Have you use the search button in this forum?
What ROM (window mobile 6.5) that you use?
Have you use the Update (16 May 09) TJs ROMs for Atom Exec (WM 6.5 21231) ?
yeah, it was that rom. i got it from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446730
i upgrade it to 6.5 2 days ago.
the window mobile is working fine, i can access the application and stuff, it keeps getting signal and losing signal, sometime it has full bars but no tones. but it works fine on other phones.
it was 6.1 before i upgrade it. it was working fine for a couple of weeks, then that started happening, i don't know what i did. so i thought upgrading it to 6.5 would fix it. it's still the same situation.
If it is not related to ROMs as u say that the problem was in the old ROM and now the same in new so it is most definitely a Hardware problem (your radio is the problem), no help in this regard sorry.
what do you mean the radio is the problem?

Have you try to downgrade using the XDA Atom Exec Official Windows Mobile 5 ROM?
Please let us know what'll happen if your atom exec using the original/shipped ROM (WM5)...

radio problem is hardware problem. it cannot solved with ROM flashing. you have to replace your radio module (if there's any)
i suggest you try to upgrade your radio before replacement.

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,
Hopefully someone can help.
I got a XDA cheap and thought i'd have a tinker with it.
Now as far as i'm led to beleive it was working perfectly before i got it. The guy had been using it as his phone but wanted something smaller.
Now to the present time.
I have installed my O2(UK) PAYG sim card into it but i just can't get a signal from the machine whatsoever.
Now i contacted O2 to check if the handset was barred from the network and they have said that it wasn't.
I downloaded the latest RRU and radio stack updates from the O2 website and have installed them both successfully.
I have loaded the machine into the bootloader mode and it states that GSM is OK.
When i go into the options of the phone i can see the phone number but i can't do anything else. If i leave the phone turned for a while i eventually get a Sim card is invalid. Please contact your service provider for assistance.
Another thing i noticed was that the model numebr on the back of the XDA is NOT the same as the one given by the software. The IMEI numbers do match however.
Any one have any ideas??
Just to let you know i updated the radio stack to 6.24 and its now working perfectly.
Yee haa.
Mine does not get a signal
Is there anychance of posting the update you found
Pocket PC Wallaby PW10A1
ARM SA1110
O2 NETWORK
Still no signal at all on mine any help would be nice UK O2 network thanks in advance
Don´t know if it is the same.....
http://www.romkitchen.de/tools/RSU_V6.24.20_PPC.zip
But ensure you have a PW10B device (Check the Rearsticker.......)

Hi,
I am with Vodafone New Zealand and it's weird enough that I can't receive any phone calls when I upgraded my radio rom to 1.43 or later.
I have tried 1.43, 1.46, 1.47, 1.48.... they just don't work.
However 1.40 and 1.41 work fine. I have been wanting to go for later versions since I need stronger signal.
I don't think I missed any steps during the radio upgrade process as I was following through the right instruction and I could flash it successfully with 1.40 and 1.41.
Are they anybody having the similar problem? Will there be any fixes or workaround to get the later vesions of radio to work?
I have tried this on the official Dopod WM6 and some Black roms with SPL2.10.
Please help!! Cheers =)
define "don't work"
Sorry about being not very clear. I was trying to say that I cannot not receive any incoming calls. And also the caller cannot hear the outgoing signal tones when ringing my phone The calls are just not coming through...
I may have run into a similar problem...
Using anything higher than 1.43, I wasn't getting all of my incoming calls. It may have to do with calls being denied when I have an active data connection... Either way, 1.47 and 1.48 both seem to present this problem for me.
I encountered that same problem in China mainland,
The solution is to update a new SIM from your operator,
Maybe you will spend a little money on it,
Most of people resolved that problem with this solution,
I will update my SIM at the price of RMB30,
But now I think no need because I am using 1.41,
It works well in China mainland,
Thers is no 3G sinagal in China mainland,
I think if you are in 2G, 2.5G or 2.75G network you can't tell the difference between radio 1.41, 1.43, 1.47 and 1.48.
that's all.

Fantastic! Upgrading the sim card to the latest one solved my problem! Thanks for all you advices! Hope others can solve their issues! I am on 1.47 now and it's all good! cheers!!

I'm in China now, and just change from my old Nokia 6100 and the old SIM card voltage etc. is not suitable for new devices.
This worked for my HTC P3600i - Thanks so much for the tip.

Out of interest - did this die (ie No GSM) while on Radio 1.54 or AFTER moving from 1.54 to another radio? Sounds suspiciously like sudden NO-GSM radio death syndrome stikes some more phones... see this thread about the problem and this thread about the warning that 1.54.xx radios appear to be a common factor in radio bricks in the UK, Germany and Netherlands that suddenly appear without warning.
Also, people please remember that higher radio versions do not necessarily mean "stronger" signals on your network (they don't magic up signals or make variable coverage better - they just handle the signal you DO have a little differently) and can in some circumstances introduce more issues than they fix. Finding a radio that works well with your network and your everyday location is better than constantly keeping the version numbers high
This is the last radio ROM that comes with the latest HTC WM6 ROM for FIN.
I extracted and packaged with CustomRUU, ready to install.

Or

Be sure you have HardSPL 2.1 before you install this radio upgrade.
Thanks to xgyun for find it.

Great~~~!!!
First impressions are very good. Signal strength similar or better than 1.50 here around the house and my HSDPA data connection is noticeably faster... I post battery usage later after a day´s use...
Thx for the upload...will try it later, do you know sth about the BL of this Radio ROM?:..
Regards,
Primoz
Thx jcespi2005, it's good
Thanks, I will try this later today, already downloaded.
I can confirm this version WORKS with ROGERS in Toronto and from reading on another thread, seems OK with FIDO as well.
No missed calls, rings on first ring (unlike 1.46.00.00, 1.47.00.00, 1.48.00.00 and 1.50.00.00).
It seems that the versions that work for ROGERS all end in an .10 rather than the .00 of the ones listed above.
This radio is a keeper for me.
T-MOBILE USA - Looking good
On preliminary observation, good signal and one of the faster responses to incoming calls since the 1.41 radio.
More on battery life and cell switching in a day or two.

And works with T-Mobile NL also..No problems yet..
Update: Works great when you call or sms & receive, BUT CANT USE UMTS, CANT INTERNET.
So Dutch folks, keep it by radio 1.50
It's so strange when I upgrde the this radio.
I can feel that the upgrade speed is appearing slow than anyother former version.
Some fans can't load hermes after upgrade and some can't see the new radio version in "device information". So... is anybody here has the same problem?And who can tell what is going wrong.
The best for now
Radio 1.51 it's a must have.
No more ring delay, at last the TyTN ring starts between the first and the second caller line tone..., like a real phone
HSDPA working very well

Works fine for me.
I have tested using GPRS only, and 3G with and without HSDPA, and works every time. Can sync with my exchange server using push mail, and navigate with Internet Explorer in all situations.
Seems a little better coverage than 1.50 for me, here with Orange Spain.

Hi, I have a problem with my Toshiba TG01 cellular signal, i think it could be antenna fault.
I have tried switching phone mode to GSM, it help't a little bit.
I have tried placing signal booster sticker, it help't a little bit.
But the cellular signal problem still remains.
Mostly cellular signal is bad indoors when i keep phone in my hands, and sometimes when phone is simply on the table and screen facing up. Also cellular signal is bad when i'm far away of cellular tower.
May be someone could help me to resolve this problem?

Sorry man I don't know what can you do with it. If is not working when you change ROM.
Normally the guaranty is still valid never mind if you bought your phone from other person.
