Hey, I've got the x1i (vodafone branded) for a while. This phone works perfectly in asia...but it doesn't seem to work here in Canada on fido.
Whenever I turn on the phone it connects and shows a "G" symbol. Whenever the "G" shows up it works..i can make/receive calls and sms...However, after 20 seconds or so..the "G" symbol switches to "E". Whenever "E" (edge i suppose), i can no longer make/receive calls and sms.
I tried dialing a number..but there's no dial tone and such. ANybody knows what's wrong?? I tried selected the GSM band but it doesn't work.
I only have the voice plan with Fido. Do i need the data plan to be able to use the xperia x1i???
i also tried flashing the phone with the x1a north america rom..but i get the same results...
any help would be appreciated

Hello,
I have a DOPOD D810 and using with Vodafone-SP. When I have the 3G on the calls least about 11 seconds (sometimes 9 seconds) and without 3G (the old GPRS) the phone calls work perfectly.
Anyone had the same problem or know why it's happening?
sometimes, when iam connected with pc (usb) and share internet connection to it. i dont try it with gprs.
but when i have 3g connection without pc, works perfect
Is HSDPA in your region? Because i think i have read some posts where the HSDPA implementation makes that problem. Just turn off HSDPA support and see if its ok.
i dont know, but icons switching between 3g and H
i'm having the same problem too. The calls will drop in less than 10secs in 3G mode but with normal calls. Checked with the network provider and the Dopod HQ. Network provide says it could be the hardware problem and the Dopod HQ says it could be the network problem.... this is making me sick. And some Expert says this is normal to PDA's 3.5G phone.
Basically I can say that depends of the cell, I mean, sometimes 3G calls works fine and sometimes not, usually the ones who doesn't work fine are in different 3G cell (becasue I'm in different location).
So, can be both, a network problem (some software or hardware in the cell antena) and the phone (who don't 'talk' with the cell properly).
I search and a lot of spanish Vodafone users (Trinity) have the same problem.
just noticed that after softreset the 3G signal becomes perfect and calls signal will stay strong. But after i awhile without making calls out or incoming calls. Then the nightmare happens again. Checked with the Dopod hardware HQ, they says if the 3G signals drops then the GSM will drops too. So, it couldn't be the hardware unit problem.
does Xperia X1i not work properly in canada? I tried selecting the GSM band, but after a minute or two...it automatically connects to Edge..(i get the "E" symbol at the top of the screen.
whenever it connects to Edge..i can no longer make/receive both calls and sms.
is there any way to make it work? the phone works perfectly in asia
Hi, i'm from Canada, PQ, Montreal and another mate in this forum from Canada, Vancouver is having the same problem.
For the first 10-20secs after the X1i has been booted succesfully. We get the G status icon(GPRS signal) in the corner and get 2-3bars of signal, during these times, we can call/text or receive calls. After this, the G signal will be replaced by E signal (Edge), this is when i cannot make any calls nor receive any calls nor send any message. I tried this while i was in the streets in a open sky place. I tried my friend's phone and i had FULL SIGNAL (its an nokia 5800 xpress) , i tried my other phone, nokia n95 8gb, i get sky rocketing signal as well.
So the only way to call me, is to keep on trying , hoping i get GPRS status. I have tested my mom's sim card prepaid , to see if it relates to 3G internet or something , still no luck. Anyone from canada having problems?? I'm with rogers. They use 850mhz/1850mhz , i have disabled HSPDA and seletected these two bands, still no luck .... I cannot update the radio rom because its locked ....
Please help =(
perhaps we might have to unlock the phone with Fido to use voice calls on edge? i'm having the same problem. ;(
Perhaps you have to call fido to disable EDGE and use GPRS only ... i'm gonna have to refund my x1 =(
Initially, Fido worked basically with 1900MHz but since the acquisition of Fido by Rogers in 2004, Rogers integrated the networks extending coverage thru 850MHz...
Better get the X1a or change provider
I live in sweden and I also have problem with my signal. it just disapears from time to time.
Same problem here on the other side of the world; in Abu Dhabi. Sometime the signal is completely lost!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is it possible to disable Edge?? THe "E" symbol only indicate edge reception but we are not technically connected to it. Can i actually ask them to cut Edge reception totally?
I only have the voice plan in the first place.
Hello there!
I have a HTC Hermes phone.
Where I live there isn't 3G coverage at all.
When I am in places where is good 3G coverage the phone works well on 3G networks.
When I use EDGE or GSM networks it fails randomly.
I cannot make phone calls, and people whose call me get the sound "The call partner is not available."
Now I am using Windows Phone 6.5.
When I used other versions it wasn't work either.
Now I have radio 1.41.00.10
What settings should I use?
Please help!
Did you try to turn off (UMTS) 3G?
It is in CommManager?
Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I have tried this, it change network type to GSM, and network to EDGE.
But, after that it does the same.
Calls sometimes work, sometimes not.
And all the time the signal quality is almost full.
But I run into an other thing.
When I want to set to send my Caller ID, I tap get settings in the Comm Manager, it shows the message "Cannot read settings from the network. Try again later or disconnect data connection and try again"
What data connection does it mean?
hey all
i've got a problem with my droid pro in eu on gsm/umts network.
when i'm roaming and use gsm only (no umts) my mic and speaker are dead. i can make a call and receive it, but i cant hear anything and caller doesnt hear me. display shows seconds have past so line is opened. i can even receive sms and mms just fine and send them, only cals dont work.
if i change from gsm to umts only, then calls work fine. when im on home network everything is ok.
funny thing is, that if i make a call on roaming in umts only and then change to gsm only i can receive first call, then it's all blank again.
i have stock rom
tnx
teva
probably the problem was with the network where you was located. did you tried another network?
my droid pro works nice in roaming, in both gsm and umts.
I am facing a similar issue.
2G 900/1800 Mhz -- Voice & Data Work fine.
3G 1900 Mhz --- No Voice, Phone re-boots. Data works.
So I have to use the phone in GSM only mode.
I am on 2.3.3 / Verizon 4.6.4 update.
My new operator have same issue! (no with the old operator!!)
In a specific location i can't make/receive a call in only 2g (i can send/receive sms and data traffic is ok)... But if I switch in 3g i can do everything...
For my operator it is an issue between sim (by ORGA) and droid pro and so I'll replace my sim...
I didn't find non ORGA sim, but i have bought a dualsim adaptor, for seeing... Nothing...!
On my operator (TIM), when i'm on edge in only same locations, i can't make/recivie calls... Not with my ex operator (wind)..
But... you can try to compose on your dialer ##7764726 then call, then password 000000
verify
06 test mode
next
next
service option switch to 13k, or others, then back...
Make a call, or try this configuration
if you restart your phone you must reselect this...
Tomorrow i'll try...
