I am using the Imate PPCPE with the latest ROM and Radio Stack. The phone has been working fine ever since I've had it (few months now) but since two or three days ago, I have noticed that if I have been in an area where the phone can not find a signal or has very low signal strength (basement or elevator etc.) when I come out into the area where there should be normal (strong) signal strength, even then the phone doesnt automatically find a signal and come back online... instead i still get the antenna with no signal bars until i reset the device.
As far as I can remember I haven't installed any new software in the last week to have caused this.. otherwise I am running Wisbar Advance 2 and Spb Plus and Pocket Breeze and stuff... but all this has been on there for many months but this issue only started in the past couple of days.
Has anyone experienced this with their device? Is it software related or is it hardware? Will a hard reset fix it? Any other experiences?
This was a not uncommon problem with early XDA II's with the ROM V1.03, but recent ROM updates seemed to have cured it.
It got so bad with some users, that the continuous signal seek drained both the main and backup batteries, causing a hard reset. From ROM 1.60 this was "cured" as the phone module now powers off once the battery gets critical.
It could be a hardware fault in your case, especially if you are experiencing the problem in areas that used to be OK. May be worth trying a hard reset? What ROM/Radio are you using?
Rom: 1.72.00WWE
Radio:1.14.00
Well a hard reset seems to have fixed the issue. Now let me try to notice if adding new software affects this.
Thanks
Signal strength still very low
Its still not fixed.
The signal strength is very poor in general. In areas where its supposed to have a FULL signal, its less than full and where the signal is already not so strong, there's no signal. All i get is "SEARCHING" (for signal). Why is this happening? everything was just fine a few weeks ago.
Its very annoying because frequently when i look at my phone, I see a "searching" message and everyone's complaining why my phone is always off.
Is this something that can just happen out of the blue in a fully normal phone? It this software related or a hardware issue?
Any similar experiences? any recommendations?
Ive recently started getting this too.
I upgraded to the latest 1.72 o2 rom, maybe its an issue with the radio stack in that?
I didnt used to get it at all.
Its a problem when you come out of a lift, or from the tube. You have to reset it everytime!
For me, I dont think its related to the new ROM. Because my device always had the latest ROM (1.72WWE) and the radio stack but it never happened until recently.
And I upgraded my ROM to the newest WM2003SE (2.06WWE) and Radio but the issue is still there.
I am beginning to think its a hardware related issue.
What did you do about it Pyrofer? Is it fixed on your device now? What device do you have? Mine is an Imate.
could be hardware bro...... how about trying on 1.08 radio rom? when i reverted back to 1.08 my signal level increased... i was also annoyed by that signal searching stuff.. goodluck

@Z-man
i was trying to do the same, i wanted to use radio 1.10 with OS 2.02t1 but i got error code :123! it seems i can't use older radio stack!
how did you do it? i can jump between radio 1.14, 1.14a, 1.18 but i could not go older version!
one more thing should i reflash every thing to update only radio?and could you post your radio stack?
thanx man.
Iput together the upgrde to wMSE in one folder, then replaced the orig. radio rom with 1.08..
I used er2003edit to check if the language and operator was the same as i have in my unit... e.g. WWE and O2.
then i plug the charger in the cradle clicked on the upgrde prgram
then all went well.. i have 1.06 bootloader....
I have tried radio roms 1.14, 1.17 but i eventually reverted to 1.08
thanks to am-imate for the radio rom
OK I'll also try the new (I mean older, 1.08 Radio).
How do I know what version of bootloader I have?
More importantly, what role does the boot loader play in this whole ROM upgrading thing?
When we upgrade from WM2003 to WM2003SE we know we are doing it for some new features and stuff... when we upgrade radio, it must be the same, so what are the differences between the 1.08 and 1.18 Radio? why would an older one be more stable?
the boot loader version 1.06 they say does not allow downgrade.....maybe of o/s rom.
to check for boot loader version, push navi key+power button+reset button. be warned though, this would equal a hard reset....
radio roms had their revisions... hence, 1.08,1.14,1.17,1.18...
i monitored the my signal levels using 1.08 through 1.17 and observed that 1.08 is better for my unit.. goodluck dude
No problem... I was on a quest earlier on in the year to get as many radio ROM's as possible, but couldn't get anything earlier than 1.08.
I have the same problem, I actually had a 1.06 Radio ROM that I blasted away by accident that used to work really well. I'm on 1.18 and have difficulties, so I'll probably drop back down to 1.08 on my next hard reset.
What appears to be happening in my case is the phone searches out a 900Mhz signal first (which in my case is another carrier and is stronger than the 1800/1900Mhz) and sits there and doesn't go on to scan the 1800 and 1900Mhz bands.
am-imate
cool bro!... I'll se if i find 1.06 and maybe post it here
Ive done nothing about it.
I just put up with frequent resets at the moment.
Ive unticked ALL other carriers in the networks settings now to see if that helps. I have the latest o2 rom with the latest radio version in that.
I dont think its hardware as I havent done anything that would damage it in any way.
Unless it breaks itself from just being in my pocket.

Hi,
I upgraded my xda to the SE v1.2 ROM a few weeks back. I was running the 4.16 radio stack for many months without issue, so i left it at that.
A week after the upgrade, the phone slowed, and could get any radio signal, the backlight flashed intermittently, and on soft reboot, it wouldnt pick up any radio stack version num etc. Phone section was not working. Only on hard reboot did it start working again.
I thought maybe it was the new rom and incompatibility with the older radio stack, so i updated with the latest radio stack from o2 Uk website, v4.21.
However, after one day, i suddenly found the phone had gone again, and teh radio stack wasnt recoverable after soft reboot. I had to hard reboot again.
All my updates have gone without a hitch, and i havent installed any funny apps.
Someone else must be experiencing this too ? Ay resolution?
I have had the exact same symptoms on my PDA (PW10B1) with 6.24 of the stack. It was happening about every 4 hours or so. I reloaded the stack and its been working for about a day now without any problems.
Thing is i had the official rom from UK o2, from about 4 months ago (1 think 3.14), and there was never this issue.
Now ive cold booted twice, and upgraded the radio stack, and im still getting the prob. Ive down everything standard, no funny apps etc.. so i cant imagine many others are suffering the same.
I have seen this on my XDA (T-mobile)
I have had 4 XDA replacements (I have had stability problems)
Even with the default ROM and Radio.
I had the screen flash not just the blacklight and lost functionality till I reset the unit.
are u in the uk? Did the provider happily exchange the xda based on what you described as your prob, or did you have to argue with them?
Ansaar99
Sorry for the long Delay..
I omplained and then they replaced it.
Basically thats their answer to everything here.
Send them a new phone..
kinda sucks
Kinda rocks
but
in the end if it doesnt solve the problem its doesnt matter.
BeDammit
About units having to be replaced four times:
I have a feeling that there's a quality control problem in the handling and repair of these things. Many 'repairs' probably just mean the unit gets swapped with one that's lying around somewhere up in the supply chain. And if that's a unit that someone else brought back because of an intermittent problem, you have only problematic units lying around at some point.
My call reception with the 8525 is easily (and by far) the worst I have ever had with any phone.
Is this typical? And/or are there any fixes? My reception is often poor and often yo-yo's up and down, with lots of dropped calls.
I'm using the default ROM, with radio 1.16.00.00 (yes I'm a newbie, and yes I've been reading the wiki, etc, and alas I'm still not comfortable figuring out which bootloader, SPL, etc etc I have). I do NOT use any of the data functions, so if another radio ROM is the answer, my only criteria is call reception.
Almost wondering if it could be loose hardware?
Thanks for any ideas.

Install Hard SPL V5.
Flash radio 1.27 or higher.
I personally use 1.38.30.10 and switched to that from 1.34.00.10
The instructions are in the appropriate thread for Hard SPL, and also in the Wiki.
Remember that any flashing has the potential to ruin your device, Hard SPL makes it so that the device can be recovered in most cases.
Any of the 1.27 or higher radios should fix or greatly improve your reception issues.
Also keep in mind that HardSPL will flash quickly (less than a minute or two) but the radio takes the longest of any component to flash (10 to 20 minutes). I recommend when starting a radio flash that you disable all power management and screensaver on your computer that you are flashing from, establish your activesync connection and then run the radio upgrade ruu. Once that is done leave the room and don't come back for 30 minutes. This will prevent you from tinkering while the flash is taking place.
As said above flash HardSPLv5 FIRST
and then flash a newer radio, the latest PROVEN radio is 1.38.00.10. A few people have reported battery drain issues with the later iMate radio so i still recommend the radio in the guide.
How to flash HardSPL v5
How to flash radio 1.38.00.10
These guides make it look easy but if you havent read through the wiki please do so since it contains BUCKETLOADS of info.
Thanks to both of you for the pointers.
I have read the HardSPL page and downloaded HardSPL and the .net framework.
Looking at the install snapshots, my 1st hitch was wondering what SPL I had (since it looks like you need to pick a version during the install).. but I was able to decode that by going to the settings->device info->ROM version, and then indexing down this table http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades to determine that with ROM 1.34.502.1, I should have SPL 1.06 (is there any way to determine this more directly?)
I've grabbed 1.38.00.10 and will give this all a go when I get to work in the AM (and have plenty of time to babysit) (also I figure allowing another 18 hours for other suggestions/cautions to float in isn't the worst of ideas )
Will report back when complete. Thanks again for the info.
Mike
If you READ THE GUIDE it goes through the procedure of finding your SPL and what options to select. Please read it word for word.

Like you, I am a newbie, new 8525, read the wiki and forums for days before taking the plunge. I flashed hard SPL and Radio ROM 1.38. The reception improvement is dramatic and my battery life is dramatically improved. Someone earlier used the word "sip" to describe the minimal power this Radio ROM uses and that is true. I actually wondered on the first day of use if the battery meter was working.
If you follow the upgrade guide to the letter, you should have no problem flashing your device but you must read the guide. I know the experts have told you this but wanted to let you know that a newbie can actually do this successfully.
status on how well the radio works
--I flashed hard SPL and Radio ROM 1.38. The reception improvement is dramatic and my battery life is dramatically improved. Someone earlier used the word "sip" to describe the minimal power this Radio ROM uses and that is true.--
James, HOw long ago did you do this? how long has it been working for you? Just curious. I have had a horrible time with reception and i have tried several of the 'upgrades' but have never touched the radio. So far, not much improvement...so i am curious abot the radio rom upgrade.

My god please try upgrading the radio right now, generally the radio is responsble for any battery drain issues people are having.
Follow my guides, first make sure you have HardSPL on the device and then flash a newer radio.
See how it goes?
I will I will
MrVanx,
I am trying now. But i am trying to read everything first and your message said upgrade to hardsplv5 and your guide has v6 attached. was there a reason you said v5 instead of v6...i am not having battery drain issues at all, i am only having dropped calls. Thanks for your wisdom. I will wait for your reply on v5 vs v6 and then will flash the radio to 1.38.

DISREGARD...I GOT IT
mrvanx, i am following the guide, but i have a file called ruu wrapper instead of romupgrade.exe. when i try to run this file it fails to execute and gives a windows error. i had .net framework 3.0 running and i have since uninstalled it, but i am still unable to run the ruuwrapper file to upgrade the hardsplv6. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to go back and ask about hardware again.. I've installed the new radio, and my reception still bounces around like a yoyo. Start a call with 5 bars, then 10 seconds later down to 0 and drop the call. I'm frankly more comfortable opening up and soldering itty bitty pins on chips vs. my knowledge of the ROM upgrades (so far) anyway.
Thanks for any leads,
Mike

You're not in one of those areas that has both 2g and 3g coverage are you? If so limit phone to 2g only, otherwise Hermes goes crazy by automatically trying to swap between the two and will drop calls in the process.

Yes, worth a try at least. Hermes tries to go for strongest signal. However even within one room that can switch about from 2 to 3g. I may be wrong but I believe danielhererro's bandswitch application could make things easier here. Has a nice interface to make it easy to switch bands etc.
Well worth posting back to let us know how things go - even if it's not good news!!
Mike
Very much another question of ignorance, but might be too basic for the XDA wiki, yet mildly too in depth for Wikipedia...
I do apparently have both GSM and WCDMA in my area (I had previously associated 2G and 3G only with data connections, not voice, so tonite has been educational for me) (it also didn't help that Cingular hides the 'Band' menu from users, so I had no control, nor awareness, before using the registry tweak)
With the Hermes, with both GSM and WCDMA available, is there an obvious preference for me? Or is it a tradeoff of power vs. quality? Or just dumb luck of whichever coverage happens to be better in the exact spot I happen to be?
Thanks,
Mike
I can't say my reception is improved, but I do seem to be dropping fewer calls now....
Mike
Still poor reception
I have a newer 8525 latest rom and 1.40.30.00 raido rom, and it still gets poor reception, I have tried my sim card in a 8125 and V3 and get exelent coverage in the same spot... its always egde if that helps..
anyone have any ideas? If I can't figure it out i'm gonna have to sell it and go back to an 8125..
Thanks

I've got a v1605 flashed with Schap's 4.30 WM6, which seems to be working pretty well... However, I've got two slight issues:
Firstly, at some point, I've managed to lose my Operator Name. It said 'vodafone UK' when I first installed the ROM, but now it's blank (so I get nothing in the dialer, Phone Settings 'Home Service' and HTC Home just says 'Home' - is there any way I can fix this? I don't know what I did to break it... I did search, so I'm sorry if this issue's been covered elsewhere already.
Secondly, my camera seems to be much worse than examples I've seen taken with TyTNs owned by others. I've got serious colour 'banding', almost like applying the watercolour filter in Photoshop! At first, I thought it was just because it was on a 65k colour screen and that they'd look OK once transferred to the computer. However, they don't - the banding remains. It's really odd, because it's sharp and relatively noise free, and the macro is really good, it's just this banding issue that seems to have persisted through the original Vodafone ROM, a Black ROM and now the current Schap's ROM, all of which have had different versions of the camera app. I'm wondering now if it's a hardware fault, since there doesn't seem to be any setting I've missed...
I think I'd better bump this before it gets buried. I can't believe nobody has any idea how to get my operator name back since there are quite a few threads about changing what's displayed. However, I don't want to 'hard code' it in the registry - I just want it to display the actual name from the network/sim again...
I think the loss of operator name was caused by Radio 1.54.30.10... I guess some permanent damage has probably already been done from what I've read here. It looks like 1.5x is really dangerous, and to say that it's designed for a specific operator and wouldn't cause any problems there is stupid. If I was a customer of a network which officially distributed a 1.5x, I'd be really pissed off as I expect to be able to take my phone anywhere in the world and not fry the radio! At least, I've never heard of the radio in a Nokia or SE with operator-branded firmware dying when taken abroad!
Even though they've never been released as part of unbranded firmwares from HTC, they must be aware of its distribution, and should really put an official warning up stating the dangers of 1.5x radio builds. Odd thing is that if I stick another operator SIM in, the name shows up fine. I hope it survives in the long term. I've flashed it fine with 1.47.00.10 now, although after everything I read, I left it sitting on the ledge of an open window for a while before flashing it off the SD to make sure it was cold (it seems the likelihood of radio corruption is much higher when the device is warm...)
Any ideas on the camera issue?
Edit: By the way, is 1.48 a known safe radio build, because I notice people are reporting better performance with it than other 1.4x builds?

No known/reported issues up to radio 1.49.xx - It's only the 1.5x.xx where a potential link to hardware issues is being investigated - but it has not been confirmed (ie. no hard evidence) so it's more about using a bit of caution. 1.5x deaths are suspected in UK, Germany and Netherlands as they have large numbers of recent deaths where 1.5x was being used and the death occured "spontaniously" ie - just happened when things were working fine for a while but no proven link. I agree however, that the risk at the moment with that radio is fairly real and advise people to use it with extreme caution or at least do their own research on users sharing their own operator/area.
While a radio update may cause your network operator logo to change a bit (as can changes in the ext_rom etc) it certainly shouldn't cause issues with your camera and I suspect that's something else at play.
In terms of fixing your operator logo - I don't know any other way than tweaking the registry...
Have you tried other OS Roms with updated camera software to see if they cure your camera issues?
Good luck! (new motto - Radios fine up to 1.49)
As mentioned, try flashing another rom for resolution of both issues. Otherwise, u can tweek the registry for the op name or do a hard reset.
I had it apart since I wanted to tighten up the slide mechanism and the camera wasn't properly connected - it just fell off the PCB, only held above it's socket by the nearby flash LED PCB...
I cleaned the connectors out and plugged it in properly, and it seems to be much better now.
As for the operator name, it did seem strange that it could be caused by the radio, but somebody else reported it in the radio death issue thread, so I did wonder. I'll try flashing it with a different ROM soon, anyway, since this one's a bit heavy on the memory usage and has some irritating issues with the dialer anyway.
Edit: Fixed the op name as follows:
http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-H...44537/Nature-Weird-operator-name-on-SPV-C550/
There was an entry in the registry with vodafone UK's carrier ID as a series of whitespaces. How odd. Deleted it and the name came back. I wonder how it happened though.
Upgrade & camera issues
FYI ... I loaded Schaps 4.30 Hermes ROM and loved it. Ran great for several days and then I ran the latest Radio update to 1.54.30.10. After I did, several things went wacky, including my camera. I could not access my camera, not even through the camera or video launchers on the HTC launcher. I had problems with my keyboard too, but found changing the keyboard to Cingular (instead of English) fixed that problem.
I reloaded Schap's 4.30, but it did not downgrade the radio and my problems persisted.
So, I reloaded AT&T's office WM6 upgrade and it downgraded the radio and from that point on, everything worked great. I've since gone back to Schap's 4.30 ROM and having no problems with camera or video. But I'm not planning on upgrading the radio (at least for now). Schap's 4.30 took the radio to 1.54.07.00
I have an AT&T 8525 a.k.a. HTC Hermes 100. I hope this helps you to better troubleshoot your camera woes!
P.S.
I'm considering loading Schap's 4.31 ROM (released today), but ... considering all my ROM woes lately ... I think I'm going to wait until I can read some of the reviews on his latest ROM.

I really think this deserves a thread on its' own.
I've been having some real crazy headaches and problems with my phone lately.
I updated my phone to TNT 5.0 with touchflo. I have WM6.0 with IPL / SPL 2.26. GSM is 2.25 and my OS is 6.0.0.0. I have no idea how to check what my radio rom version is... I am currently with Rogers in Canada. I installed lokiwizb to unlock this phone.
Simply put, I'm fed up. I get the "colnot.dll, clocknot.dll and repllog.dll" files all the time! What's wrong is that the "touch" on my phone is a bit screwy, either doing things late or not tapping at all.
The worst is that my phone either has poor or no reception at all! Forget about calling today, it just doesn't work. And I realised this week that I had dropped calls and calls that were just not picked up. Afterall having messages from days ago when the phone is on me is not such a good thing.
I've actually dropped the battery status plug in a while back because I had problems with that too.
What can possibly be wrong with the phone. I upgraded it to WM6 and put on cool roms to make it more appealing and in the process, it turned out to be a nightmare.
And CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME what that hard "tock" sound is everytime I hit a key???
Is there a radio rom I should install to get better reception? Should I downgrade back to some other rom, maybe even wm5? Is there a way to overclock (not over 240) my phone without any problems from the application? If it's not the htc rom, is there still a way to get the weather plugin? That is a really nice and useful item.
Please, anyone that could fix my phone is a champ. I'm just sick and tired of these problems.
Phil
Do a hard reset and your troubles will end. It works for me

Please, anyone that could fix my phone is a champ. I'm just sick and tired of these problems.

Easy, 'GSM is 2.25' is your radio version presently installed on your phone.The most stable Radio Rom version commonly preferred is Radio Rom version 2.19.11 UK or 2.69.11,download and flash to check if you get a better reception a fewer missed calls.
As per other file pop ups,its better you reflash again and try the other latest TNT.1620 Series Professional and not the touchflo.hope you'll get a much better performance and no troubles or even try out the latest XMr5 Rom.For overclocking,download 'Batterystatus' install and use.
Cheers !
Revenge of the notifications!!!
Hey Zabra,
Thanx for your reply. I am trying to install the TNT 1620. But these notifications are very annoying. So far it looks good, but as far as performance goes - too early to tell.
Do you know how to at elast turn off the clonot, calnot and repllog notifications???
I'll try to install batt status now. Hopefully, it'll work better than the last time!

P.s. - what about registry edits? I would like to know if there are any that haven't been included on this rom.
Hi I am in fringe area reception. Find that this ROM seems to lock its AGC high eg after reasonable signal, then reduced, it seems to sometimes lose signal altogether, needing a reboot. Yesterday even in a strong signal area, and reboot a few times it took 3 reboots until the radio came 'unstuck' and started to receive again.
Question is for WM6, is there a radio rom that is more reliable than this one?
If so, url pse.
Thanks vm.
Alistair.
All U can do is to test also 1.13 version. There is also possibility of faulty GSM module.

I had problems with the radio that were caused by the old battery.
replacing a new battery, fixed many of my BA's strange problems.
If your BA's battery is old, too, then give it a shot by changing it.
True True, i had some weird problems which were solved by purchasing new battery

Can understand that, because the power saving mode would lock down on radio activity, however, the battery in this unit lasts at least 3 days, and the problem occurs regardless of battery level; eg it can be on the charger when it loses signal.
Why I asked is there was a thread a while back on various radio problems and I thought some indicated a different rom was the cure. Unfortunately, could not find the thread or url for the radio roms.
Cheers,
Alistair.
yep, i used to experience faulty battery stuffed up the radio big time.
Dain your battery completely.
I was having the same issues on my BA, so that when i dropped it (5" onto a desk) and cracked the digitizer, i went out and purchased an elfin.
But i couldn't abandon my BA, so i fitted a new digitizer last night, recharged the battery which was completely drained, installed a new rom "Black Diamond Manila2D", then loaded my sim card, i had signal straight away, where i was getting none at all. I would have to drive 5 K's away from where i live to be able to get the phone to "lock on" once it lost signal, so it was a bit of a shock.
Anyway give it a go and see if it works for you.
I usually get "no signal" when I restore "pim.vol" from previous rom, it resolves when I change the above file with original one.
I did try different radio versions with same result.
pls check if this is not your case as well.
I m on fido network in canada, and 1.13 work better according to my exprience.
