when i turn on my phone, i have a connection. It will stay on for about 30 seconds and i will receive text messages. But after that it shuts off, phone and data both! They will come back, but when that happens if i try to make an outgoing call or text message, or use the data to get on the internet it will shut back off. All my settings are correct. I even did a hard reset to see if the problem was with some software I installed, but still no go.
BTW I also popped the sim card in an old phone and everything worked. Its still under warranty so i think im gonna give Palm a call when i get done with finals tonight
I just dont want to lose my phone for a month
Any ideas or suggestions would be beautiful. Thanks in advance

Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".
But here's my real problem:
I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.
But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.
Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.
And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.
does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?
Regards,
Twan
i sometimes get this too though not often its usually when my phone loses signal and when it comes back into signal it wont recevie txt messages until i soft reset or send another txt out then ill get like 4 all at once lol.
Wizard isnt the best phone for txtin i must say as i send a good 1,000 txts a month and so far its poor.
Sounds like a network issue to me...
The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.
I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.
I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.
I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.
I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.
Okay,
so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.
I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?
I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.

I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.
Let us know how you get on.

I've tried, but now there's nobody who has sent me an sms
ghehe, i'll wait....
but i do think it will work.
i'll keep you posted
This is happening to me all of a sudden and its not a network issue. I have 4 phones on my account and i texted between all of them and only my phone won't get the messages UNLESS I reboot my phone or use smartskey to close a window.
Here is the strange part, when a text message is sent to my phone, the screen turns on, but doesn't show the message pop.
Is smartskey blocking it?
Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through
This is quite annoying. Starting some time last night, I have been having a hell of a time making any kind of call.
If I make a call out, I hit send, it sits for 3 or 4 seconds, then says call ended. I called my own phone and it rang 2 times and went to voicemail.
Throughout this time I've had no problem receiving texts (not sure about sending them).
Anyone ever have this problem? I did a hard reset of it earlier today and added the touch-it 2.3 rom, but that hasn't changed anything.
Hmm. I hard reset a few times, I flashed back to the original tmobile ruu...still nothing. Once in a while after a reset I can make 1 call, or receive 1 call (that happened only once), but after that...nothinng. Looks like I gotta bring it in and get it swapped out or something.
Weird. I decided to try calling my gf while I was on my way over to her place, and it worked fine, and has been working fine since. This is on the original t-mobile RUU. I'm flashing it back to touch-it now, and I'll see if it keeps working.
I was on the phone for like half an hour with their tech support and we got nowhere, so this is weird.
i have the same problem, but not always.
just sometimes..
this time i try to re-search network..
usually it works, but i dont understand, why does it do this..
please help us

after getting a my favs plan my phone has been acting crazy, ill have full signal but not be able to make calls or anything. then when i finally get service back it will drop off again withing 2 minutes and not come back for up to 2 hours sometimes longer. ive changed roms and updated radios and all and even changed my plan back to a normal plan yet still nothing works. but my phone is still saying tmobile tho nothing is working so obviously it sees what network im on. any idea of how to fix this problem? if i take my sim out and put it in another phone it works perfectly please help!!! thanks
wow! nobody?
to sum it up, Edge is basically disabled on my phone.
Hi Folks,
I've been having some proper trouble with my Hero over the last couple of days. Namely that it won't make phonecalls directly out of the pocket. If it's been locked, in my pocket, I take it out and try dialling and it just goes silent for a second then beeps and reverts back to the phone screen. In every instance I've tried a restart and it works.
Is this going to need to be sent back or is it something I'm doing wrong? Also, have any of you noticed your screen scrolling between screens without the phone being touched?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Strange. The first thing always to try (especially before you go to the extreme of sending it back), is a factory reset.
Remember it'll wipe the device back to factory, and you'll loose all your data. You'll have to resync your contacts etc.
But its the best way to figure out if its a hardware or software issue. Factory settings here means a reformat and reimage of the whole OS. There's an option in the settings to do it.
Thanks mate. I tried the reset this afternoon and so far, so good.
I had some problems with mine with the calls as I couldn't make or receive a call even though there was signal.
People would call me on the landline as they tried to call and said the phone was off (stranger still the call wouldn't go to my voicemail and would say the number was unobtainable) and I wouldn't be able to call out.
It would say dialling for 5-6 seconds maybe more then beep and go back to the phone dialler screen.
Many calls to T-Mobile later (tried new sim card and a factory reset) and it still wouldn't work. T-Mobile techs suggested I switch it to run on 2G networks only which made it better but I argued that my previous phone (SE W910i) didn't need manual switching between networks to work properly.
So after more discussion they agreed that something wasn't right with my Hero and sent a replacement out.
So far so good for the replacement
Thanks for the heads up, mate. Since I did my factory reset I've had no trouble but I'm half expecting it!
No problem
I'll admit that I keep my Hero on 2G networks now (not for any signal and call issues) as it really helps save battery power. Yeah, the net performance is slower but after all its only fetching a few facebook updates and the gmail is still fast to use. I can switch it back if need be for fast internet.
I have searched everywhere and tried every connection fix I could think to try but I cannot find the answer. Short of buying a new phone, I am running out of hope.
My international S8 on T-Mobile has up until now given me zero issues. The last month it has been acting up though. It is almost always unwilling to send phone calls and when it works the connection beep takes like 10-15 seconds before it works.. on the other end, people who call me say my phone goes straight to voicemail.
I have manually input connection settings. I full unrooted and clean installed factory firmware and I made sure it was not something as simple as being in 'do not disturb' mode. I am out of ideas and need your help. Thank you in advance anyone who may have some ideas!!!

I had the same issue.
Go to phone dialer and dial *#0011#.
when the screen comes up look to see if it says MIPI_Fail or something to that effect.
If it does then your radio is bad. This is a hardware problem. I had to send mine to the service center and they replaced the MB.
Good Luck
How you guys got in this in first place?

After update to Oreo phone showed no connection. Tried all the usual fixes and still had an X in signal bars.
I figured the dialer still worked the same as my Note 3 so I gave it a shot. It worked and went into service mode. That is where it said MIPI-Fail. Googled it and found out that means the radio is bad. Off to Samsung it went.:good:
