Hello friends. I am having a problem with my TMobile MDA. My phone was out of use for about 3 months because the battery died. After I replaced the battery I flashed TNT19199 V2 Rom to my phone. It listed my Radio ROM as 2.25.11. The problem I am having is that when inside of my work I get barely any to no signal. When I go outside I get 3-5 bars.
What I usually do is put my phone in flight mode to save battery, then when I am leaving work I turn flight mode off. What happens is that my phone takes FOREVER to get a connection. Sometimes it won't even happen at all. One time I had driven home(25 mins) and the phone still didn't have a connection. When I turned flight mode on and then off again it connected right away. I tried upgrading to 2.71 radio rom but it did not help. Any ideas whats going on here? Im gonna try the Cingular 2.25.11 ROM when I get home tonight.

Does anybody have the following problem, I have the phone in my pocket and nobody can call me as it goes straight to voicemail. I then find out and try to make a call or send a text and the phone just keeps saying 'dialling...' then doensn't start to ring.
Is there any solution to this, this is the second Vario I have had and the only software installed is TomTom V5.1
Yes, I have the same problem. Qtek 9100. No extra software installed. Had it since day 1, though it took me a few days to figure out what was going on.
The radio part of the device basically gets hung. The icons all still show things as ok, signal strength is there, etc. though I don't think the signal strength varies anymore. Likewise, GPRS is hung up and mail, etc. isn't being checked anymore.
You can *sometimes* bring the phone back to life by switching into flight mode, then switching back out of it, but sometimes that fails too and you get hung in a weird state where some screens think you are in flight mode, but you can't switch out of it.
A reboot fixes it till the next time it silently and mysteriously flakes out for no apparent reason. Very frustrating, and in fact why I was browsing around the net looking for fixes or at least better workarounds tonight.
Stock Q-tek 9100
Rom 1.1.7.5
Rom date 9/22/05
Radio version 01.01.10
Protocol version 4.0.13.16
ExtROM version 1.1.7.105
After I picked up the MDA I noticed that occasionally, while attempting an EDGE connection, the radio would appear to reset. Signal bars would disappear and the dots under the antenna would appear. The data connection would never take place and as far as I could tell the radio reset. This occurred several times in the course of a day. So did a hard reset on the phone which I hadn't done since picking it up. Now the symptom appears to have changed. Instead of it appearing to reset, it appears to "stick". Indicated signal strength never changes, the data connection is never actually made and eventually I turn the radio off and back on again via flight mode. Again, this only seems to happen while attempting a data connection, either EDGE or GPRS.
I've written Tmo support but I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else or if it may be a problem with my specific phone. And never having had a problem like this before, should I take the phone back to the store and ask for a replacement or do I need to hear that from Tmo?
Thanks!
I have a Cingular 8125 on TMO network and have the basically the same problem. GPRS/EDGE would occasionally stop working. Once it begins to "hang", I would notice the radio icon lose the bars and the dots would appear. However, It would reset on its own after a minute or two. This happens a number of times a day. Annoying the crap outta me.
The MDA ships with an older version of the radio rom. Maybe it would help if you updated it.

yeah, that's the one. I'll see what Tmo has to say, I'm sure as hell not flashing a phone that's days old and well within the warranty period. In the off chance it's software, I did another hard reset and prevented it from installing the extrom stuff.
update: Customer support asked me to try another SIM, which I did. When that didn't help, they told me to bring it back and they'd give me another one. Hopefully that'll be the end of it.
hi,
have the same problem. I just "loose" the signal and it searches, searches .... and again. SR or flight mode on/off usually helps. but its really getting annoying. I have feeling it is in places where there is a weak signal (but just opinio, not a proven fact). Sometimes happens, sometimes not at all. Dont know what to do about it.
I've noticed the same with the Cingular 8125 on Cingular's network. The radio version is 1.09.11. I am wondering if the later radio version would make a difference?

I upgraded the Radio rom on my 8125 to 1.13.10. I *think* it helped, but to be honest, it still happens. I also now, as a habit, turn off GPRS by pressing the red button for 5 seconds. This seems to help a bit too.
It's really a crapshoot. There are times when I can stay connected to GPRS for hours and hours, while other days i would get kicked within minutes. When the 2.8.7.102 rom is officially released, I will load that in hopes of fixing this problem.
I've had this same problem for months no matter device I use. At first I thought it was because I was using non T-mobile branded phones, but since using devices like the T809 as a modem and the MDA I get the same problem, edge/gprs would connect and stop working/hang after while. Most likely its a network issue, and this didn't start happening to me until T-mobile released edge data service. I'm actually a sales rep for tmo and haven't heard anything from tech support.
I've not had it happen with 1.12.10 (I think) - NOT the 1.13 version, but the one before it. Flashed it the other day - perfect since. The stock T-Mo radio ROM did it once in a while, usually in a poor signal area.
Old Problem
This happened on my Treo 600 on T-Mobile. The problem seems to be city-specific, so it happened in Pasadena frequently but not in DC.
hi, i just got the tmobile MDA and everything works perfect, i dont seem to have the problem of the GPRS, the only problem i have is that the sound of the phone is too low. any suggestions?
P.S. whats the website to download updates and softwares for it?
thanks
PETER

Yep, that was my experience exactly, I haven't had a problem even once since flashing 1.12. Thought about trying 1.13 but didn't want to push my luck. The phone seems to be 100% now.
hi you all
I just bought a htc cruise and flashed it to English rom. but it doesn't work very well, so I want to go back. but how?
I'm using 6.1 german and radio 1.58.21.23 from bepe right now, but the radio thing is killing me. I don't have signal or very low, why is that so? my provider is sunrise.
BIG issue, there's almost no signal and the battery drains quickly! I can't phone or receive calls. i got no more battery over one night.
Please who lives or uses the same thing pls tell me how to fix it. I want to go back to 6.0 or solution to fix phone issue.
Thank you all so much who can evtl help me out, have a nice day
There are many threads about this problem...

Try to flash Murata radio...
hey, thank you so much, it did solve my problem with that russian stuff.
now i got 4 bars indoors and outdoors. see ya
I've no problems with mine, Radio 1.58.21.23 - Swisscom Mobile.
that's weird, but another problem:
My battery only holds like for 30 min. with original rom it holds like 10 hours and many days without screen backlight.
What's wrong with that now?
There are many things that can drain the battery.
1. you use Push Mail every 15 minutes or every hour?
2. is your 3G/data and your wireless line ever connected?
To test the battery you can use Battery Status plugin, in idle mode the battery must be around 25-35mA.
hi What is push mail? i haven't configured any mail service yet.
wireless and bluetooth are off for sure. There's only an icon with big E,
I assume that's a regular phone signal gms, no 3G
ok, if i turned that phone off in idle mode without backlight. it's about 5-8mA. As soon as I turn the screen on using that power button, it's going high up to 80mb.
That should be normal you say?
with 6.1 where is my GPRS? it seems not to be able to turned on.
NODATA doesn't work with 6.1.
thank you
Tmobile is very spotty at my school, i go to FAU in Boca Raton Florida.
a lot throughout the day i ll loose sign and then it will come back once i put the phone down for a few seconds but then i will loose connection, the phone will tell me i got EDGE or 3G but will not make calls, send messages or go online??? its weird
if i try to put it on airplane mode it will just have the bars as normal but no G, E or 3G logo next to it
either way if i just try to restart it or put it on airplane mode then restart it, the connection comes back normal.
anyone else experiencing this issue?
I am, and part of it has to do with the phone cupping thing, i feel anyways. I have tried sending text with the phone on the counter (not in hand) when the signal appears stronger and it still wont...
Soft resets help me, but what a PAIN!
ok good, so its not just me!!! well them its probably a software issue... we should let that be known to the BIG G so may be they could hopefully work on it in the future!
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my S10+. One day, my cellphone didn't work suddenly, at that time I was in the basement of a building.
I have a habit of using my cellphone as a road guide through the map, pasting it on the dashboard of my car, where the tool to attach it is right on the car's AC cavity.Maybe because it's too cold, it suddenly doesn't work, and indeed my cell phone feels very cold and immediately OFF.
I tried to revive, but immediately OFF again, even though it has finished booting. Until I have to go into Recovery Mode and I turn it back on. After a few times such conditions, finally my cell phone can turn on, but the LTE signal does not appear, and sometimes appears but the connection is still very slow.
I try to bring it to the Samsung service center, but only do a Factory Reset. But that problem still occurs until now, and finally I just use Wifi only for its connectivity, But if 2G can still be done.
Do you think anyone can help me with this problem? So that my 4G can be back to normal? I've tried using another SIM card to this phone, it's still like that.
Hopely anyone can help me up
Anyone can help
