Since I've loaded the 2.25 ROM I've noticed that after the phone has been in standby mode for a while and I reactivate it the signal will show as the same as when I last turned it off. Not until I reenter my password will it refresh and show me that there is currently no signal. Then it will have x's and never connect until I switch to fight mode and then off of flight mode.
This is really frustrating. Is this typical? Is there anyway to fix it so that it shows what the phone signal actually is when you reactivate the device? And is there any way other than going in and out of flight mode to regain the signal?
Thanks everyone,
Todd
Woops....I meant Cingular 8125 2.25 ROM

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.
F.
when I turn my XDA II in flight mode, the service light still blinks as if my phone is still on, in order for me to get it to stop blinking and saying the phone is on I have to figit around with it such as trying to make an outgoing call, then about a minute later it realizes I shut the phone in flight mode. Also randomly when I'm using my phone sometimes it will come out of flightmode and try to find a service connection. Does anyone have these same issues as I?

I have the same problem...
even when it goes in flight mode, if you soft reset your device, my phone will be back ON
hope someone can help
I found a way to fix, you need to use 1.17 radio rom not 1.18, I uploaded the rom in the downloads section @ zevink.com
Thanks
it worked
just a note for info:
don't be surprised if you have an intermittent reconnection problem in gprs using v1.17. the way out is a soft reset.
in xda II, v1.17 & v1.18 radio roms have these problems of gprs reconnect & flight mode respectively. interestingly, Qtek users have no such problems.
most xda II users use radio rom v1.08, v1.10, etc. not the v1.17 & v1.18!
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?
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?
So, my brother and I have been running MoDaCo 1.1 core for a couple days now.
My phone has stopped connecting to the mobile network. All it says when I try to connect is "Standby for connecting to mobile network" with a green checkbox. I also notice now when I select the checkbox to connect it turns green instantly and shows that standby message. Before it would take a couple seconds to connect and turn green.
I have tried changing the mode of operation and it still doesn't want to connect. There is no 1x or EVDO in the notification bar. Wifi and GPS still work fine.
My brother's phone is still working fine. I have no idea what the problem can be.
Anybody else having this problem with MoDaCo 1.1?
I think that it has something to do with airplane mode. I enabled airplane mode yesterday, then turned it off. I didn't realize my data wasn't working after that since I don't use it while I'm at home. I am not sure if that is exactly the problem, just trying to think about how it could have stopped working.
I've noticed mine will do this at random on the MoDaCo 1.1 ROM. Every now and then I'll look at my phone and realize my EV symbol at the top is gone and I have no network connection. When this happens both the option in Settings and the small on/off widget on one of my home screens say it's still turned on. If I turn it off and back on, then I just get the "Standby for connecting to mobile network" message too. The only way I've found to get it to work again is to reboot the phone.
FYI this same problem happens to me with the stock ROM, even when it wasn't rooted. I've noticed it only happens when you turn airplane mode on, and then off.
Hmmm...I never touch airplane mode and I never saw this happen once in the month that I had the phone with the stock ROM. Maybe my problem is unrelated then.
Even when I reboot my phone it still doesn't work. I have tried messing around with the widgets turning things on and off multiple times and still nothing can get it working again.
I just went back to an old nandroid backup from before I put MoDaCo 1.1 on the phone and it seems to be working again. I'm going to put 1.1 on again. I'll use it for a while and try to recreate the problem to figure out exactly what it is.
Sprint/HTC has to fix that. it's a bug.
