a similar issue with the 1.27 radio (can't end calls). I haven't seen this since I went to the 1.35 radio. The fact that you get them with the 1.34 radio is surprising to me however b/c I was under the impression that there were very few differences between the two.

orange m3100 playing up.

hi there, i recently upgraded my rom from the orginal orange one, as my phone was playing up. it was always not wanting to wake up from going in to standby without doing a soft reset. so then i upgraded to the WM6 vinilla rom, the same thing happened then but it was alot worse, then upgraded to the 0.21 rom. and im still getting the problem, without having any new programs installed its still doing it, so im not to sure whats the cause?
heres some info about it. Im in the UK with the network Orange too.
Thanks.
Radio Version: 1.06.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.37.7010.01W
ROM Verion : 3.22.110.1
Hi,
I have also recently upgraded from the original Orange rom etc to XDA Live 0.2.1. I also had occasional (only occassional) failure to wake up issues.
Since upgrading I have not had this, and the ROM is much faster and seems more stable. Today I upgraded my radio to 1.27 as well, but too early to comment on that.
I also use Phone Alarm, SPB Time, SPB Weather, and Pocket Plus. I had an issue with PA not changng profiles automatically but reverted to an slightly earlier version and touch wood it seems to have resolved it.
Can't really advise much theefore, but maybe the fact mine works (so far) could rule out a few things.
its really annoying, i would of thought that flashing a new rom it would be fine. but its still playing up, alot worse, i have to soft rest the phone everytime i want to make a phone call or to check i have a text. cant stand much longer of this. where can i get that radio rom from?
just flashed it with xda live 0.10 this time see if thats any better.
still no luck, fronzen about 4 times since i last posted. just wont wake from sleep, even if i set it to stay on without the backlight it will still freeze, im testing without a sim card in atm to see if that makes a difference,
anyone what can be causing this?
thanks.
@bomber456
Your Problem With The Calls In WMXL Is That If You've Upgraded Straight From The Orange ROM Then You Have An Old Radio Installed. Upgrade You Radio After Installing The WMXL OS And That Should Help Iron Out Your Calling Problems.
Cheers
Are you using a micro sd card?
If so, try starting from scratch WITHOUT putting the card anywhere near the phone. (ie don't use the card at all until you can prove it has nothing to do with it.)
Just a thought. I am sure some cards caused problems. (although I am using one (sandisk).
EDIT: Just seen Mousey's post - definitely a good idea, although I had the same radio as you using WM6 till I upgraded the radio today, with no problems.
where can i get a good radio for the orange network in the uk?
also i tried it without putting the sd card in and it was still the same. one thing i tried was not to put the sim card in and it was much better, dont think it crashed atall, so its down to the phone side of it.
thanks.
oh another thing, when flashing the rom it said it would take 20 mins, it only took about 5-7 mins maybe less :S is that a problem?
No. The XDA Live install is quicker than a normal rom.
"where can i get a good radio for the orange network in the uk?"
I am using 1.27 - check the wiki for radio only upgrades - same process as upgrading rom to XDA live but with a different file.
I understand that 1.34 or 1.35 are supposed to be OK, but anything from 1.27 should be OK - I have been using 1.27 today with no issues yet, but still early.
I am struggling to find any notes etc to specify the differences or specific advantages of the different radios.
Try one and see - DOESN'T NEED A HARD RESET.
installed 1.34 and its worse. losing signal etc. but im still getting crashes. i dont know what the hell is the fault. its so unstable its unbelieveable.
update : the phone doesnt crash or freeze or anything, if there is no sim card in the device. but it will crash when there is one in, i think its due to switching from 3g to gsm. also ive notcied that sometimes when i boot the phone where its supposed to display the radio and protocol info, it says no GSM!
ive now installed radio 1.27
would any software beable to still be in my phone after a rom upgrade?
any help would be great.
Perhaps try with a different SIM? may be a dodgy SIM...
seemed to work fine with my gfs orange pay as you go sim. but crashed once in a few hours. ive now unlocked my phone and CID unlocked it, and it hasnt crashed once. i think the boot number has cahnged from 04 to 06 too, seems to be stable now, (hopefully)

No Sound when answering calls - Desperately need help!

Ever since 3.04 up to 3.12 using DCD's code when I answer calls there is absolutely no sound until I reset my phone. Users at the other end say the phone just goes to a busy signal.
I looked for 2 weeks to find the answer but got nothing. Today I had to reset 5 times. I need help, fast!
Thanks to all.
Have you tried reflashing again? Try a clean rom and see if it still happens.
The phone was brand new when I flashed it. I had it replaced and the original phone did the same thing. Any suggestions on which rom to run with? I find since radio 3.39 it is worse.
I currently use 3.39 radio and 3.1.2 rom with no issues...What radio are you using now?
Originally I was using Sprint 3.35 and 3.04; phone wouldn't answer once every 2 or 3 days. Then I up'd to 3.12 and phone wouldn't answer once a day. I got fed up and convinced my supplier to switch my phone with a new one because some buttons weren't working. With the brand new one (wasn't referbushed according to EPST) I did a strait Oli2.4, then 3.39 radio, then 3.12 of DCD's rom. Now I'm getting 2 to 3 times a day. Today was the worst with 5 before lunch.
Try flashing back to 3.35 radio and reflashing DCD rom and see if that helps any... Actually reflash the rom...not just hardresetting
We think alike. As i was writing the first port I started the Sprint flash process. I will leave it there for a few days to see what happens then try 3.04.
What have you added to the rom? List both OEM's and cabs. Also, did you cook a rom with the kitchen or are you using the precooked rom?
Whos your carrier?
2 answer both questions, my carrier is Telus, and I've always used the Telus based rom from DCD. I've also gone days without any modifications. The only thing that gets installed after re-flashing from scratch is my email config.
Did you install the Telus carrier cab after installing the 3.1.2 Telus Rom?
Yes I did.
Did you program with *22803?
No I did not. What are the steps to complete this and what does this step do?
Also to update, I have been running with the Sprint 3.35 rom and no dropped sounds in the call, but I did notice that every now and then when a call was coming in my phone would vibrate but wouldn't ring. I'm starting to think maybe the mp3 sound as my ringer may be at fault here. Either way I will wait the results of tomorrow's test to see what happens.
I also had a problem like this before, and it only happens when receiving calls. Then after a few weeks it just stopped happening. So I assumed it to be a network problem.
Another update. I had a "no sound" call today and had to reboot. So even with the Sprint 3.35 it happens. My next step will be to remove my mp3 file that I use as a ringer.
Also, does anyone have that procedure to #22803 your phone?

Just call it and follow the prompts.
-Hard resetted
-Flashed with 3.04 of DCD version Telus (already had oli 2.4 and sprint's 3.35 radio)
-Didn't let customizations run
-Ran the *22803 procedure
Ran a full day with many, many calls and no issues yet. Will update again tomorrow.
Here's hoping!
P.S. Congrats to DCD and his wings.
There a reason you're not using 3.1.2?
I found a better battery performance with 3.04 and i use my alot.

DCD3.1.2 / 3.39.10 Reception Issues.

I flashed my Verizon XV6800 to DCD 3.1.2 Radio 3.39..
I have always had 1 bar at home and barely one bar at my office. with my last 3 phones reception was identical. I'd drop maybe every 10th - 15th call at home and every 5th - 10th call at my office. This was no big deal, I'd call back and finish. Text messages / MMS incoming calls were always reliable. (Rarely an incoming call would just go to voicemail and not ring)
SO..
I flashed my 6800.. Everything works great everywhere except the office. I can’t receive Text messages.. Maybe every hour or so, 30 Texts will flood in at once. (I get a lot of text messages from server monitoring software.) My Phone will not ring any longer(only at the office). All incoming calls go to voicemail. I assume that since the Office had poor reception.. losing just a bit of signal would knock me out completely.
Anyway.. GPS doesn’t help if I can’t get calls where I need them the most, so I flashed back to stock... and I STILL have this issue. My phone no longer works at my office.
I have ruled out coincidental tower issues in the area.. my co-worker has the same phone with untouched stock software.
In debug, our signals are identical. All other version numbers and settings are identical. His phone works fine. When sending a Text through vtext.com to both phones, his gets the message immediately, my phone will receive it after an hour or longer.. sometimes 3 or 4 hours later. Outgoing calls drop after 30 seconds.. the phone is now unusable at the office.
Other than swapping out the phone... can anyone tell me if there are any settings i can compare or check on? Perhaps the reflash back to stock kept some settings or something? I know there are tweaks like setting how often your phone polls the tower for a call etc... Things like this could have an effect maybe?
Anyway.. After 2 days of searching and playing with settings.. I figured I was better off with 3.1.2 / 3.39 since the phone dont work anymore at the office anyway. so now I'm back to that.
should I try 3.35 or 3.37 Radio??
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Did you install the Verizon Carrier cab?
Yes on the 3.1.2 firmware.
Obviously not when I flashed back to the stock because it doesn't need it.... right?
Also.. I used a PPCGeeks Thread for the Flashing back to stock. (Maybe this helps)
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=21161
Yes on the 3.1.2 firmware.

Right. Have you tried OTA programming?
Yeah, Each time I've flashed.. I first run the OTA both option 1 and 2. then I usually need to call VZW for my AKey, or to reset the data Services because they do not work.. they have been cool each time though
I haven’t actually tried OTA FROM the office... because i cant hold a call long enough to have it complete. I'm not sure if the location matters though.
I can certainly get the phone swapped, but the first thing i'll wanna do with the new one is try DCD 3.1.2.. Unless there is a recommendation on a different Rom / Radio?
I've read a good many of your posts on other threads and you seem to be good at this stuff... so I'm willing to try whatever you recommend.
Also I seriously appreciate your time.

I get Turn on LPM failed.
Maybe I should not try it from the storage card... let me try again.
** Update: It did update the PRL when i moved it off the SD Card.
However I sent 3 text messages and called the phone twice from my desk.. No change.

did you recently get an aluminum or metal case?
also, what is your slot cycle index under modem settings in EPST?
Actually I have a custom case I made myself out of Lead.. it gives the phone a nice weight.. LOL.. No... No cases or anything.. However.. I know this should be irrelevant but..
I went on vacation for a week and got an extended battery the day I was leaving. The day I got back I flashed my phone FROM stock.
Had my issues at the office..
Flashed Back...
Still had issues...
Decided that.. MAYBE the extended battery being thicker and all is blocking signal... Swapped back to normal battery.. No good.
Went back to DCD312
Slot Cycle was 2... I just now changed it to 1 and it makes no difference.
did you happen to flash the stock RADIO with the stock ROM? flashing back the stock radio would most likely screw your device, but ive flashed the stock ROM several times with no problems.
try flashing to the current radio 3.39. heres just the radio, without the Sprint ROM. Radio 3.39
it can be tricky flashing it without a non-SDHC card. PM me if you dont have one.
after that, just flash a compatible ROM and it should fix everything.
Well the whole procedure was this:
1) Stock phone
2) Run unlocker
3) Flash 3.1.2 rom
4) Device locks at boot
5) Flash 3.39 Radio from SD Card
5a) Ran VZW Provider Cab.. from DCDs 3.1.2 page.
6) Had the reception issues mentioned.
7) Run Titan Relocker
8) Flash Stock VZW Rom that includes original Radio Version.
9) Reception Issues remain. (Lived with it for 2 days)
10) Repeat steps 1-5a above.
so I'm on 3.1.2 / 3.39 again right now.
I CAN flash the radio again... I guess... i already have it on a 512 SD card ready to flash.
Outside of DCD 3.1.2 What would you say is the most recommended / stable Rom / Radio Combo?

you need to flash the radio before you flash the ROM

Yeah I read that somewhere.. but the instructions I followed had me flash the rom, wait for the device to lock up on the verizon screen... then use PWR+CAM+RESET and flash the radio.
Even if it were in the wrong order, wouldnt flashing back to the VZW Stock Rom that includes the original stock radio still work as it did previously?
(maybe the answer is obviously not?.. Perhaps I sould reflash everything in a different order?)
So I flashed back to Stock again last night. Had to call and have data services and AKey reset... as usual.
I'm at the office now, and so far I had several people send me test SMS and only one of them took a while to show up. The others came in pretty fast.
Here are the differences between this time, and the last time I flashed back to stock.
1) I DID NOT install any applications at this point... I have ONLY Configured my Exchange Activesync Email.
2) I do not have the extended battery installed.
3) I reset before the verizon custom cabs installed from the stock ROM.
It's only been 10 minutes, but so far it looks promising... I'll update if that changes.
**UPDATE
Still can not hold a call... Text messages are now taking 10 - 20 minutes to arrive. My co-worker with the same phone still has no issues. Will stop by Verizon after work to have it swapped.
Stopped at Verizon.. Explained that the phone worked most places but just not at my office.. Explained that my co-worker has the same phone and does not have issues.
I expected to get a lot of crap.. but they were cool. They tested the phone, and claimed there was an issue. They didn't have any in stock, and have to mail me a new one.
SO... I havent seen many people complain about reception issues with thier radio upgrades... I'm wondering, should I upgrade the Roms and radio on the new one? Should I assume my reception issue was hardware and not caused by the software?
I'm still hoping someone with a lot of Rom experience can provide me with some recommendations.. I hear GPS Locks are flaky on DCD3.1.2..

[Fix] Audio Fix for Droid Eris

Hey everyone. im from the Hero CDMA forum. i have made audio fix patches for the hero that fixed the audio loss for 2.1 roms.
I recently ended development for the audio fixes because the issue began to rise in people with stock heros. but with that aside, i will create a fix for eris users if enough of you have the problem. i believe i have seen 7-8 people with it. anyways leave a comment telling me you have the issue, when it happened, what roms cause it, and what your software builds are, and what roms dont cause the issue. thanks for the cooperation and i hope i can help
Hey Avalaunchmods!
Thanks for the help with this! I am running the Aloysius (Coincidentally a Hero port):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663893
Audio usually cuts out for me when I am receiving a notification. It will kind of stutter/jitter and then continue to play.
one of my custom ringtones cut out on an incoming call once, but only once. so it may have only been a fluke. hadnt happened before or after.

I get the same using VanillaDroid ROM.
Thanks for the help!
I have had this problem pop up intermittently, but with increasing regularity (up to 2-3 times daily at its worst). The sound profile and volumes remain unchanged, but sometimes for no apparent reason, all audio drops. If I get a call, there is no ringer. If I get a notification, there is no audible alert. If I place/answer a call, the earpiece/speakerphone are silent, and the other party doesn't hear me. The rest of the phone's functions still work, and vibrate still works, but there is no audio from any apps or OS functions until I reboot the phone.
As for particular triggers, I haven't found any yet. I had been running ivan's 0.8t2, but have downgraded to his older 0.5.4 to see if the problem is fixed. So far it hasn't popped up, but it's only been a few days.
Thanks again for your willingness to help. I'll be sure to let you know if I see the problem resurface.
I know the fix is only possible in rooted phones, but I wanted to chime in and let you know that a lot of people on 2.1 leak v2 non-rooted are having this issue, so you can see some of the symptom reports in these threads on androidforums:

I have a non-rooted phone and I have the same issues...
If by audio problems, you mean no sound via ringtones, notification or voice over the ear piece, then I have experienced it with Ivan's 08T2. I've had it happen about three times. I did a reboot and it corrected it.
another Aloysius user here, and yep, audio problems out the wazoo. good thing I text mostly.
alright this got moved to general?
i though this would fit in development haha.
anyways ill get on a fix i believe. ill put it somewhere. not dev..
I've had audio issues, but the only thing that seems to cause it for me us getting a force close on any program that is currently playing audio, such as a music player or (worse) an alarm clock.
I've never had audio just randomly cut out on me, but it definitely all stops working after such a force close
I'm having the same audio issues. I'm currently on VanillaDroid v1.0. I experienced the issue on the eris21official-root ROM as well. It usually happens after I use the camera to snap a few pictures. If I don't use the camera, it is pretty stable. Let me know if you need any further information.

Avalaunchmods,
Since the Droid Eris kernel code was made available from HTC, have you been able to make any further progress fixing the audio loss bug for the Eris and Hero?
Right now the only solution we know of is to replace the phone. (Those of us who have gotten warranty replacements have not had the problem resurface.)
But even if the problem is related to certain hardware, it seems like there might be a way to fix the kernel's *reaction* to the problem, so that the phone doesn't become unusable.
Having the problem too.
Happened on Evil Eris and Ivans.
Any update on this? I am having the same issue on both CyanogenEris v1.1 and ELB-Cyanogen.
i am having this issue as well, running Ivans Eris_Official 1.0 Alpha. Experienced this issue on the 0.82t also. No audio from the phone's earpiece (speakerphone wont work either) when a call comes in, or if i try to call them back. have to reset the phone and then it works. I'm running setcpu at 710 now, but i wasn't on 0.82t so probably not the culprit.

Audio Problem
I've had this problem every since the 2.1 update. My wife and I both had it (we both have a Eris) on unrooted phones. I rooted to ErisLightning and still had it, switched to Tainted Vanilla, and now I'm on Lightning Bolt. My wife is on Droid Does Pink and we've had the problem with every single rom. Sometimes when we receive or make calls, the phone will go completely mute. We can't hear the other person and they can't hear us. We can't hear a ring tone if calling someone either.
I use Google Voice and I sometimes get ghost voicemails. It will save the entire length of the voicemail, but it will be completely mute. Even if I restart and re-open GV it's still mute.
For now, we're just rebooting whenever we have this problem. Seems to be the only way to get audio back.

[Q]Phone intermittently stops receiving texts and phone calls

Hi guys. I'm having a real hard time with my phone right now and I hope someone can help me.
First of all, my Note is still on ICS running the last stable build of CM9 (CM 9.1.0 to be exact) without any other kernel or radio modifications. I just performed a clean install of this the other day also. The problem I'm having is that the phone will literally be sitting next to me connected to my home wi-fi and it will fail to receive texts and phone calls. What I mean by that is, my girlfriend will be trying to text me but nothing will come through on my phone for up to an hour. Then at some random time, all the so-called pending SMS will finally display on my phone all with the same time-stamp. Similarly, if someone tries to call me, I will have no notification of this until way after the fact when the voicemail symbol appears (that's IF a message was left).
Now, to me, this seams to be happening at completely random times and I have not been able to pinpoint what's causing it. Before, I used to think it happened after a prolonged time of having the phone on silent and non-use. But just last night the problem happened again when this was not a factor.
A few other notes:
Only seems to happen at home where I am connected to wi-fi. And frankly, I don't travel enough to test my phone anywhere else. While at home my signal strength on AT&T fluctuated between 0-1 bar up to 3 bars. Kinda strange, I know.
Before switching to the CM 9.1.0 rom, I was using CM9-Kang h0tsauce "9" 20120817 *reborn* for quite some time. I experienced the problem with that rom as well but it didn't seem to happen as much.
Rebooting the phone seems to help. When I do this, it seems to push everything through and allows me to be able to receive new messages instantly. Obviously, though, this is not a good work-around since I have no idea when the problem will show up.
So.... anyone know what's going on here? Hardware/software/network problem? I've done some searching but couldn't really find this issue discussed anywhere else. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Now, to me, this seams to be happening at completely random times and I have not been able to pinpoint what's causing it. Before, I used to think it happened after a prolonged time of having the phone on silent and non-use. But just last night the problem happened again when this was not a factor.
A few other notes:
Only seems to happen at home where I am connected to wi-fi. And frankly, I don't travel enough to test my phone anywhere else. While at home my signal strength on AT&T fluctuated between 0-1 bar up to 3 bars. Kinda strange, I know.
Before switching to the CM 9.1.0 rom, I was using CM9-Kang h0tsauce "9" 20120817 *reborn* for quite some time. I experienced the problem with that rom as well but it didn't seem to happen as much.
Rebooting the phone seems to help. When I do this, it seems to push everything through and allows me to be able to receive new messages instantly. Obviously, though, this is not a good work-around since I have no idea when the problem will show up.
So.... anyone know what's going on here? Hardware/software/network problem? I've done some searching but couldn't really find this issue discussed anywhere else. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been having the same problems as you on a Blackstar X and Flapjaxxx's ICS build 12. I talked to AT&T a couple of times and they reconnected me to the network which has helped a little, but I still get missed texts and calls, but not as often. I have no idea how to fix the issue. Hopefully, somebody out there does.
Sounds like to me that you have a very bad signal. In case you didn't know, texts go through the phone signal and not wifi. The wifi connection is just a coincidence since you never leave home and are always connected to wifi. Going somewhere with a better signal would help clarify this.
There are apps on Google Play that restore your network when it goes down. Possibly they may help you.

Thank you for your answer.
I will try one of these apps that restores the network. Fingers crossed!
Also ..
AOSP ICS builds are known to fail phone operation...
Not always, and not on every device.
I pulled CM9 yesterday for this very reason...
And it appears you are having the issue as Well...
Revert to a non AOSP build to test..
Mine is working fine now on UCLF6 ICS .......g

I started having this issue with my One X. Git a replacement and had the same issue. Now on my note I have the same issue. It's only at home though and I'm on wifi. Started on BlackStar X now I'm on FJ AOSPxxx JB. Seems to happen more. Think I might go back to BlackStar. Didn't happen as much

Also ..if going back to blackstar ...
The older version is UCLF6 ...And the newer version comes from the N7005 device base .....
Not that it makes much difference, but the older version will likely give you the same results as FJ's UCLF6 builds.....
You may want to try the newer version first ...g
Edit: the older builds allow the use of FJ's 3.0.2 kernels....the newer base will not.
