On my K-Jam when coming out of flight mode after a flight the signal strength meter shows no signal but I'm in a strong signal area and I can make and receive call fine. Switching the device off and on restores the signal meter.
Anybody else seeing this?
do you have anything installed that displays stuff on the top bars? maybe it's just a re-draw problem. if it doesn't affect performance then maybe it is ok?
No nothing installed which uses the top bar.
So, am I the only one with this problem? I am trying to stablish whether this is a WM% issue or due to something I have installed on my device.
anything that affects the radios then [i.e. stuff that turn on or off the BT/Telephone/WiFi]???
Only PPCProfilespro. I can try removing that I guess. will let you know.
i had a similar problem with older PPC phone. It would not turn the phone part back up, if my battery is low. Plug it in to a charger and it's back to normal.
Same problem here with an 8125 - need to reboot after using flight mode to get phone connected again. Means turning off and then soft booting vs flight mode is the best way to get on/off a plane. Annoying - the RIM guys are up and running instantly.
I've also seen this on my kjam a few times.
It doesn't show any signal bars but the green led flashes which indicates that there is a signal and i can make calls or send msgs!
Either a soft reset restores it back or by turnin Flight Mode on and off again..
how do u put the 8125 into flight mode
Well I uninstalled my PPCProfile Pro and it still does it. I then tried with another profiler (Phone alarms) and same thing. I think this is as MS software problem by the looks of it.
After flight mode it recovers... eventually
One of the things I've found is that if, after leaving flight mode, you just leave the phone for a while (at least 5-10 minutes) it eventually seems to show the signal strength properly.
Of course, that's a pain, so I usually just soft reset it.
When you say that it's showing the "..." and you can still make calls, do you know if GPRS also works? And, what about incoming calls?
Thanks!
sorry a bit offtopic: i can't find the thread with the GSM Test Mode (Reg-Hack, calling a phone-number...). Anybody has a link please?

by the phone indicator I mean the reception status indicator. after I wake from sleep mode it would not show any reception status at all. I cannot go into phone settings after that, would tell me wait 15 seconds then try again but after 15 seconds, same thing.
I can use the phone however, calls would connect and incoming calls would connect.
a related bug that I noticed, I cannot disable flight mode properly either. after entering flight mode phone shuts off (normal) but when I wake it would not come back alive. phone indicator remains with an 'X' on it and I cannot force it to register on my network.
running on Rogers Wireless in Canada. although I doubt the network is causing this grief.
anyone else experience this? so far there's only 1 ROM version available that I'm aware of. so I don't think that'll have any effects on this.
suggestions would be appericiated.

btw forgot to mention I'm on an I-mate K-JAM.
all else set aside this is an excellent device. being my first pocket PC I know I will have a great experience playing with WM5.
I have tried manually setting all sleep options to 0 with PHM regedit. that includes BT and phone.
in case any fellow Canadians are wondering about the availability of K JAM in canada. the answer is NO. I had to order it from a US store, paid a fortune clearing it from the customs and waited 2 weeks for shipping. tough luck being a Canadian .
Yep, this happens on mine as well. Sometimes it goes so far as to say "SIM status unknown." I hope a ROM update can fix it.
I have had the same issue on occasion... Not sure if it 3rd party software doing it though... Don't want to hard reset just yet...
I could not exit flight mode one time. Soft reset fixed it.
somewhat of a fix. I just turn power off after 3 min thing off while on battery. manually lock keys and turn screen off everytime I finish using the unit. the battery definitely sucks a whole lot more but phone don't go to sleep anymore which fixes the whole not recovering reception issue. and flight mode seems to work better as well.

Same here with my Qtek 9100. And my 9100 continues to show the roaming icon even if I am under coverage of my home network (Vodafone Italy). I think that this one is a SIM related bug (I tried to use another SIM and everything was fine), waiting for the next ROM update.

Hi mates
Somehow my friends' wizard stuck at Flight mode and I cannot make or receive calls.
Everytime i enable phone,it turn back to flight mode. But the signal bar showed that i full signal and even it can show my cariier. But i cant make any setting in Phone, such as Network selection becase it say phone in flight mode. Turn off flight mode, it automatically turn flight mode on!!!
Weird.
I flashed it again and again, both radio and OS. Now i have 2.26 IPL, SPL, mr.Clean ROM (lastest), radio (lastest cingular, heard better signal reception)
But still nothing happens, Phone app refuse to work.
Any ideas, please.
What was The solution?
My dell streak is doing the same thing anyone have info on this?
my phone does not connect to att or the internet. it looks and looks for signal but it will never work unless i plug my phone onto my computer and sync it through activesync. after leaving it plugged in my phone will find signal and i can unplug the phone and work it regularly. this is a problem cause if i turn my phone off its done.. i wont be able to get it working after i turn it back on unless i stop at home and fix it which is a pain when I travel and have to turn my phone off before a flight.
when i turn on the phone it will say i am missing the file " and i will not work properly.. etc..etc i dunno if that has anything to do with my problem
Try a Soft reset or Hard Reset,hope it'll work.
Cheers!
neither worked

hmmmm,
You'll perhaps have to reflash it again,download official stock rom of your provider from its website and flash.ok
cheers!
anything??
well i have the nbd touchflo or whatever installed on mine and i have hard reset it a couple times.. reinstalled the software as well. usually when there are no programs it turns on and finds the signal. even when i do install programs it will work maybe the next 2 or 3 times i turn it off or soft reset it. then after that.. it never finds signal after turning on it needs a computer. this is really a hassle for traveling or if the battery drops out. sometimes it might even just lose signal for no reason. maybe im not doing something right.. is there a setting that needs to be changed once the phone screws up and doesnt find signal?
is it possible that if too many things are runnning it will not be able to find signal. right after turning it on i used the taskmanager to shut off ilock and s2u2 and then it shortly finds signal afterwards. sometimes it does att and sometimes it finds cingular. if it finds cingular the phone does not work and it says that the phone is off even though in the comm manager it is on. i just reset it and try again..
and whats the diff between the G (gprs) and E (medianet edge)? the phone never really works when it is doing G and when it tries to find signal when turning on the phone, sometimes (couple seconds) it will show some signal (calls still cant be made) with the G logo then eventually lose it.
Hi all,
Dont know if this is a known error in the original ROM but my telephone crashes when it is in standby mode.
It looks like the problem is in the power manager.
SPECS:
Diamond 2
OEM UK ROM
Test Steps taken:
- in power manager auto standby mode OFF
: No problem phone stays alive
- auto standby mode OFF, manually brought into standby
: Problem after 5 - 10 minutes, phone does not come out of standby mode, reset needed
- auto standby mode ON
: same as above
- auto standby on, and manually brought uinto standby
: same..
this doesn't sound like a HW problem to me, but is there a known sollution ?
Thanks in advance..
Grtz.
i had the same problem before -- but with o2 stealth. and i was able to fix it by disabling the password lock in settings. i'm not sure if this will also work on diamond2. no harm in trying.
The sounds a little bit like the Standby of Death issue except I only used to get it every couple of days because I would spend a portion of my week in a strong 3G area the SOD coincided with me being in a weak 3G area. Try this
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.

Hi
Disable the phone radio so it isn't connected to the nework, then try again, does it still fail to come out of standby? With a stock ROM which you say you have anyway do a hard-reset to wipe any programs or settings you may have made and try again, does it still fail to come out of standby?
If yes it is a hardware problem, most likely faulty RAM that can't keep the contents stored in standby mode when it's being refreshed at a lower rate and voltage.
Regards
Phil

Good thinking Phillip, If he can reproduce the problem consistantly within 5 - 10 minutes then the phone radio might not be at fault in this instance, the quickest way to tell would be to disable the phone radio as you quite rightly suggest.
In my limited expierience with the SOD I could not reproduce it at will within 5-10 minutes, it just happened randomly 2-3 times over the course of a week and coincedently when I was in a weak 3G area (not such a coincedence! after all)
Admittedly I had the SOD only once again on my Tytn II in the 1.5 years after I changed the phone band settings from auto to GSM only, so it can happen for other reasons but it should be very rare indeed.
If you read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously everything I've written above only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
Lately, I've been having an issue where if I go into an area with no service (or at least I think I have no service) I never get service again, even when I'm in areas where I know I have strong service. Sometimes if I go into airplane mode and back, it comes back, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes when this happens, and I turn on airplane mode and turn it off again, the phone shuts itself off and I have to manually power it back on.
Anyone have this issue, or know what could be going on?

I have this same issue myself. Dunno what it is and wasn't able to fix it either. You can look through my comments to find an identicle thread I started a couple of days ago on this same issue titled "Data connection issue" to see if it helps.
I'll have airplane mode on for awhile but when I finally turn it off I get 3g data showing in the status bar but only one of the arrow's will light up if I try to use the browser and eventually sputters out. Same thing would happen with the Quicksettings app when I would turn off the apn data toggle for awhile, when I turn it back on there is no real data connection even though the 3g is showing...
I've tried the whole thing about pressing the #4#... etc to turn off the radio and turn it back on again but nothing works for me. I wish someone knew how to fix this
mine does the same thing. the only thing that works for me is turning it off and back on again. such a PITA.
mine does it also
I fixed my similar 3g problem by (re)flashing the radio from recovery.

same problem i just restart
same problem sometimes...i just switch airplane mode on and off and it usually fixes
Old bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2845
I'm hoping that Froyo finally brings a fix for this (and full Exchange calendar), or it's Craigslistville for my N1.

This or a restart will always fix the problem when this happens to me.

I have that radio flashed but in place of the U, mine has an H... whats the difference?
I'm crossing my fingers that this'll be remedied in the update..
