weird - I have a P3600 from The Netherland which I brought to Italy. The phone worked fine with a Vodafone SIM. Recently I changed to TIM. As long as I have a good network signal Edge and 3G work as they should. However, whenever the signal gets poor and the phone switches to GPRS, I do not have any data nor phone connection (although the phone shows a strong GSM signal). As soon as the phone goes on EDGE the phone works again.
I already tried several Radio Roms. It looks like V. 1.56.70.11 is slightly improving the situation but in most cases I still cannot make calls and cannot be called.
Is this a SIM problem? Is there anybody in Italy who could tell me which ROM Versions TIM is using in their branded P3600?
Device info:
ROM version: 1.23.405.2
ExtROM: 1.23.405.103
Protocol: 32.83.7020.20H
Radio: 1.56.70.11
Any advice is welcome....
...likely it is only related to the poor TIM network coverage at my home. Strange is that my wife (she is using the same SIM from TIM) can make phone calls with her Nokia. It seems that the Trinity with the new radio rom is very sensitive to receive network signals but apparently the transmitting power is too low to connect (Trinity cares for your health http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) ....is there a way to boost the transmitting power or is it only controlled by the radio rom?

Guys,
Bought an australian O2 MINI from a friend of mine. BAck in Holland, one moment I do have a GSM signal....the other moment I don't.
My other phone, with the dutch VODAFONE has a 80% reception.
It's very hard to regain the QTEK GSM signal. Sometimes turning on and off the flightmode works, sometimes not. Even putting the newest QTEK S100 ROM doesn't.
When I do have a signal I ,fast as hack, mark the VODAFONE provider thingy and unmark all the asian pacific providers. I even permanently store my settings. A few minutes later, the reception is gone, Just when lying on my desk or driving in Amsterdam, the Vodafone Preferred network is gone and even the unmarked networks are marked again..but NO vodafone signal.
Is it beacause of a hardware problem ? Or when it looses the Dutch Vodafone signal, it only looks for the Pre-defined networks or what....
When I do know how to work with SMD...is it possible for me to repair ?
Hope someone can help
I've done the upgrade and all goes well but now my P3600 doesn't find anymore the 3G Umts net of TIM Italy. Edge band is at full signal but it can't find TIM even forcing in the settings in Umts.
Anyone is experiencing this problem or a weaker UMTS reception after the Rom upgrade?.
Thanks in advance for replies.
Ciao Olaf
Hi,
I have Wind ITA but even with the original ROM or with the new upgrade 3G is not working since a few weeks...
It gets disconnected, or even connected drops calls, you cannot even make a call...
I don't think this is related to phone firmware as I've tried my sim card inside another phone and it was not working again in the 3G mode..
It's a very strange issue, seems not related to firmwares...but seems a general problem (at least for me)
I'm very happy with Edge mode!
My P3600 with a 3 sim has no problems but with the tim one yes.
My Tim sim in a Nokia 6630 phone works flawlessly in Umts.
I'm also happy with edge mode but a few weeks ago I had also Umts working.
Thanks for the reply

Hi
I have a problem with my Universal that is difficult to pin down so let me describe the symptoms and if anybody can suggest anything then I would be grateful. I think that these symptoms are restricted to the UK T-Mobile network.
WM6 (or WM5 T-Mobile UK latest release)
ROM version: 2.05.00 WWE
Radio: 1.18.00
Protocol: 42.54.P8
ExtROM: Empty
Bootloader: 1.01
These are the symptoms:
1) When the phone goes out of service, it will not pick up the GSM signal without several hard-reboots when back in an area with reception.(It is configured to pick up only GSM on 1800) When it does find reception, it works fine as a phone if I don't move
2) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, bluetooth stereo streaming to my headphones does not work properly - I hear maybe 1 s of sound and then sound cuts out.If I cick stop and play in the player then I hear another 1s of sound.(I use Settings/Connections/Bluetooth, not Comm Manager, to turn on BT)
3) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, I cannot use the symbol at the top to see the phone status without the phone hanging completely
4) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, I cannot use Start/Settings/Phone without the phone hanging completely
5) Until the phone finds a gsm signal, I can access Start/Settings/System/Device Info _except_ for the hardware tab.
6) T-Mobile tell me that there are no blocks on my SIM, number or device
7) The phone works flawlessly with VF-UK and O2 (not tried 3) and picks up GSM reception immediately after coming back into an area with reception
I live in an area without T-Mobile signal so this is a real problem for me because I have to do several reboots each morning !!
Is there an application that tells me exactly what the GSM radio is doing and whether it has connected and then been forcibly disconected by the network ?
Is there an application that forcibly turns on and off the GSM radio without me using Settings / Radio or Comm Manager ?
All help welcome.

Hi,
I am not sure but It seems after upgrading your radio to 1.18.00 yr experiencing this prob.
Go to Setting>phone tab to Band on SELECT YOUR NETWORK TYPE put it on Auto from drop down list. restart your device.
If you still having prob then download again the Radio and install it because may be you have downloaded the radio is currupted
It's not the radio ROM that's the issue. Actually, 1.18 and WM6 seems to be the 'best' combination for finding the signal after a reboot. I've tried several radio ROMs (including the one released with the official T-Mobile updated WM5 ROM) and have the same issue with all of those.

Since upgrading to 1.18 I'm having problems that aren't solved when I revert to an earlier Radio ROM.
The main problem is it seems to be "UTMS or nothing", I used to use GSM only, but now when I switch to GSM only, my Universal does not display the little G symbol at the top, it shows some signal strength but then just has the no connection icon where the G should be (or where the U/3G is when not on GSM only).
Because of this, I cannot connect to the internet when on GSM only... it just keeps trying and trying with no success.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have an HTC Touch 3g from Orange. I flashed my phone using the latest Europe official ROM.
It is running:
Rom version 2.32.404.3 (44800)
Rom date 03/25/09
Radio Version 0.41.30.12
Protocol version 12.41.30.16H
I am having problems receiving and making calls. Most of the time phone calls go straight to my answer phone. When making calls it will often attempt to connect but then fails. Often text messages can't be sent. Connecting to the internet using 3g also fails the majority of the time.
Does the Orange branded ROM have carrier specific settings to imrove radio signal strengh?
Is this a common problem?
Thanks,
Ben
Hi guys,
I have searched all over the forum and cannot find an answer to this question so apologies if I missed it.
My HD2 (Leo) suddenly lost the network signal. Couldn't connect to my operator - no phone calls or internet. Tried to soft reset and left the batteries out for a while... none worked.
After some research, I found out that my Network Type (originally set to Auto) can find the EDGE signal if I manually switch the band to GSM. Otherwise (AUTO or forced WCDMA) I come back to a useless phone (no phone calls, no internet) still missing the operator's signal.
What could be possibly going on? I have stock ROM and Radio (below) and do not remember to make anything different to change network settings... phone's been working like a charm for almost a year and a half before that!
Thank you very much in advance for any clarification!
Regards!
