Need advice: Can't receive calls until I make one myself

Hi
I've been following this forum for a while and you guys seem pretty competent. I believe you are my best shot at fixing my rather serious problem...
I have several simcards, and two of them are showing very weird behavior in my Qtek S100. I am running the latest official ROM for my specific Danish Magician, the MA_DANG_WWE_10600_115_10500_SHIP.exe, downloaded from this site.
When using one of these bad simcards, I can't receive calls until I have made one myself. All incoming call are sent directly to voice mail. Restart the phone and I have to make a call again! Seems to me like my Magician doesn't log fully on to the cellular network?
The rest of the simcards are working fine. The big problem is that one of the card making trouble is the one I am paying $50 on each month
I was under the impression that this problem could be related to some of my simcards being 16K only, so I had one of them replaced today, but still no go. Of course I could have received yet another 'old' card, but what are the odds?
I have done a number of soft/hard resets and ROM/radio up/downgrades, but it doesn't change a thing. Any thoughts? Thanks!

No Video Calls with Trinity?

I have a Trinity and my phone provider is vodafone Germany. I tried everything to get a Video call to work but it just doesn't work. I have the 3g symbol on the display all the time and I live in Cologne which has UMTS everywhere. But if I call a number (my wifes number same provider and standing next to me so she has UMTS too) it seems as it should be ringing at the other end but it doesn't even ring there ...
Did anyone manage to make a video call with the trinity?

I HAVE THE SAME problem... I was thinking was signal problem.... but....
btw I can't send and receive mms too )))

Video Call and MMS works on mine =)

Works here...
video calling works with mine (O2, UK)

I couldnt send mms too. so i completely resetted (hard reset) and followed the vodafone mms instructions. Now it works. But still no video call.

Still no video calls on german vodafone?
so no one has managed to make a video call with the trinity on vodafone germany?

Today I made my first video call with T-Mobile Netherlands, so it does work.

still no video calls
I tried with my trinity with several vodafone germany cards and it does not work. It seems my device is defective.

Tried it last week with a video-call to my brother (he using a SE K800i on Orange), and it seems to work great Had to change the dial-pad back to the default HTC one though, cause the M$ one doesn't show the buttons to initiate a video-call

i have made a videocall with t-mobile nl, but the other person did not see me.. i could see him on my screen., and myself in the lower corner. And no, we were not filming eachother. ;-)
what about that ? we both were on umts network, standing next to eachother.
is it something on my phone i forgot to turn on ?
i have a orange spv m700, (yes officially unlocked, thnx to the nice man in the orange shop!)
he has a nokia N73

It seems the Vodafone network in germany does not "see" that my trinity is on UMTS. If I try to use Vodafone TV it says that I am currently not on UMTS which I am.... very strange... any help is much appreciated

I am having the same problem with Telsra in Australia. I have the 3G symbol, the service says it is on UMTS Telstra, can browse the net with HSDPA, everything else seems fine.

Maybe a lame question, but you have the video call service enabled by your operator/contract? Maybe you require some settings on the phone to be recognized as video call enabled/ to operate on the network?

MMS
I can not send MMS too. It drives me really crazy!!!
I have a dutch KPN provider

Since no one has answered this question yet: Yes, it works, albeit not to my satisfaction.
I'm using a Vodafone compact GPS (which should be identical to the HTC 3600=Trinity) on Vodafone Germany on the other (dark) side of the Rhine with good UMTS coverage (at least two bars). When phoning to, say, a Samsung UMTS mobile phone, I receive good picture quality and reasonable sound quality. However, the other side fails to receive decent sound; what is arriving there is regularly sort of "chopped" and hardly understandable. I'm not sure about the reason for this, but I suspect that it is my "Trinity" that is misbehaving (too slow? inadequate configuration settings?), as the Samsung's video arrives nicely and has good quality. It could also be the other way, of course, or it could be a Vodafone network problem.
Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with the video call quality on the Trinity?
PS: Hello to everybody, I'm new to this forum, and I apologise for any misbehaviour in advance as it is not intended , and yes, I have used the "search" option .

A hard reset involves deleting all data, right? I'm not looking forward to configuring the ppc again, really. But I guess it's worth a try, as the AEG-principle hardly ever fails...

Hi Elfriede. Welcome to the forum. Case you are german (der Name klingt danach) try this forum too: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/forumdisplay.php?f=174
I sold my P3600 which I had bought from amazon just for the not working video calls. I then bought a Vodafone compact GPS... guess what... the video calls didn't work too. The guys at vodafone (which I had phoned 10 times for this problem and which had told me it must be my p3600's fault) just forgot to switch UMTS on!!! Now it works (I lost a few 100 € just because of vodafone-no-competence-service...)

Enable video calls - Cingular 8525

Hi,
I've bougth unlocked Cingular 8525 and connected it to My local operator which support Video calls.
There is any option to enable video calls? (install tytn rom? or some extended rom)
Thanks ahead,
Omri

Same here
spv 3100 from orange, aku 2.3
r1.16.00.00 G32.53.7018.01h.
I search for info about missing video calls on wiki and forums, only what i found on wiki is:
Is the Extended ROM a must, or can I live without it also ?
You can live without it, but generally it fixes some things (video calling, skins, keyboard, operator settings, etc...).

...nothing more in hermes section, on forums also nothing clear response usualy same problem without no response
I downloaded different skin phones including original htc tytn and in HTeakC i turned on phone skin. When i turn on thc tytn skin video button is on the same place what speed dial and that double button is flickering.
More: when some one is trying make video call to me phone goes out from sleep and..... nothing. Other person hears only signal of waiting....
I also didn't had smart dial, but that thx to wiki wasn't problem.
But I didn't made any hard reset. If I would have to probably i will go directly to wm6, soon there will be xda-live3

If you have a Cingular 8525 you DO NOT have video calling. The 8525 doesn't have the front camera that is needed for video calling. Sorry

I know that i dont have front camera
But i ask if i can add video call's feature so i'll be able to see the other side or use the back camera.
Thanks,
omri

Some of us are having this exact same problem after upgrading to the LVSW WM6 roms. Don't know why as some others with exactly the same setup are saying that they work fine!
I wonder if this could be network operator linked instead?
edit: sorry, im using a TyTN and on T-Mobile UK

Roger's disabled video calling in TyTN? Fix?

Just was curious if anyone had a solution to how I can enable the video calling feature in my Tytn.. Rogers wireless disabled it for some reason. I dont want to upgrade to WM6.. just to enable video calling in WM5..
DO i need to copy a cab file from another EXT_ROM?
Can i just copy the cab file over and that is all???
Help please!

Does Rogers even support video calling? This may be why they have disabled it in your Hermes!?

Yes they do.. since 2 months ago.. I have a Samsung A706 with video calling enabled ( been using it for 2 months )... I think one of the tech guys told me that the TyTN wasnt certified yet for the network... However I know people using unlocked TyTNs on Roger's and their video calling works fine!..
The rep pretty much said that they disabled it so they wouldnt get a million tech support calls asking why sometimes they can video call and sometimes they cant..

Flash a different ROM to it then see if it works?

I presume that you are referring to a Rogers-provided TyTN that you just got in the last week or two (Rogers just started selling the TyTN -- just in time for HTC to end-of-life it!) These are being shipped with WM5.0 AKU 3.3.1 (I believe). Likely they just disabled a registry entry on the units they are providing.
I can't test it for you because we don't have 3G in the Ottawa area (yet).

Video calling only works on Vision ready phones only

actually no i am using video calling on my softbank X01HT. HTC TyTn is suppose to work with the video calling feature. u might need to unlock your phone and get a new ROM for it to make it work if it doesnt

Are you sure its disabled? or they just won't let you add the feature on your phone? even when i got video calling put on my plan, the guy said they don't support it for vid calling, I told them to load it on anyways and if I lose $5 I lose, he put my phone down as a samsung a706. I would try to add the feature online and try...of if u just want to test it, and ur in the GTA, PM me the number and I will test it with you.

I know people that got it working on the TyTN but billing was all messed up and they got charged as if it were data or something.

Yeah I thought rogers may screw something up...but surprisingly they didn't do that bad...they charged me for text messages that they shouldn't have...but other than that everything is good.

I had no problems adding the vision plans.. I havent got them yet.. monday should be the day. So if i have the vision plan on them..it should work right? does Rogers actually disable the front facing video camera??
Kinda confused now lol.. was under the impression that the video camera was totally disabled..

Rogers disabled video calling from the firmware. Only way i can see around it is to reflash. I upgraded mine to WM6, and Vid Calling is working just fine.

Has anyone checked to see what Radio Rom Rogers released with the new TYTN
I was on another post and somebody was asking how he could upgrade to his buddys rom v1.42.00.00. His friend just got a new TYTN from Rogers.
That would be a radio rom and not an OS and the guy was made aware, but regardless I was just wondering if there is a new Radio Rom out there that Rogers has released with this new product.

if only you asked a few hours ago. I just got my TyTn tonight, but upgraded everything as soon as I got home. I can check tomorrow when i get to work (i work in a rogers store) if no one figures it out by then.

u mean you will check it out to see if it has video calling on wm5 when you get back to work??
What wm6 rom seems to be the best/most stable

your cooked wm6 rom that you loaded (according to your profile) might not have changed the radio.. MOST cooked roms do not include a radio and the phone will use the existing one.. just go to start > settings > "System" tab > Device Information and it will list the radio version..

v1605 Video Phone Not There

Hi guys
I've just received my third v1605 from Vodafone (1st backlight broke on screen replaced under warranty, 2nd got run over by a car ) in three months. The latest one came with a new sim as my old one was destroyed in the accident. I've had the SIM activated and all my old settings reinstated from what I can tell.
I've got access to 3g so can access my ISP email and the web. I can make voice calls and send/receive SMS. One thing that is different to the previous two phones of this model I've had is the video calling function. The button is on the faceplate as before but when pressed it only opens a voice softphone screen. The software phone has no option at all for video calling. It looks like a completely different phone app to previously, certainly not the one shown in the manual. I've spoken to VF customer services who haven't a clue to be honest, although they do say there are 3g problems in the London area which may be the problem. (I can use 3g data services no problem and connect with HSDPA from what I can see (H Icon))
Any thoughts on how I can reinstate the correct software phone?
ROM version 2.07.161.1
ROM Date 02.06.07
Radio Version 1.32.00.00
Protocol Version 32.65.7020.09H
Model No HERM200
Cheers for any help you can offer.
Charles

Welcome to the forum.
I don't use the video function, but do have the same phone version (with vodafone) as you. One thing I do remember when playing with the phone when new is that if you hard reset, then soft reset to disable the vodafone customisations then you do lose the video functionality.
So, if yours is the stock vodafone rom you may need to hard reset to get back the video call function.
If it is stock rom but without the vodafone customisations you won't get video call function.
If it's the stock rom maybe you should try a hard reset - it might bring back the function - BUT make sure you back up all your data first because it'll be erased with the reset.
Also, if you are still using the stock vodafone rom, why not try one of the wm6 roms from this forum (I think Schaps 3.54 is one of the best). But before you do, please read lots (the stickies on these forums) especially about CID/SIM unlocking and olipro-2.10 before you start. A good place to start is mrvanx's guide.
Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers ach2. I'll investigate as you suggest.
