Hi all,
I've had my MDA Pro a few days now and I'm really impressed with most of it (except the size, I still can't quite get used to it's wider dimensions...!) - the screen is AMAZING and is one of the big things stopping me going back to a QVGA screen!
I've tried video calls on it - BUT - they don't seem to work.
I've had a mate call me from the "3" network and it worked fine - we could see and hear each other without problems.
When I call him however all he gets is a "incoming call" notification (and not an Incoming Video Call notification) and all he hears is "digtial white noise" - ie, the sound of a FAX machine!
I have had 2 and 4 bars when I've tried making calls, but only 2 bars when receiving so I know I've got WCDMA coverage.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Between my wife and myself we have the \jasjar and MDA Pro and on different networks. No problems at all! But I have experienced this exact problem before when I had a Sony Ericsson V800 and called a relative on '3'. He could call me no probbs, we saw each other and everything. But when I called him, white noise for him but notification that he was receiving a video call.
Bottom line: It was never resolved so I took the phone back. Try a video call in a t-mobile shop, if it works try a video call in say vodafone or with someone else. This will tell you if you're phone is faulty or wether the '3' network is truly incompatible with some phones/network providers. Or PM me with your number and we'll try a quick 10 second test both ways.
Thanks for the offer - I might take u up on it later on...
I've got some gibbon from tech supp calling me today to try and sort it out (I think he mentioned something about not pressing the little "turn video calls" button)
If that doesn't fix it then I'll be swapping numbers with ya!
Cheers
I have also had problems going from O2 to THREE with video calls...
I managed to call an Orange VIdeo phone and we both got a picture, they can hear me, but I get no sound
Calling from THREE to Orange works fine all round.
I couldnt get O2 to THREE to work at all.
Is there a general problem with network incompatibility here?
Video calling from T Mobile UK to any network is fine, as long as both partys are setup for the service, and have 3G coverage. and both handsets are compatible
Hi,
I've got an MDA Vario that refuses to make or receive GSM calls, yet GPRS works fine. I've swapped SIM's, Flashed the firmware, and yet if I make a call I just the error tones, and if I ring the phone I get a message saying "This phone is unable to receive calls now".
Any thoughts on what I can try to fix it?
Thanks!

Hi guys, ive had my Vario II for roughly two months but have hardly used it until last two days.
Today i used it and it was fine until I was trying to synchronize my contacts from another phone via Outlook onto the Vario.
However the problem is that since synchronizing I am unable to call out or recieve calls.
All i get is "Dialling" and after a few seconds recieve a ping noise three times with a message "Call Ended". I have tried everything but nothing is working.
Btw I am on T-Mobile
Any help would be great cheers.
this seems to be a problem with vario 2 is 3g mode switch to 2g mode and you'll find that it connects and dials every time. I presume this will be fixed when t mobile release a rom upgrade (or if you are adventurous flash to the latest English radio and full rom available on XDA)
to switch to 2g mode easily download bandswitch there is a thread here by Daniel herrero and it works well

I installed a few apps (including .Net Compact Framework) on my wizard and then uninstalled everything by: Settings\System\Clear Storage
Now when i get calls, i cant hear anything what the callers say.
Even worse, when i make calls i cant even hear the other phone ring!
I can hear only if i activate speaker....
There is no problem with the SIM card or the service provider.
Please help
