has anyone else had the problem of loosing reception for no reason...after a soft reset i have full reception...but that happend last nite and just now...the fones in standby mode :S
i've had a problem "losing" signal, but i think that's just because Cingular reception isn't the best where i work, but at home it's actually full bars all the time.
r u using wisbar advance? if u r, then its a known issue..they are workin on it to get it resolved..
im on tmobile usa. not only does my mda looses its signal but also when it does, it becomes a pain to get it back...it normally takes me a minute or two to get my reception back...
:roll:
hmmmm mine seems fine now...i dont know why it was doing that :S :?
I've noticed that twice so far on mine...for no reason, it searches for signal in an area where i have never had problems with reception. Maybe Cingular was working on their network during those periods...who knows.
Today was the first time I lost signal since I got this phone (with the exception of a room that's been jammed) and the cause:
A couple of hours ago I had my phone on my desk inside one of my note books (yes my desk is messy ) and as I was lifting the note book, the phone slipped through and hit the floor and came to rest with the mini SD 1/2 way out.
Later my friend comes looking for me and said the phone doesn't ring. Turns out my SIM had become dislodged and was about 1/3 the way out :roll: Put it back in properly and all is well.
Might want to check the sim.
I've had the same problem...at home I frequently have a full set of bars...the all of a sudden I have no bars...then its a pain to get it back; sometimes requiring a reset. It's a real pain. Anyone else have this problem and found a solution; I am running the test ROM
This kinda thing happens to me with my XDAIIi and its because i use a cheap (slow) SD card, it somehow interferes with the radio when inserted, so i have it popped out all the time.
It might be the same thing with the wizard, what kinda mini SD card do you all use?

When i make a call if it lasts more than about a minute the phone cuts off and the phone shows no signal, after a while the searching bar comes up next to the ariel icon, eventually the signal comes back, but at no regular time, there is no problem when the phone is not being used i.e. it only happens when i make or recieve a call. Tried soft and hard reset and not cured it, also tried changung network settings but this also has no effect, contacted works I.T. department who own the Sim in my phone and they say there is no problem with the network so it must be my P.D.A. help please. P.S. not too much tech jargen please dont know a great deal about the inner workings of the P.D.A. system.............thanx
I don't know how old your device is but it could be your battery that gets easily drained when making a call. My device was 18 months old with its original battery when this happened. After replacing the battery problem was gone.
Any other solution to resolve this issue ? I am pretty sure the problem is bcoz of the battery coz the moment i plug it into the usb port of my laptop, it comes alive (network signal is back)
Try 2 change the panel ...Put original Panel...100% it will work
what Pannel you mean? have similar problem...
Hi there,
I got a Tytn since about 2 months now. I never used the image that it came with but since i tried about 3 or 4 different images and at least 5 different radio versions, I am seeing the device acting really strange. The symptoms I see are:
- device locks up while in sleep mode and sms / calls are not being anounced / logged
- devices loses reception really often, switches to gprs when it had 3g reception 1 sec ago, doesnt want to do calls on the first try(sometimes I need 4 tries)
Sometimes I can solve the problem by setting the device to flight mode and then back to nonflight mode.
Im not sure if it is a hardware problem with my device. When I got it I was barely able to get the stylo in the device or out. Since a few weeks, after some thin foil coming out of the stylus sloy, the stylus goes in fairly easy. Im not sure if that messed up something with my hardware, for example some antenna connection or sth like that.
Do you got any ideas what I could try to fix the problem? Or would sending in the TyTN be the best way to solve that problem?
Thanks for your help,
Pascal

The problems you outline have all been dealt with in various places in this forum. Use the google sticky post to search.
Some of the more practical issues - stylus, hanging/freezing are dealt with here but also at my mini hermes site:
http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com
However I might be tempted to go for an exchange given the range of issues you have and what may be damage to the radio. (I am not convinced there is damage - the dropping calls issue has a work around - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070 that allows you to choose a set band.)
Depending on where you got the phone may determine whether you need to return it to OEM ROM before returning (if that's what you choose to do)

I guess I will just go for a return of the phone. I still got a Nokia e61 lying around here. Does anyone of you have any experience with the htc support? I boght the phone at an o2 shop in germany. I guess they will go for a sendin to the manufacturer.
Cheers
Pascal
I just returned my tytn to the shop today. Too many problems with this device. Could anyone of you tell me if that is usual problems or if the tytn runs fine if it is not being touched?
If it does I will get a tytn again, if not I guess i will go for a blackberry or a palm treo, or just stick to my old phone (nokia e61)
Any ideas?
Cheers
Pascal
mine works fine... havent experienced the sleep of death or anything of the sort.. some people seem to have it more with certain roms than other people.. but mine over all is working good...
update your ROM
Hello,
To resolve your problem , you need update the ROM to version Black Diamon, 01-04-2007, radio version 1.07.03.10.
Hello, long time lurker here finally posting
I got the Touch Dual 2 days ago on Orange, and so far ive been pretty perplexed by the reception. It is consistently 1 or 2 bars lower than my old Blue Angel that i have sat next to it, and it loses signal at work in places where my previous TyTn never did. The main problem however seems to be regaining signal after losing it. It will stay offline for literally hours...the only fix is to switch it off and on again, and even that doesnt always work. The strange thing here is the 3G icon comes back up instantly and it will go online even though it cant make/receive calls.
Is it a dud handset, something wrong with the network or can anyone shed any light on the matter? I really want to avoid getting a replacement from Orange as i have already had 5 refurbished TyTn's since Christmas that were all faulty.
have you flashed a different radio to it or left it with the original?
I had flashed the latest from NetRunnerAT folder but started having the same problems, reflashing the original sorted it out
happen the same to me,
i change the config to gsm only. that helps.
still im looking for a signal booster cos i think its a touch dual matter.
maybe it can help a little. at least thats what i heard. im thinking about a generation x.
dont know yet.
what u think?

ha...changing to GSM only jumped the signal from 1 bar to the full 4. Kind of annoying such a small thing should make such a huge difference
Thanks for the tip!
I think this is more to do with HTC phone as I have a nokia which when side by side with my touch the nokia gets a full 3g signal and the touch only get 2 bars.
I also had the problem that it takes ages to pick up a signal after being in flight mode or doesnt pick up a signal at all. Anyway I ended up sending it to HTC for reapir (for this and many other problems) have just got it back from repair and they said the replaced the mainboard but it does seem to be picking up a signal now.
Note: see the fourth post for info on how I fixed this.
My Vario II (now on Three in the UK) has, for the last month or so, begun to disconnect at random intervals. It will be working happily in a full 3g signal, then it will suddenly bring up the "no connection" !x, which will then turn back to 2g and then 3g.
It's not the network - I have a PAYG Three sim which I used to check for coverage before I signed up for a contract, so I put that in my old e61 and sat the two connected side-by-side and it doesn't have any of these problems.
It's a complete pain because on the days when it happens more often it destroys the battery life, anything down to about 4 hours in a full 3g signal, as well as stopping any chance of push email working properly.
I've tried several radio ROMs and none of them make any difference; I've also tried switching back to a known-good ROM which I know used to work fine, so I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue.
Does this sound like the "dying radio" problem other people have talked about? Or is it likely to be a dodgy connection in the phone?
Ta!

I think I may have fixed it: a couple of months ago I reformatted the microSD card after some file corruption and I told it to use FAT32 (since I assumed that would be better); however today I found a post on the web (on this site?) somewhere (which I can no longer find, argh!!) which suggested that might cause some problems. I wish I could find it now because there must be something about the type and size of card (it's only a 1GB) because FAT32 is obligatory on SDHC cards, yes?
Anyway, I've reformatted as FAT16 with a single FAT (http://tinyurl.com/6pdhtx suggests the increase in speed is significant) using mkdosfs for windows (http://www1.mager.org/mkdosfs/) and had no dropped connection since. I'll keep an eye on it but I'm thinking that may have been the problem... is this a known issue?
Is there any reason why FAT32 on a (non-SDHC) micro-sd card would cause the radio malfunction? A power drain issue maybe?
Anyway, like I said, I'll report back in a few days.
Edit: it just dropped out. Back to the drawing board.

Stuff that. I just watched it drop out while the SD card was removed completely so it can't be SD related.
SOLVED!!!

An update for anyone experiencing this problem.
In desperation before I bought a new phone I took this one apart (first level only, I didn't dare take apart the slide because last time I did that - with an SGH D600 IIRC - I couldn't get it back together (!)) and reseated everything I could see, as well as giving it a damn good clean with a can of compressed air and some (dry) cotton pads.
I also used a small flat-bladed screwdriver to prise up the SIM contacts just in case they had, over time, become too flattened to make a consistent contact.
Since then (two days ago) my phone hasn't dropped out once. It's been connected through IMAP IDLE all day and battery readings are dropping less than 4% per hour (which is better than I've ever had it with push email turned on)
I'm somewhat annoyed I did both things at once because now I'm not sure which solved it. I'm inclined to believe it was the SIM contacts because I can't really see how cleaning the phone would make a difference, unless it had managed to get something metallic in there. I do feel better about it being clean though
I suppose it's possible that having gunk around the chips might restrict the airflow (there was a lot of crap in there) and therefore produce problems but, like I said, I don't see it.
Hope this helps someone else with this problem, anyway.
Useful info - good to get your follow-ups
For clarity: this isssue is related to random loss of network connection and excess power drain.
It is not the random power loss issue where the entire device switches off.

Hello, sorry for my english, is not the best.
I've BIG problem with my P3300. originally it came with WM5, after some time I got update from official site for WM6. Had WM6 maybe for 4 months, everything was just perfect while one day my HTC started do funny things like go off it self (white screen when using navigation). It was a once in a week. After some time it started to be like this few times in a day. I thought what I need to do hard reset. Did. Didn't helped. Than I tried to flash my phone to WM6.1. Phone went mad, was constantly switching off it self, screen just freezes and after that you even can't start the phone around 5-10 min. it just want do anything, even if you plug in the charger, indicating orange light want come up. Than I tried to flash with original WM5. Did that, everything was fine for a day, but after the day it went off, i restarted, and than gone wireless and screen started move to the left and to the right aprox 2 mm. When is connected to computer it want connect to ActivSync, it's coming up message: Can't find IP address, try to disconnect phone and connect again... I did manual configurations in network cards and computer, so when you're looking in network connections looks everything fine, but it's still not recognized by ActiveSync :/ Than i send the phone to recovery mode, connected to the computer and updated to WM6. Same thing, screen shaking, wireless not working, goes off. Is strange thing too, in aprox 24 hr memory is filled up to maximum - than is coming up the message: Storage is full, please delete some programs. :/ Hard Reset have to do every single day... Any idea what's can be wrong with my phone? Tried already a lot of things, no more ideas. I think it's software problem... :/
If anyone have any ideas please share with me... Thanks for everyone.
Anyone any ideas? Please, someone... i don't really wanna put phone in to the bin...
Its a hardware isue
Sorry, I have same problems and try same thinks, finaly I send to service and they say its a commone hardware error on electrical micro connections inside cosed by droping the phone down. Before I send it hangs up 2-3 time at day, now its hapen 1 in 10 day if I accedentaly drop the phone
Hardware issue
I think this is hardware problem..., I have some experience with repair HTC smartphones. Freezing, restarting, problem with screen..., GSM etc,,..
In all cases helps Hot air soldering station, find right chip or module (gsm , proc..) and reheating this.. A frequent problem is BROKEN tin joints BGA chips , after impact of equipment. .. sorry for english...
I'm facing the same problem with my old Artemis.
Since I upgrades, I gave it to a friend. It was working perfectly fine months now, until last week.
The phone keeps freezing, doesn't always boot, many times won't even respond to charger pluged in.
Randomly resoldering the board's chips, sound like a long & hard solution :/
