I will save you the trouble of waiting forever for a reply. You are in the wrong forum. This forum is for the wizard/cingular 8125.

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,
SP111
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).
A friend of mine has an SPV M3100 (Tytn) and it shows an U sign in the Menubar my Trinity shows a G3 sign!
Anybody knows how to change that? I prefer the U because i'm talking about UMTS not 3G!
FYI U and 3G are the same thing....
but you can try our hermes thread.. these might work for you... the cabs for the easy install should be on the last page of the thread

I have a Hermes 200 and have the same problem you are describing in certain places like at home and work. Although its helped only a little, I upgraded the radio to 1.50 and that improved reception a little bit. go to start->settings>phone and click on band and make sure both are set to auto.
What cell phone company do you use ?

Hi, I've tried searching about this and I'm really confused.. I hope someone can help me..
The video calling function is not working on my newly bought TyTn (I'm with Rogers right now), and I'm wondering if it will work if I upgraded it to WM6 (It's currently 5)?
Also, I can only find the upgrade for AT&T8525 on HTCs website, is TyTn the same as 8525? Or I can't apply this upgrade to TyTn? I'm afraid the phone will just stop working altogether after I upgrade it...
If anyone has any experience in this, please help me out.. Thanks alot in advance!
TyTn an 8525 are brother and sister. 8525 does not have the front camera. For a ROM upgrade, you're better off with one of the roms put together by the fine cooks here on XDA.
Video calling will not function unless you have a good 3G service.
Thanks for your reply!
Rogers provide a 3.5G service so as long as I upgrade the ROM, Video calling would work?
but do I need to get Rogers settings somehow transfered to the new ROM?
I want the answer too! can someone please help..
To be able to connect to 3g and the like you will need the operator settings.
Have a look through here and see what you can find.

i have my tytn 1 WM 5 for about 6 month now, and since then i have this problem,the calls either incoming or outgoing disconnet most the time
its rare if a phone call didnt disconnect
when i asked my tytn provider by the phone he said its propably from the network it self.
i called the network provider "vodaphone" they introduced 3G broadband to their service recently here in egypt, and they said they cant find any problem and i should change the mobile as a test to see if that will happen also.
but i have my suspesion about that " U " icon and the "G" one
i feel its related to them as mostly they seem to be changing from one to another during the disconnection, i dont know if during the call or befor it ir what .. or may be im mistaken !
i dont know what to do
format my tytn ? i did that and didnt help
change the mobile to another 3G mobile to test the network ?
call my HTC provider again ?
please any one help me

i said but on the net there is alot of WM 6 for tytn , they said its for Urope version not here
