Hi guys,
I've got an issue with my HTC S740 with the GPS
I've got Garmin Mobile XT and my GPS never find any satellite.
On the GPS settings, the GPS is setup on COM4:COM4: (the other choice is COM7:COM7, but Garmin is always setting automatically on COM4)
Even with GoogleMaps, the GPS is not recognize (I mean not signal)
As I cannot change or find the port used by the GPS, do you have any idea to make the GPS running onb my dear Rose ?
Thx
Murray Bozinski
are you in a building?
i had the same problem but after 2 resets it started working again... dont know what caused it but i think it might be 2 apps using the same port?

I already try to reset my Rose, but no success... I also try the "Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings.cab" but the program said "You've got insufficient privileges" when I click on apply...
That's so strange
Ok, I'm getting crazy now...
Here is the summarize of the diffrent tests i've done :
ROM version : 1.14.406.0 (10/27/08)
Inital Config :
Launching QuickGPS
Tried to use the GPS with GoogleMaps and Garmin Mobile XTwith default config
After 45mn outside, no signal
GPSID Settings :
After installing GPS Intermediary Driver (GPSID), i tried to change the baud rate to 4800 (was set to 300) or change the tick box "Manage Automatically". When I click on "Done", I get an error message "An error occured in Settings.exe...". On "Details", i get an NullReferenceException in DoneButtonClicked() function.
And when I try to change the hardware port, i've got another error message : "You have insufficient permissions to map the hardware port"
GPS Test :
Ok, i don't give up, I tried GPS Test 1.04
Hard reset and installed GPS Test
So it found the Port4 as a GPS receiver, but it couldn't get any signal
The first time, it found one or two satellites but the color remains yellow, "GPS Starting up", with "Fix 1D"
So still no signal in GoogleMaps, neither Garmin
Please, I really need some help !!!
Any idea are welcome
IMHO it definitely looks as an hardware failure. Static and under open sky it shouldn't take more than 75 seconds to localize (cold start, without A-GPS). Normally if I start GPS within Google Maps it takes less than 10 seconds to get position.
At least you probably won sad prize having first Rose with HW failure (as far as I know from all s740 related forums which I read).
I had the same issue. Tried GPSID, Google Maps (0 satellites), GPS Test (stucked on COM4)... Nothing worked. (I was always trying it outside for a few minutes with QuickGPS updated. My other phone got the fix within 15 seconds)
Today I master reset the phone, set date, updated QuickGPS, installed Google Maps... Fix within 15-20 seconds.

What's finally bad news (sorry Murray ). For me that means - GPS radio in Rose (at least using default ROM) may freeze and stop responding to OS for unknown reason.
In the best case (a bit funny), it's sensitive to proper time/date/timezone setting...
Guys, I decide to go back to the shop where I bought my phone and they said this is the second Rose they received with the same issue.
So they give my money back and I finally deceided to buy a Palm Treo Pro.
I'm a bit disapointed with HTC (my previous S730 was really bad quality)
Now I'm very happy with the TP
Thanx for your support

i think that this is software problem
my gps disappears too when I change my ROM to Orange Orange_UK_1.17.61.2
previous version works fine with GPS
and there is no any GPS software (like GoogleMaps) in Orange ROM.
So if your ROM is Orange too - this may be ROM bug
I try to change ROM to stock 1.14.707.0 soon
hi all, i had the same gps issue and could not get a fix using googlemaps and some other software amazegps, . i tried several hard resets but nothing seemed to work.
after a few days of investigation i bought copilot 7 from a guy on ebay, hard reset again.... then booted her up. after 5 minutes i had a fix and was being directed down my road.. written on my favourite htc phone so far... s740
Never get gps
My Rose buy in Portugal in November has the same problem. Never get any signal sattelites(fix).
Rose version: 1.14.401.1
Rom data: 10/06/08
Radio version: 0.24.30.24
My first ROM (beta 1.07) was russian with Google-maps pre-installed. GPS works fine
then I try to change it to Orange UK 1.17 ROM. There is no built-in GoogleMaps and GPS doesn't work
I try to use stock english ROM 1.14. In this case there is no GoogleMaps and GPS doesn't work too
Yesterday I found russian rom 1.14 and try it. This ROM has pre-installed version of GoogleMaps and.. GPS works!
So in my opinion there is no GPS driver or something else in some ROMs. But if ROM must have pre-installed GPS software then GPS driver of course exists and everything works fine
I can take link to russian 1.14 ROM to compare it with english 1.14 ROM
Looks like mine works too after a Hard Reset with Google Maps, GPSTest and gpsVP. Interesting...
i work with Garmin XT and Mc Guider and no problem.
my settings is
Port: COM 4
Baud : 19200
GPS on my Rose worked fine after hard reset but I didnt use the phone for few weeks, installed some new software and then it stopped working once again.
Fortunately I was able to fix that just changing the port number and restarting.

Awaiting Better GPS Accuracy
My question to HTC Customer Service:
GPS radio in my HTC s740 freezes and stop responding during undefined time. For example, when I use Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile 5.00.20w GPS works, but suddently it writes: "Awaiting Better GPS Accuracy" and stop responding during undefined time. Google Maps have this problem too. Hardware reset cannot help, may be it's ROM software error? My HTC Rose have СЕ OS 5.2.20279 (Build 20279.1.3.4), Radio Version 12.23.30.06H_0.24.30.24. Rom version: 1.14.402.0 (25.10.2008). Send me please ROM upgrade or specify another method to resolve this problem. Thanks!

My answer to HTC Customer Service:
The same problem with GPS also have some my friends (s740 model seller: Latvia Mobile Telephone, www.lmt.lv ). You can find the same problem at internet forums, for example here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465564 May be it's a global problem for all s740 phones (hardware or software)? I know, that new models of HTC Rose have new ROM, for example: RUU_Rose_HTC_RUS_1.14.411.1_Radio_sign_12.23.30.06_0.24.30.24_CRC_Ship Can you help me more seriously? It seems that we haven't a HTC local customer in Latvia. Thanks for answer.

Do another hard reset. It worked for me. After the reset, I've updated QuickGPS, installed Sygic and it worked.

Hard reset do not resolve this problem. It's ROM or hardware internal bug (see my post to HTC support). Try to change GPS COM port to COM8: (for exampe, via Resco Registry):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
\Multiplexer
DriverInterface = COM8:
5 days it works ОК on my HTC Rose, may be it's a slolution of GPS freezing problem? Please write here if this solution helps you...
P.S. May be somebody says about this actual problem to HTC support?

Hi guys,
I have just bought an o2 xda ii and am having serious problems
was trying to establish a bluetooth connection with nokia 6600 and it just froze displaying the today screen
now xda hangs after switching on and nothing works only the bluetooth light keeps on flashing
cant try anything as it doesnt function at all.
Can anybody help
Isn't There anyone who can help me...??????
Isn't There anyone who can help me...?????? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
when you mean turn on do you talk about turn on as in turn on the top power connector
or a softreset ?
if you mean top power connector then that dont reset the pda you need to do a softreset
if you did mean a softreset then i dont know any other way then a hardreset which of cause delete all your data
Inderts the stylus in the reset hole, if that doesnt work then as the man said you will need to do a hard reset and all data will be lost, hard reset is done by pressing power while inserting stylus in reset hole.
Hi
Thanks for yr reply
I have aslo tried a hard reset but no luck
The device switches on and freezes on the blue O2 screen or sometimes goes thru the setup procedure & freezes at the today screen
Tried it a couple of times
Is there any other way please let me know.
Thanx again :? :? :?
Which ROM do you use? You can try to flash your ROM. There are plenty of treads on this forum on how to do this. Make sure you don't use a USB hub when connected to flash you're ROM. Your MDA II must be connected to a normal USB connection (I learned it the hard way....)
Wouter
Hi
Sorry for the late reply as i was out of town
Dunno exactly how to identify the rom version but when switched on it shows
R 1.05.14
G 1337.14
D 1.03.00 USA
Can u please suggest what to do
Thanx
You can see which ROM version you have by going to:
Settings, System tab and then Device information.
Mine says:
ROM version 1.60.00WWE
ROM date: 12/03/03
Radio version: 1.06.01
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.60.06
So I guess you can do a ROM upgrade. To find out how to do it, just do a search on this forum for ROM upgrade and you'll find detailed describcions on how to do it. Make sure that your device is not connected via a USB hub otherwise you can have some trouble getting it done.
Wouter
Thanx for the prompt reply but the problem is that the device starts goes on thru the new device setup programme & hangs nuthing beyong that
So am unable to go to the system settings
Is there any other way i can see the rom version...
Well the colors at the beginning tell you which ROM you have (but are only very short on the screen so hard to read) but you can defenitely upgrade.

No Bluettoth Hardware Installed Error Msg
Hey, this sounds like the same problem I have too! I have just posted a new subject in the "Using It" section of this Forum. Does your device also suffer from the following i.e. when the software ha loaded and you hit the bluetooth icon, does this error message come up "There is No Bluetooth Hardware Installed on this Device"? Pls read my post below.
"I have an XDA II, bought from the UK. I live in E. Africa so sending it back is a hassle. EVer since I bought it, although it was OK for a few days, a msg then came up saying "There is no bluetooth hardware installed on this device". This means I cannot put b/t on or off. Also, it affects the performance of the XDA II as it crashes frequently and loses ActiveSync connections frequently. The odd thing is that SOMETIMES, after a hard reset, it's OK again. But then when I do a subsequent hard or even soft reset the same problem occurs! So it DOES work. But not consistently. I conttacted O2 by email & tel. They were semi-helpful. I returned the XDA II to the O2 repair centre in London by courier (expensive). It came back, apparently repaired, but they had addressed the wrong thing and the problem still persists! I am loathe to sending it back without trying something for it - if you have any suggestions. Perhaps I can try a Rom Update or something to see if it sorts it. Even O2 are baffled, but I do not have the privilege of sending it off again because of where I live. Any suggestions or advice please? Many thanks. "
'Frozen' O2 screen with bluetooth light flashing
Hi to all,
I 've been having similar problems since I got my unit last November. You may be able to relate with my problems.. screen won't respond to any taps.. when you send SMS, the 'Send' button freezes... tried soft resetting, sometimes lucky, gets back to normal... at worst, does a hard reset...
after a few months of no reliable answer from local and foreign XDA help.. i'm used to either removing my battery/sim.. wait for awhile.. try to find a place where there's better network signal.. then, puts back the SIM and battery.. many times a get lucky by doing this... but there are also times that I had to do hard reset.. like two hours ago..
Hopefully, some help will come ...
For those who have yet to develop a routine to address similar problem, you may try mine...
Helpless xda II fanatic(???)
Archel Angeles
I have similar experience too. I got my XDAII last November, it runs smoth without a single hang for the first month until one day in January, while using it reboot by itself, after that day the device will just reboot anytime anywhere!
Thinking that this might be caused by some installed softwae, I hard reset my device. After the initial setup then it hang while running the auto installation from the extended rom saying that some file is missing. I hard reset again and it still hang while running the auto installation but saying another file is missing. On the day alone, I hard reset my device for more than 10 times! Each time it will either hang on the O2 startup screen or during the auto installation. Until finally one time manage to pass through the initial setup and auto installation.
On the second day, I quickly bring my set to the service centre for repair, while I describe and showing the faulty set to the service officer, the device self reboot for another couple of times.
I took back my set two days later, the service officer told me they cannot find the fault of this so they re-flash the rom for me, and they have tested it with internet browsing, mms, sms etc without any problem.
The 'repaired' set works fine for another one month until couple of week ago it start to hang during some incoming calls. When call was received, I press the answer key to answer the phone, the device would just hang with the ballon still showing on the screen, i'm not able to answer the call at all.
Last Friday, I finally hard reset the device again and re-install some my software applicaton and games. Second day morning while I was waiting for my friend, I start to attach photo to my contact, just when I attached the first photo and click on the save, the device hang! I press the soft reset button and the screen goes off without rebooting. I press the reset button again but the screen just won't come back. I even took out the battery and put in my backup battery, still the screen refuse to come back! The screen only come back when I performed a hard reset.
Today i found another problem with the device, the free memory is getting lesser and lesser by itself! Just before I type this reply, I soft reset my device and leave my device on the momory status screen, the allocated momory for the program showing 63.02Mb, in used 16.96MB and the Free momory 46.06MB. Now the in use memory increases to 30.75MB while the Free memory drops to 32.27MB!! I did not run anything in the background, I did not even tough my device!!
Anybody here can help save my device?
I have the same problem now. It is really a nightmare for all of us!!!
Exactly
Have a very similar problems 4 days in the row. Self-Blackhangs without any knowing reason. Impossible to use device longer then 10 min. HELP!!!
P.S. Some days before I try to uninstall Intellisync, wich I try, but does not use for a long time. Uninstall was unsuccessful cause .exe was "in use". There problems begins. May be. After one of hard-resets I remove .exe manually and then uninstall prog, but problems persists.
Hi guys, Fortunatly I do not have the same problems with my XDA II but I was thinking maby it is a type of software that has been installed on the device, I have noticed that some apps can cuase VERY strange things to happen (Even some THEMES!!!).... LOOK out for this..
Maybe you could try and run the XDA II after doing a hard reset as bare as possible... As in not installing any other themes or thirdparty software for a day or two and see if the device still gives your any problems... Will be interesting to find out.. I have had resets on my XDA II from using some themes avalible from the O2 website (that users have made not O2, but still) and since using the default theme I have not had a crash or a reboot since... (THIS TOOK ME FORVER to find out)... but might be worth a try..
Keep us all informed how you go with things.. Hopfully its just a pice of software or somthing simple like that...
GOOD LUCK ALL!!!
So, guys, I think that there is a HW problem. MDA freezing during initial install or during HardReset before install. Maybe "motherboard" is microbroken or so on.
Week ago I return my MDAII to T-Mobile and they will repair it to some way. I will report this way to you all as soon as possible. Let we see.

Hi all,
I have the following devis info of mine:
ROM version 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.101
This Rom works great, just search for it and upgrade!!
Wish you all luck!!!
sounds a lot like the problem I'm having.
Can any of you guys install a new rom at all? mine freezes up and activesync disconnects the second it does... So I guess when flashing your rom and having it freeze up on you, you'd be even further from a solution... thoughts pls
I fixed it guys...
seems a corrupted rom was the problem hitting bootloader mode (power + action + stylus) and installing a new rom fixed my problems
let me know how it works out for you guys
1. A2DP icon missing
I want to re-direct skype audio to my bluetooth earphone. How can I do that?
2. I can not login MSN/windows alive though skype can login without any problem via WIFI. Seems MSN try to get online through different connection setting? how/where can I define the connection setting for MSN?
3. Phone module die without any sign. All incoming call is diverted to voice mail automatically until soft reset. As if the phone is switched off.
(I am not sure whether this is WM6 related)
this means you might miss important call without any sign!
Does anybody have same experience?
1) I dont think that was ever a default thing? Did you install something and forget? have a cooked rom? There are A2DP solutions in this forum, "Use the Search luke."
2) No, its shagged. I installed the windowslive50.cab file I had on universal, it works now.
3) No idea, mine works fine. Hard reset? Check your sim?
I can get online with my WLM but it does sometimes take a resync of the whole account to do it.
Skype did say (unless changed recently) that they were still working on transferring calls to bt headsets. Which means, currently, that it does not work through anything other than headphones and the mic on the phone.
Comm Manager
Hello,
It is possible to change the green color from the Comm Manager ?
Thanks
French Keyboard
I have upgraded my french Advantage and all is OK apart for keyboard layout. On my old Universal (also french keyboard) I had changes the registry for hklm/software/oem/qwerty layout to 1040C (hex) and it had worked.
On the advantage this does not seem to change anything, any ideas?
Also has anyone got integrated VoIP working? I have used a CAB file from Universal to activate it and SIP Config Tool to do the set up but it does not allow me to select VoIP from today menu.
Anyone got this set up and working? Integrated VoIP is the reason I upgraded to WM6!
Messenger Etc....
Live Messenger stops working correctly after a soft reset. Initially it works fine. Contacts show as offline, although they are still able to contact me and vice-versa.
As far as I can ascertain push email still functions correctly.
I cannot confirm whether this is related to MS's side (rather than the program) as I haven't had chance to check if anyone else experiences the same problems.
Have tried installing the separate CAB file but I am subsequently told that I do not have the necessary permissions (or something like that).
This comes from tests on a T-Mobile branded Ameo (not the brand new one I'm selling, if anyone decides to cross-check!)
I haven't come across any other problems. Seems a bit less laggy than the original T-Mobile ROM, loads up web pages slightly faster too it seems.
No other issues as yet.
Ive had no probs at all since installing the messenger cab.
Still using it now.
Do we know what version of WLM is on this new ROM?
I've pulled \windows\wlmmessenger.exe to desktop and looked at the Version tab...10.6.28.2700 is what comes out.
Pyrofer - can you do the same on your cabbed version and let me know what the version number says? Not always an accurate guide but worth a shot. Also the digital signature is 3rd May 07.
Cheers
Ant
EDIT - never mind, just seen ur post in general Athena tab...10.6.0026.1400
I wonder what is different? If anything? I also wonder whether this is actually a final release of the ROM that's just been leaked early, as WLM is a pretty central component to web using Athena owners (myself very much included) and for it not to work after a soft reset...hmm.
Hi royalmail,
I've got exactly the same problem you mention about the phone.
I was unable to answer calls.
So I belive you've use the second file to upgrade to WM6 (HTC001 ... with ipl...).
You have to go back to WM5 WWE using the last ROM posted in the Athena upload folder in the XDA FTP. After flashing your Athena to WM5, Use the first ROM posted (the one with a readme file included).
And voila! No problem at all since I've done it this morning, everything works fine!
Hope this helps!
Hi Thibale,
I flashed with the t-mobile version. the phone dead only once so far, though i am not sure it's caused by WM6. Anyway, thx for sharing your info.

Hi Guys just wondering if this is common problem for the S740 ?
I was using my phone today with Mcguider I saw some bars pop up trying to get lock then since that it says hardware error and freezes the phone if I attempt to go into mcguider and the same occurs when I try google mpas with GPS.
Just wondering if this is a freak hardware failure or common fault so time to get a different model like HTC HD2.
thanks in advance.
Hy!
No its not an common problem......the GPS from Rose works still great for me...i´m using Sygic and Google Maps and all works perfect.....I think you should try to Reset your Phone....maybe an Software-Problem....or if you have to much money buy a new Phone... ;-)
I had problems like this in the past.
Had the same error this weekend and I think it has something to do with the QuickGPS data. I deleted the xtra.bin in the \Windows folder rebooted (did not redownload quickGPS data) and waited for a regular fix and it didn't hang on using GPS after that.
When I had this error in the past (2-3 times a year) it just worked again after a while without me doing anything. Thats why i suspect the QuickGPS data as it times out after 7 days.
I have the same issue,
Whenever trying to use a gps program the phone locks up. I tried reflashing the WM6.5 rom again but still no luck. But i'll try this quickgps thing.
Anyone know where I can find the gps settings? (it's com4 ?)
Thanks.
after removing the quickgps it no longer locks up the phone.
Thanks!
Garmin XT & Google Maps & Bing all work with the gps now!

Thanks I did reset the phone and now it works once again so I guess it is a common issue.
Nope I don't have too much money I just want a phone that works perfectly for all my gadget needs and up until this point it has been perfect shame they are not making a new model it appears that the candybar phone is getting less and less popular
I am having the same problem, i tried installing Sygic mobilemaps 10 and when i come to the language selection screens the phone wont respond to anything, it will launch the gps quickfix application in the back so i think it has something to do with that. resetting the phone does nothing. problem remains when i install sygic again. Anyone an idea ?
Hy!
Okay i don´t know about QuickGPS....i make the Update via Wlan manual and its disabled to download automatic when Navi runs and i had never probs with Navi on this phone...for me its the best phone i ever had...
...and it sucks that HTC doesn´t make a new Version of this phone....
to Renever:
Sygic MobileMaps10 works with Rose? Look here...
true its an great phone..... i will try old mcguider 2009 on it again.
I use the 2009 Version and it works Great for me on Frauhottelmanns 6.5er V1.00 there is no need to Upgrade to sygic v10...... "Never touch a running System"....;-)
well i received a message that my trial has expired on mcguider 2009 .... so thats why i figured lets try the new version....
My hd2 lately has been acting rather strange. Since daylight savings my phone has been skipping hours seemingly at random, If I change the time manually about half an hour later it will have changed the time by itself to a few hours in advance.
I've tried updating the time through the internet but i've had no luck so far.
I'm currently running chuckys GTX but that isn't the problem because yesterday I had the same problem with Energy rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
HD2 daylight saving time problem
I also have this problem since daylight saving.
The phone random changes time, now its 2 hours ahead of normal time.
I also tried everey setting I can find.
Please help me (us)!
I am also having this problem, I turned off internet time sync, but it is still happening, I'll post here if i find a fix!!
I am having same problem as well. Called helpdesk HTC. For them its new. They want to know which provider i use. (Vodafone NL) They want to know if the problem also happens with other providers?
I also installed a stock rom 3.14 and nothing else and still have the problem of random changing the time +1 hour.
wow that is weird... were do you guys live, I live in the US and were changing our time next weekend hopefully this doesnt happen to my phone too
hi.
i have the same problem.
this is rom or radio issue?
The same problem here. If i change time manually, leo will change it by itself in couple of hours. Even if time is changed manually, message will come with a bad time indicator. Automatic time synchronization doesnt help. :\
Stock ROM
This could be your solution (it was mine)
Dutty in his ROM thread posted a cab that would solve that problem. I haven't tried it since I don't have that problem.
YMMV.
see the thread inthe general section for a possible fix....
worked for me (reg edits).....

I just preformed a hard reset. For me it was no problem, the phone was slow for weeks and only tomtom navigator is important to me.
So my problem is solved now thanks to the hard reset.
For the other people, good luck with this problem...I have Vodafone NL btw
Greets
Sorry..problem is back..HARD RESET DOES NOT WORK!
big problem with dst
I think this i s a big problem and maybe only patch can fix this.
I have tried to re-install windows (flash ROM) with the latrest original ROM from HTC
I have tried to get registry backup from another HD2 which doesn't have this problem. it doesn't work.
I have tried to to flash without having SIM card in it and doesn't apply any wireless connection. Windows doesn't know my location and time. Then i connect to GSM operator in Bulgaria and the clock turns one hour ahead then i turn on my Google location services and my phone turns 2 hours ahead.
I'm really pissed off and i think this will be a big trouble... even flashing ROM doen't help, then what...???
ofcourse you can stop all your connections and there will be no problem if you set the correct date, time and location, but this means that i'll never use wheather...
please help. maybe it is time to write to htc support i don't know...
btw i have also android on my hd2 and there is no problem with time.... i really have no ideia...
I also have the same problem my GSM provider is MTel BG
I'm with Globul
Time Problem
I've got the same problem.
@ "drei" Provider in Austria.
-Elegancia V2 and
-actual LEOpard ROM
Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
all tips since now tested (REG-hack, all time sync options off, reset and more...) without success
Time changes +1h as its wants to. Also @ SMS or call.
the crazy thing is that i changed the Time Zone from "GMT+1 Prague, Budapest" to "GMT+1 Berlin, Rome" and after the first +1h count, time Zone is "GMT+1 Prague, Budapest" again..!!??
please help! im going crazy about this
In Bulgaria i have the same problem. It changes from +2 Minsk to +2 Sofia, Talin...
I think we must write to HTC support and then waiting for patch...
But the most strange thing i found is how this can happen when you falshed your HD2 with the latest ROM from HTC... This means that the configuration is not in Windows Mobile, maybe in something like BIOS or i don't know... Mayby we have bad servers in registry which gave us these troubles and we can;t find them. This trouble doen't appear with Android in same network with same hardware. Maybe Android has another servers for time synchronization...
Problem for me has been solved by duttys wintertimefix.cab
It's in his Rom thread under the cab repository link.
I had the same problem (Sweden Telia) but Dutty's fix seems to do it's work!
Impressive Dutty!!
To bad that ignorant HTC doesn't want to aknowledge problems with their phones, not the first.... An iphone4 seems more and more appealing
Thanks again Dutty!

Bought the Atrix last week and unlocked it with the help from the webshop as I'm in Belgium, no problem connecting to Mobistar wich is my provider and data connections works great. But I'm having real problems making phonecalls and recieving calls; the phone reboots or the dialer hangs and it looks like a call is going on when it's not, phone still works but flashing green in the notification area and it's impossible to hang up, need to reboot. This happens like 80% of the times I try to make a call. After a reboot it works fine to call and hang-up one or two times then it crashes again.
Also noted that my Dialer often runs twice in the Running Apps manager - is that normal??
Anyone having the same issues or know what to do, reinstall the Dialer app --> if so how? Is it a hardware or software problem??
A little more info: when I recieved the device it was in a sealed Atrix box but the phone was used and already had an active Blur account so I had to do a hard reset to be able to use it... --> was it returned 'cause of faulty dialer or radio... then resold to me... not nice if so...?
Tried to install dialer one app but it seems only to skin the original dialer...
It's a greate device and works great othervice but in the end it's still a phone... which should be able to make calls...
Help
Ive got an unlocked Atrix too and now in Germany, I have the same problem. Motorola should definitely look into this.
Here's a quick fix for it thou, (not permanent)....
1. type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
2. Chose Phone Information
3. Set preferred network to GSM only
Viola...its fixed
problem with this fix is that you wont be able to use your 3G network but the dialer should be working.
Thanks Nazrin (for both replies) !!
It sure did the trick, though no data access is not acceptable on a phone like this!!!
So this meens that all unlocked Atrix's in european GSM networks have the same problems? Haven't seen any others reporting this and there are quite a few in use I've noted in other forums.
Was thinking of trying to have mine replaced (which probably won't be easy and take long time...) but that won't change anything then??
We have to wait for the european version of Atrix rom I suppose??
Any others with the same problem??
No problems buddy, glad it worked..and i have to agree with you..this bug is unacceptable...it seems the phone just ***** up everytime it calls on utms (3g)...im sure there is more people with this problem...
Sent from my Supercharged MOTO ATX
I have the same problem
Hi guys, I have the same exact issue (I'm also in Belgium, on Mobistar). I'm somewhat glad to hear this is a generic issue, and not an issue with my specific phone. At least I can be fairly certain replacing it won't solve this issue then.
I made another post here before I came across this one, has a bit more info: we are seeing modem panics when using 3G + outbound call. I've also contacted Motorola support to no avail:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028771
You can also read there that I tried another operator, and it did not crash with that one (although 3G did disconnect).
Hopefully Motorola/Qualcomm will start to notice the bug when they release the phone globally, and release a fix.
Either that, or we all have phones from the same bad batch
This bug is really bad for users in europe....cant call on utms...
I really hope motorola takes this seriously cos if there's no fix via software updates then its moto gone for me
Guys, you are all on unlocked att atrix right? I do believe it is a simmiliar software glitch/bug/lock that you have porblems using it on non att networks as the problem with the wifi that it stops working for some of us (check the thread about it for more info). As all suggests there it is a config file problem, unfortunately i or anyone else doesnt know yet which one....
Yeah maybe..but funny thing is wifi is working without a glitch...will have to read that forum later...
Workaround options
So, since it seems we're not gonna get this fixed until there is a new radio/modem firmware available for flashing (and even then..), I've been looking for a workaround.
Found two potential applications that could do what we need: disable data completely when making an outgoing call, or switch to 2G:
- Sanity
- Superpower
I've tested the first (Sanity), and it does not work (fully). It does seem to disable data, but the bands aren't switched so our problem remains. I've contacted the developer here: http://tagliamonte.net/forum/thread-10.html. He seems to be very responsive, so given enough interest, I think he would add the functionality we require.
The second app I only came across today, and have not tried yet. It does not have a function to specifically switch bands when making an outgoing call, but it has a trigger for "Foreground application", so if we make that the dialer/contacts... Question remains if it will be able to do the switch.
Hopefully one of these will lead to a decent workaround for all of us!
Well done unknown...i will try these apps... but the real fix should be from moto...im always reading the net for anything that can solve this issue
reboots on incoming and outgoing calls
Same in Russia on Megafon network, I had to enter 4636 menu and use it as "GSM only". Even this does not fully solve problems, e.g. call forwarding does not show the new destination number while it does actually make the phone divert calls correctly.
My hope is that UK release will trigger new software version which will address this issue. ANYONE has news on this?
FIXED!
YAY! I just fixed this issue
What you need to do: flash the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052914
You have to use RSD-lite, since sbf_flash will not work. Flash the 1.87 baseband and enjoy working HSPA (including unlocked upload speeds ^^)
Now I can finally appreciate this phone fully
Enjoy guys!

Worked for me as well..brilliant!!!! its working here in germany.....but I wonder the telstra radio will work in my home country with frequencies of 900/2100
Motorola Atrix restart when placing a call
I just got the same exact Dialer problem now, but the flash radio file is gone* in the pointed post, and I don't know exactly how to flash the radio.
Someone can help me? I need the radio file and step by step instruction to how to flash it.
BTW my Atrix 4G works perfect for a year till this Dialer problem started past week.
I also use my phone as a full Linux computer when docked, and it works very fine.
Thanks
* The file was on megaupload, that was closed
No answer
Why I never got an answer of any post I did?
There is something wrong?

[Sorry for problem in speaking]
i had that problem too , im using CM13 with Marshmallow Version of android
So . the easy way is :
***** search "Default" in settings. then choose " System dialer" as Default ! just it ****
but if there is no search bar in your setting . try this patch:
Android 6 : Setting/Apps then click the setting icon on top(may be diffrent in your case) , then Click on "default ...." then choose " System dialer" as Default! :fingers-crossed:
but in some cases that it didnt work . they have to reinstall gapps .
Or in official Roms , reset will be usefull
any quastions?
