For many weeks I have been struggling to get a good signal with a T-Mobile Pay and Go sim card. I have a dual (ghost) sim, with O2 Pay and go as the other card, and the latest O2 Rom. Yesterday, after a sudden moment of inspiration I did a hard reset of my device, and a soft reset as soon as the device started up; giving me the basic operating system only. Suddenly my signal strength improved.
I am keen to reinstall the O2 Rom. Can anyone tell me what it is in the Rom that may be affecting the T-mobile signal strength so that I can remove it or merge the relevant part of the T-mobile rom. I am familiar with manipulating the extended rom, but have no knowledge of the radio rom? Is this the problem, or is it more likely to be one of the extended rom programs? If it is the radio rom, will replacing it with the T-mobile one mean I lose the O2 signal? Is there any 'neutral' radio rom that can be combined with the O2 general rom that will give me both signals?
Thanks in advance

I updated my new ROM and cook a win2003 4.01.12 euro xda dev data. Im living in Asia. Ive found out that my signal in the network is quite Low compare before. I tried other sim network , still low signal. I tried other phone & its good... Do i need to cook a ROM with Asia setting datafor my XDA so I can get a good signal ? please help
please help me
From playing w/ my devices (with the same radio stack and the phone in the same physical place), ROMs with 2002 seem to show more signal bars than 2003 ROMs.
Ok, I'm fed up now. My Tytn is dropping a ridiculous amount of calls lately, and I'm tired of it. I've set it to use GSM/GPRS only, so it's not an issue of switching between 2G and 3G.
My current ROM info is in my signature. I've been avoiding going to another ROM because I would never be able to go back to the original Tytn one if I wanted to. But now, I'm ready. I'm tired of the dropped calls.
So, with that being said... please, give me your suggestion of what ROM I should upgrade to.
Many thanks in advance,

Sleuth,
If you happen to read this, I'm interested in hearing about your setup as shown in your sig.
I'm using Dopod's Rom (Not the AUS one), it's quite good, snappy responsive. Once a while crashes if i leave wifi on over night, otherwise very stable. as for voice quality, it's amazing, havn't had problems with dropped calls. Before you change ur rom, i'd suggest u check that it's ur provider and not your fone. when u sure it's ur fone, try the dopod rom.
SP111,
I am experiencing the same problem. I am using the 8525. I changed SIM cards and that did not help much.
Hope to see what others think...

Put you SIM card in another phone (Nokia OR SE) and see if you face same problem, if yes, then it is RADIO signal problem in your Area. Otherwise the choice is in your hand to proceed for ROM upgrade on TyTn for Radio only. (See WiKi Pages for ROM Upgrade Radio Ver. 1.20.31.10).
why dont you try the new ROM 1.35????.
there are good comments about it. I will upgrade my vodafone v1605 to it..
good luck

For me is was a matter of which provider I used. I switched to another (from Tele2 to Telenor, if you're Norwegian ) and I never had that problem again...
Sorry, I should have been more clear about one point... I still have my Cingular 2125 (HTC Faraday) as well as my old Audiovox SMT5600, and I have tested these phones with my SIM, and do NOT experience problems with dropped calls. So I'm pretty sure it's the Tytn.
My TyTN is on Cingular. I've never had a dropped call. I do have some issues picking up calls though. Interestingly, I the same issues with my Cingular 8125 (wizard).
Thought I'd start a thread where people can post there issues/bugs on ROM upgrade 1.35 and it will also help people to make an informed decision before upgrading to this ROM.
I have now used this ROM on my SPV M3100 for over several weeks and the only issue I have is when using my 3 network USIM the voicemail speed dial 1 does not work even after going through the settings or registry the bizzare thing is I don't get this issue with other network SIM i.e. O2, Orange or T-Mobile.
P.S. before someone says I may have a faulty 3 USIM, I did not have this issue prior to this upgrade.
Is the 1.35 Rom different from?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294927&highlight=issues
The HTC ROM 1.35 is different from the cingular ROM 2.06, it's supposedly the most stable of the ROM upgrades or so they say!
I haven't any issue, Radio & ROM 1.35 ... i've read someone has problems with messaging service...
Using a Task Manager ONE TIME only i've seen the Messaging Service stopped, just a reboot.
now works well, bt, wifi & radio
and what happend, when you try to change the very first contact on sim? I had similar problem, but on old nokia phone, not windows nor symbian.

Would the HTC 1.35 ROm work on the Cingular 8525?
loud busy tone even if Phone is on loudness=0
i have some problems with this Radio 1.35.00.11. The thread is about that, isn´t it?
First of all my phone beeps loud out of the speaker at the back(the loud one for "free speaking") if the Person iam calling is not available (busy signal). Even if the Phone is turned to loudness 0! Iam not sure that the Radio Rom is responsible for that, because i reseted my vario2 completely. But iam sure that problem i never had before(with the german origninal Radio ROm).
*edit* iam currently reading that this is not a problem from the Radio Rom... The extRom may be responsible. Sorry!
But please help me the following Topic:short: is it possible to flash to an older RadioRom?
*/edit*
Because of that i wanted to flash the 1.27. Radio ROM to the Vario2. I took this one: ftp://xda:[email protected]_TMD-TMA_Radiopatch_1.27.00.00_107_GER.exe
The flashing procedure got complete without any error, but on the Vario iss still the 1.35.00.11! Isn´t it possible to flash to a older Rom Version?
Thanks for help!?
I've picked up a second-hand Qtek T-Mobile 9100 MDA.
Device is working properly, but the reception is very bad.
Mostly of the time, there's no connection, and sometimes, one stripe appears.
Manual search for providers brings no result.
First i've tried with my T-Mobile NL Sim, and i've only had reception once.
Because i wanted to rule out the possiblity that T-Mobile was the problem, i first tried it at another spot (at my work, at home, and at my girlfriends palce)
The device was SIM locked, zo I unlocked it, and after that, i've tried my Vodafone NL Card. The Sim and CID lock succeeded, but i've still got problemens with the reception, and i was lucky if i even HAD a reception.
Then i've tried loading the 2.26 ROM on it, installation was succesfull, but still the same connection/reception problems.
Then i've loaded the Windows Mobile 6 Underground Edition to my 9100, and this didn't bring any succes, still a very bad reception.
Then i'v decided to concentrate on the Radio ROMs, iv'e tried these versions:
2.19.11
2.47.11
2.61.11
All of these didn't improve the quality of the reception.
I've read a trick with Aluminium foil? I've no doubt that it could improve the quality of the reception, but I think it will only be a couple %? Of could i be wrong? Or could it be a hardware problem?
Thnx in advance for your help

I then installed the WM6 Underground editon.

I am impressed that your first post contains so much good and thoughtful information! Thank you!
The user posting about the foil tried that as a result of a poor connection point inside the phone for the copper leads, you might check that.

Hello
I have a new HTC P3600 that I upgrated to ROM version 1.23.405.2 from the HTC website.
It is not receiving any network, I am getting this symbol " ! " on the signal strength indication. I tried a different sim card with the same result, I tried turning the phone on and off, I tried the flight mode on and off, I did a soft reset and still nothing.
By the way this was the same before and after the ROM update. Also this area has full reception without ever experiencing problems, as my other Windows Mobile has full reception on it.
My Radio version is 1.38.00.11 I am thinking of upgrading the radio version, maybe this will help but I thought better to ask here first.
Thanks
P.S. I did make many searces in this forum but I couldnt find anything exactly like my problem
