Hello everyone, i had have this happend to me twice and i dont know what it is. When im on a call my phone hangs up at a certain time between 5 -10 min during the call. And what it does is it hangs up and loses the signal and thake a min to find it. I dont know what could be doing this. Perhaps its the new ROM for HTC which i installed about 2 weeks about, but i cant figure it out. B/c most of my calls are short and are for confermation. Any tips with be great. Thanks!
well i think i kno what it is
I was on another forum and someone told me it was the Radio, i was on the cingular forums to see if they can do anything, they told me to do a hard reset, i did but i havent gotten in a long conversation so we'll see
I've been having the same issue for weeks now.
Someone mentioned if you have an application which is set to automatically connect to the internet (ex. Pocketweather. Newsbreak), then this can potentially be the cause. It has something to do with switching between voice and data.
There's a simple registry fix for this. Read about it last night, but don't have a link handy. It was in the Wizard forums here.
Please
Please look for it it would be greatly apritated
Registry change for dropped calls after 4 minutes
Add the key
HKLM\drivers\builtin\ril\GPRSStallWorkaround=dw:0
See http://www.netmotionwireless.com/support/technotes/2208.asp for an explanation...
I dont see it
I dont see "GPRSStallWorkaround"=dword:0" do i make it or what i read the link you gave me
Add the keyY
You need to add the key with a value of a double word (dw) of 0. Check out the link above...
Thanks for starting a thread like this. i usually experience this issue when I'm using Agile Messenger and a call comes in. If I don't close Agile while on the call it will just drop the call.
I might give this GPRSStallWorkaround a try if anyone gets any results from it.
Soo
I copy this entire thing word for word GPRSStallWorkaround"=dword:0 ? and put the type DWORD
Negative
you make a new key as descibed above and give it a value of a double word of 0.
OOOK
ok i got it now i see it.. and that will solve it i presume and i soft reset?
yep...reset it...
it will address the problem descibed in the link above...
It works!!
Thanks soo much i was on a call for 20 min straight and it didnt disconnect. thanks soo much again
This may be related to some of the software I have on the device, but once or twice a week I turn on the unit, and the screen's totally black. The funny thing is that it isn't by any means locked up. If I use Pocket Controller to dial in, I can use it in a normal way. So it seems it's something that works on the monitor driver. Has anybody else seen this? I have the latest WM6 image.
I think it may be a hardware problem, not a driver problem. You should send it to O2 support.
Thanks for the suggestion. But since they are in Hongkong, and I am in Norway I'm at least going to do a hard reset and run it a few days without the five billion programs I have on it (SPB stuff and lots of other things). Especially since it didn't happen the first weeks I had it, and I have steadliy installed new software. But if that doesn't help, I'm gonna contact Expansys and see what we can arrange.
Just to keep this updated, I have now been running it on the last WM5 ROM for four days, and not once seen the above mentioned problem. I'm gonna do a week, then I will reflash the WM6 image and run that on only the bare essentials (like now: NetRemote, Pocket Hosts, Derago dNote and the O2 plus program suite). The first day I even had an automated script send me E-mail on the account where I have E-mail warnings through SMS every minute for around three hours. Not once did it do anything but wake politely up from suspend and work as it should. Which should be a good sign that something in the WM6 ROM or one of the gazillion programs I installed is the guilty party.
Hello,
I can't find anything usable and simple enough. Basically I want to achieve the following:
I have a monthly plan where I pay 20 Euro and get 100 minutes to use (all networks, all daytimes etc.). O2 charges / calculates incrementally, i.e. basing on the 60/10 "taktung" (they "charge" you for the first started minute and then for every 10 seconds).
Now, how can I track how many minutes I've used so far / how many are left?
The timer could either reset once a month or I could reset it manually.
The regular call timer doesn't work - it sums up the total time, but if you made four 15s long calls the call timer will show 1 minute, but your operator will charge you for 4 minutes.
I've also tried the LCMinutes, but it seems way too complicated. Any other suggestions?
try batterystatus now known as homescreen plusplus basic:
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_def_im_cs.htm
you get an sms counter, too.
Something like this?
I've divided the minutes into ticks, since you pay per 10 seconds there are 6 ticks in a minute.
Each time you click "sim.call" 6 ticks are entered and every 10 seconds another tick is added.
please note i've changed the 10 seconds to 5 so you don't have to wait that long.
When you click Sim end the ticks are added to the rest and calculated
Also the program doesn't do anything, think of it as a proof of concept

My wife and I both got Telenav a few days ago and so far we really like it, but we've been hit on more than one occasion already where it refuses to calculate directions and just errors out with a "cannot connect to server" message. It appears to be a problem on Telenav's end, since it hits both our phones at the same time and system reboots don't help (only waiting an arbitrary amount of time, like 30 minutes, can resolve the issue).
Has anybody else experienced this? It has affected me nearly 50% of the time I have tried to use the program so far. I absolutely love it when it works, but if it's going to be this unreliable all the time then it isn't worth paying a monthly fee to keep it.
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I thought it might be a satellite problem but my google maps seems to work just fine
Happened to me too. Not acceptable for $10/month. Anybody knows how to cancel? They don't make straight forward, I think you have to call them, can't do online.
It's been a day or two and I haven't had any problems since I posted this thread, so I'm going to hold out for at least 30 days and see what my experience is like over a longer time frame.
I REALLY like this program otherwise, so I'm praying that it was a one-time fluke on their server earlier this week that won't repeat itself. I'll update this thread after a few weeks of using it every day to say if I've had any more problems.
guys here is a list of little nags that i have, i have tried everything to try and fix them, flashed every radio and rom with no success, and tried changing every setting on the phone. id be so grateful to get any of these fixed.
1) latest version of Swype (v2.0) with skin crashes frequently, i am able to use the keyboard but no text is entered, to solve this i must switch back to the full keyboard and then back to Swype
2) opera says a download is completed, when the file is launched it is for example 300kbs and will not launch, when i download the same file again the file is downloaded and is for example 8mb, the file then opens. Double click to zoom also doesn't work for me on certain websites, for example BBC
3) there is NO solution to this, i have looked high and low for this, my internet connection disconnects very frequently, i have tried every single option to no avail, the internet disconnects very frequently if HSDPA is enabled (supported by my payment plan) and fairly often if disabled. put simply, this makes internet browsing a royal pain in the backside
4) after reading so many good things about the battery life of the phone i convinced myself it must have been a bad battery. bought a second official one - not cheap, even worse. 15 minutes of web use with all data services disabled in a strong reception area will drain roughly 20% of the battery, have tried all sorts of power management cabs and tweaks. ive drained the battery and charged it fully going on 8 times now.
5) a calendar appointment is created which lasts the whole day (a birthday), no reminder is set, so i dont appreciate it when i get reminded at 12o'clock at night when im sleeping
6) the weather is set to download every 3 hours, so why does it download every 20 mins?
im not complaining guys, honestly this is the best phone ive ever had and i recomment it to everyone, but some of the issues i have truly are annoying. id greatly appreciate ANY help in regards to any of the issues above
thanks
1 - i had trouble with the latest swype (the pale grey one? silvery coloured?) i went back to the dark one, it was unuseable (cant seem to find out how to bring up its version number, , the cab just says swype.cab, , , heh. So i'd say try get an earlier version, Mine works lovely.
2 - move the opera cache to the sd card, and clean it now n again. I have a lot of that kind of trouble with podcasts from bbc, 15 meg or so, , seems to help with the cache on sd.
3 - dont really know about the network details. sorry.
4 - i DO know that if you live on teh edge of the decent signal area, your phone jumping between 3g/hsdpa and edge/gprs will eat your battery. find comm manager and switch off the 3g button (if you have one) when you dont need fast access, can vastly improve battery, and email and other syncs dont need 3g most of teh time, only browsing.
5 - thats probably outlook adding the default "the day before" reminder, (or maybe the htc one works the same as the outlook one) either way, you have to manuall edit the appointment to set the reminder to no reminder.
6 - it will download if you linger on the weather tab for a second or so when swiping. Gives the impression that it is always updating.
Hope some of them at least help!
sam
thanks for the fast reply, not the first time too
1) ok ill uninstall swype and install the older one, hope this gets fixed as i prefer this layout
2) thanks - i have moved the opera cache to the sd card
3) my operator is tmobile uk, HSDPA is supported and so is 3g, i have unlimited data plan, the connection will drop after a couple mins, normally less, if HSDPA is disabled, the connection is slower but more stable, but in the end, the connection will drop
4) ive disabled HSDPA because atm its unusable, i do indeed have that 3g button and is always off, my connection is always on G, still 20% battery loss after 15 mins surfing
5) i mentioned that i set it to no reminder, what do you mean?
6) that makes sense - thanks
if you have any ideas how to solve number 3 id really appreciate it
I had the same issue with Virgin UK (uses Tmobile as you are aware) I flashed to 1.66 rom and my problems went away - battery life as much better also, hope it helps
thanks for your reply
i have also flashed to official 1.66 rom, the problem didnt change at all
i even tried different radios with this rom
any other ideas?
thanks
backup before you do the swype change, if you use a lock password, i believe some version of swype can affect that? (i dont use one so i wouldn't know, there are threads on it)
about outlook and the reminder thing, i'm not really sure of the details, but i've been syncing the same set of contacts and calendar with outlook for probably 6 or 7 years, and several times ive come across a situation where you set up an app, or event or something, and set no reminder, and it goes off at midnight the day before - the setting is actually 'one day' and the day starts at midnight, d'oh.
How it comes to be that it doesn't get saved i haven't pinned down, but it generally seems to be after a hard reset/complete wipe and resync. It often (not always) also creates duplicate birthday reminders.
This has happened to me from office 2000 right through to 2k7, and on different phone OS's, and different sync programs but it doesnt happen all the time.
(bit non specific, sorry)
it sounds to me like an outlook related problem, but i dont use outlook at all to sync anything to my phone
i still dont have a clue why i cant double click to zoom on certain websites, bbc is the one i look at the most its very annoying
Yea i hate the no double click on bbc site . Must be something about how its constructed i guess. , , cuts coming next year, it'l fall appart....

Your battery should not behave like this and you should stop draining and charging the battery because you will ruin it and I suspect that you may have already done damage.
The batteries need a good few weeks of use to reach their max usable capacity and to achieve this charge it as often as you can for as long as you can. Nothing more, nothing less. No draining, cycling, conditioning of any sort. Just use it and keep it on charge.
I have mine on charge always at home and in the car and I have never got below 40% during the day and I'm a heavy user of the internet.
I have two backup power packs and have needed them only once when I was away for two days and couldn't easily charge.
thanks for your reply, i will do this for the battery, ill report back if it helps
thanks
anyone have a clue?
thanks in advance

I experience the same problem (frequent loss of internet connection). I then shut down data connection and immediately re-enable it to turn it back on. This works, but it's annoying and a definite let-down for any smartphone, especially our powerful HD2.
I can't believe nobody has a solution for this. Apparently not even HTC does.
Anyone???
im glad im not alone, there are many many people with the same issues, whoever finds a fix is a saint!
My battery seems fine since i dropped a radio version and can now lost 3+ days with a lot of use and everything downloading automatic.
there are only two things that annoy me, slow/ lag when texting on the keypad and finally the random ghost typing
could you mention what operator youre using and where youre located?
perhaps your radio would be suitable for mine too
Make sure your birthday reminders are set to "none" and not "0 minutes".
I had this problem with birthdays also. They seemed to revert back to 0 mins when i flashed my phone and re-synced my contacts wo had to go through them and set from 0 min to none. Pain in the neck but better than being woken up at midnight!

I contacted the HTC customer service via their website and this is the reply I got from them:
This could be a driver conflict and we recommend to try a hard reset on it make sure that you back up all your data before the reset. If the problem still going on after this then contact us in this line +44 8458900079 and we will send your device to be repaired.
Does this make any sense? It almost seems to good to be true. My phone is fresh out of the box, been using it for about two weeks now with a standard 1.66 ROM. The data disconnect problem has been there since day one. I kinda feel like they recommend a hard reset no matter what the problem is
Anyway, I've read about other people having the same problem as cgrec92 and I but... is this an universal problem or are there lost of users out there who have no data connection problem?
that's really useful information thanks for posting that ill definitely keep in mind that i can send it off to get repaired, although keep in mind most people who have done this say nothing changes, from all I've read, tmobile customers are the most affected, i have done hard resets before but they em nothing, I'm going to try mtty to completely format the phone, maybe its something left over from the tmobile stock rom? anyways ill try that and report back
By the way: I'm on 3 network in Denmark.
i have used mtty and flashed artemis 5.0 with radio 2.06 as the rom recommends
have had some connection dropouts still although less common
what i have found though is that in connection setup, right click and click on update database, equip the new settings
not minimizing opera seems to keep the internet from dropping out too
