C8525 1.34 Orginal Rom drops calls, any solutions? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I have a Cingular 8525 with the orginal 1.34 rom installed. Every now and then I get a call and when I click answer it drops the call immedatly(might have something to do with the LOCK screen but I dont see how). Is this a problem with the 1.16 radio rom, or is this something wrong with my personal phone?

What kind of software do you have running on it?

NOt familiar with remoteprotect.. Something that uses the data connection? If so, perhaps some possibility of a problem there?

remoteProtect is a tool for detecting SIM swaps in the event you phone is stolen. It uses SMS to send alerts, so I dont see how that could interfer with voice calls.

Agreed, I don't either.. I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.. Unfortunately, I only just got my 8525 yesterday, so I haven't had the chance to find some of the idiosynchrosies (boy did I misspell that) yet of it..

I turned off the screen LOCK, so I'll see if that had something to do with it.

End Call Button Doesn't work?!

Hi, I recently flashed my wizard with a xplore core2.0n.
i noticed with not only this version but a few other rom's i have flashed, that when i try to end a call, it won't end.
i push the soft-button "End call" and i also push the red phone button. i even 'X' out the phone application, which will still keep the phone call going.... its real annoying because i have to power off my phone to end the call.
i havent been able to fully reproduce how it happens..... anyone have any suggestions???

I never had this happen on my Wizard but used to happen all the time on my Hermes. The thing that seems to have fixed it on that device was a radio upgrade. Which radio are you using in your Wizard?
I have the smae problem. I was using faria wm6 and cingular 2.25. I just loaded faria 3.3. I am going to test this for a while. I was also missing and dropping tons of calls.
ahhh.... i thought it was just my wizard that was doing that!!! i was getting soo aggravated because people would call and my phone would never ring or say missed call.
have you found a version that is stable and works well(radio/wm)? at this point, i am thinking about going back to wm5, because i cant stand missing calls.
does anyone know if its the radio, or wm?
i have tried radio 2.61, which dropped and never rang many calls. i am running the cingular 2.25 now, which seems slightly better... but not sure how much i am missing... end-talk still doesnt work (on occassion).
I did notice that when i use windows media player, or some other app, it will occassionally not accept calls.
has anyone else seen a version that doesnt have this problem?
thanks
Cingular has problems running WM6 w/o the 2.19 T-Mo UK Radio
If you read the threads for the cooked ROMs, you'll notice that the cook recommends a radio ROM - and it's usually the 2.19 UK radio.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the TMobile UK ROM, OK to run on a Cingular US network?? if so, great! i will flash tonight!
From all reports it works fine. In fact, for WM6 it works better than the stock ROM.
My end call button was not working with the Cingular 2.25 Radio ROM and WM6.1 (TNT .19199). I also was missing calls and not receiving voicemail notifications. I flashed to the 2.19.11 Rom and everything now seems to be working. Thanks.

Tired of the Wizard losing calls...

I've been losing many calls with my Wizard. The callers tell me that my phone rings and rings but I do not answer. I have voicemail disabled. I don't know if I'm losing SMS also but I haven't noticed it yet.
Some strange things that happened to me:
1) I was playing Final burn and noticed the classic slow downs that you see when you're about to receive an SMS or when your phone is ringing, but the phone did not ring. I kept playing and when I got home my father told me he called me many times, and I am sure it was during the time I was playing. It seems the phone was receiving the call but for some reason it did not ring.
2) I was near some speakers and heard the classic interference buzzing noise you hear when you're about to receive a call or SMS, it was constant, but the phone did not ring. I then took the phone and placed it up the speakers to make sure it was my phone and sure it was because the noise increased. I then turned the phone on and after two seconds it started ringing. I answered and the caller told me the phone rang many times before I answered.
This seems to be a power saving issue... I'm using IPL 3.08, SPL 3.08, GSM 2.47.11, OS 2.18.7.8 (spanish). Provider is Telecom Personal here in Argentina.
It is very annoying to come somewhere and hear "Hey I called you and you did not answer!!!" or worst yet, "Hey I called you many times during the day and you did not answer!!!"
It is a problem on the phone for sure because the provider does not say my phone isn't available, it just rings and rings.
Does anybody know what can I try to solve this? It is very annoying!!
Many thanks in advance!
Try updating your radio rom. I had the same problem with an older Radio rom like 2.07 or something then changed it to the latest one for my country (UK) and it works fine now. If you still get problems flash back to the orginal rom designed for your device.
here is the latest 2.69 radio:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Radio_Roms/faria 02.69.11.rar
Many thanks for the link. I just updated the ROM and will be testing it from now on... hope it fixes the problem!!
Its common for anyone with a Burned ROM.
there are many threads on it. mainly Cingular having issues, but I guess your provider can have them too.
Check around the Wizard forums here
Hello,
I have also problems with it.
I have T-Mobile NL (The Netherlands).
Still losing calls with 2.69.11...
Today, a friend of mine called me home and said "Hey I'm calling you to your cellphone and you don't answer!". I told him "Hmm please call me right now". He put the speakerphone and I heard through the land line that the phone was calling, but my phone did not ring. I turned it on and voila... it started ringing and I could accept the call. THIS IS VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY ANNOYING!!!!!!!!
Any clues, anyone??????? Should I try WM6? I don't want to reinstall my programs!! And there's no spanish version of WM6!! I'd hate to do that!!
Maybe I can try with a lower version of the radio??
Thanks!!
When you say you "turn it on", what exactly do you mean?

Unless I'm missing something here, I think that's generally the way it works -- your phone has to be ON before it will ring.
I'm pretty sure there is a spanish WM6 ROM floating around...in the WM thread
I think what he meant by 'turn it on', is waking-up the phone from suspend/sleep mode. Read his first post, regarding the speaker-thing.
Anyway, I'm not sure about spanish ROM, but isn't it the most stable Radio is 2.19? I have read somewhere, that some of these newer version of radio has this problem.
least troublesome among the radio's is "2.19", so i suggest download it and test it out
Im using 2.25 radio which was included in wizard love. It works perfectly that i know of anyway i used to get calls that would ring for 2 rings then nothing and people said they called but no reply so i upgraded my radio rom and it was fine. Make sure you have a good signal aswell because if you only have one bar sometimes its not good enough to recieve a call.
With "turn it on" yes, I meant pressing the power button to wake up the phone. Of course I did not meant "turn it on" from a total off state. I'd have to wait for it to boot if I do that... and it takes around a minute so the call would be lost anyway
I'll try 2.19 with the hope it will solve it... will post the results after a few days...
Thanks to all!!!
I checked the FTP and noticed that there are two radio versions for 2.19: UK and NL. What's the difference between them? The size difference is big... 2.7mb vs 2.2mb. Telecom Personal works on 850/1900 so which one should I try?
Thanks!!
Marton
Any clues?
I've noticed that i dont get any calls when the gprs connection is alive and transferring data (check email/web etc.)... anyone else confirm this?
I don't use GPRS... I lose calls without using it.
I installed 2.19UK two days ago. I will test it for a few days to see if this version loses calls as well...
Well, after two weeks of testing, I am glad to say that I have had no reports of unanswered calls so I think my phone will live the rest of its life with 2.19UK.
Yieeeeeeeeeeeeee-Haw!!! Now I DO have a phone!!!

G4 Wizard - No Signal

I have a G4 T-mobile Vario (Wizard) that doesn't want to perform any of its "phone" functions. i.e. no calls in/out or text messages etc. The phone itself is on and is showing a full signal but when you try make a call it will start dialing and almost instantaneously hang up again, occasionally with some beeps to imply the call has failed. Has anybody come across anything similar? As far as I know the unit hasn't taken any knocks and all other functions are working okay.
Any help would be appreciated
*Update* Even the GPRS works! I don't understand!
similar problem
im almost having the same problem, mine goes from full bars to zero and back again while the cpu stays at 100% with no signal, yet somehow i can still get edge and connect to the net?
Have you tried flashing to a later radio version, like 2.71? It may solve your problems
ive tried 4 different radio versions.. it seems to me that the software that runs (service?) on the phone at startup that enables it to make voice calls keeps crashing and restarting and ive tried this on 5 different roms too and same result, it usually takes 5 - 10 soft resets, but it pops up and sometimes keeps crashing indefinitely and sometimes it eventually connects.. any ideas?

phone is blacklisted. imei banned
imei blacklisted?
Hi,
I am having the same problem as the first poster of this thread.
My phone is a T-Mobile Vario
SPL 2.021.0001
IPL 2.021.0001
Radio 02.19.11
Protocol version 4.1.13.09
Rom version 2.21.2.6 WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Basically, I have what appears to be full signal strength. I make a phone call and it says "dialing" then immediately says "Call Ended" with a 00.00 time for the call.
If the imei is blacklisted is there any way I can get it un-listed?
Or is there some other fix I can use to get it working?
Regards,
John
What is a Blacklistet IMEI? Is it a stolen Device?
G4 with no phone ability
Hi,
Still have the problem posted in my earlier post.
I have tried to contact T-Mobile here in the UK using the "contact us" page, rang the numbers - nothing!!! Their phone system does not work.
They have a phone number listed where you supposedly can register your phone as lost or stolen so they can blacklist it, but the phone number does not work! If you are on T-Mobile you supposedly can phone them using 150 but that doesn't work either! So I can't phone them to ask if my imei number is on their list and if so how I go about getting it removed.
(I bought the phone off e-bay last week, and guess what? The seller hasn't responded to my e-mails asking if he ever made any phone calls using this phone!)
So at present I have a semi BRICK, the PDA part works perfectly well, just the problem with the phone bit.
If anybody has any ideas about what I could / should do next regarding the phone, I would like to hear them!
Regards,
John
Have you tried flashing to a new ROM? Its unlikely that it will work, but perhaps it will solve your problem.

Not getting calls often- the biggest problem :((

Same here man, it's been happening since last few days...the call at the other end cuts after a few rings but i don't get anything on my cellphone. I'm using onyx rom. I'll try today by changing the rom as i think it is the problem with his rom 4.16 .
I hope the problem goes away.
I used to get the problem a lot with my Cruise no matter what radio I used. Also on my Diamond earlier on. But have never had the problem on my Touch.
I'd suggest trying to downgrade/upgrade your Radio rom to a different version (or even the system rom), hopefully that'll fix the problem, if not. It could always be an actual hardware issue, might need to use that warranty.
lemme downgrade the ROM...coz..i m using the latest versions
I have the FUZE and was missing a TON of calls and having even more dropped calls. The reason was because I was having a SIM card failure. Calling customer support they were able to fix it right away. Send the updated data the sim card needed and all I had to do was soft reset the phone and I was good to go. I havn't missed a call or had any dropped calls since. Before I was probably missing 5-10 percent of my calls and 80-90 percent of the ones I was getting would get dropped anywhere between 2-20 minutes into the conversation. I really bugger... My suggestion is to call your customer support and have them run a network test on your SIM which should take them all of 20 seconds to diagnose and fix the issue.. if that's it!
good luck!
@appoos : have you tried upgrading your radio rom to ur current custom rom.. 3.21.90 is the best in my opinion n most ppl aswel! give it a try.. hope it'd help out!!

Problem with Radio 2.06.51.07 ?

I have installed the new rom.I am now having problems downloading my emails, the sameproblem I had after installing the patch that updated the radio. I can download once, but next time I try I get message "Error synching". The phone signal bars just turn to 3g and rotate then I get the message. If I do a soft reset I can download again. Works OK on Wifi.
I have also noticed some times when I phone someone they cant hear me but I can hear them. If I hang up and re call it`s Ok.
I have a stock unbranded HD2 on Vodaphone.
Any ideas please?
Nobody else havving problem with radio?
