Has anyone else noticed or experienced little to no signal being shown with this T-Mobile WM2003 Update? Since I've upgraded, I've been having issues with making calls, getting/losing signal, and alot of other issues related to the phone side of the device. Didn't have these issues prior to upgrade or for the first 2-3 days after upgrade.
I was thinking about downgrading and starting over, but I wanted to hear the opinions of others on here. What do you think I should do from here?
Thanks
I have exactly the same problems.....(After a day or two)
Also thinking of downgrading.
What radio stack are you guys using?
I've got the same problem!
I'm using the 6.24.00 T-Mobile radio update with a cooked WM2003 rom. The signal seems lower than when I was using the latest AT&T RSU.
I'm using 4.21 (Dutch XDA)
T-Mobile ROM 4.00.10
6.24.00 with the 4.00.10 ROM Version. I didn't have any of these issues either with the AT&T radio stack, just since I upgraded to the T-Mobile one.
I am using the Siemens SX56 with ATT. I have the same issues. Signal, ring volume does not seem to be as loud even when using a standard ring tone.
Everything worked perfectly until I upgraded to 2003

Ok, so I just went back to TMO service in the US (after being on Fido in canada) and people are having serious issues trying to call me. Sometimes, it tells them the number is unavalible, sometimes it rings through to VM without me hearing a ring at all...etc.
My question is this:
Is this a TMO service issue or my radio rom/phone?
I have good to full signal on my MDA, I'm using WM6 (1.7 Reload), with my old 2.25 Radio GSM ROM, I can call out just fine and it sounds good (as does a incoming call if it actually makes it through), and it worked great in Canada (different WM5 but same radio).
t's your radio ROM version. Try either 2.19.11 or 2.69.11 and the problems should stop. Personally I use 2.69.11 because it seems to get better reception than 2.19.11.
P.S. I just answered this same question from someone in this same forum 2 posts up so I just copied and pasted the answer again.
Thanks! I'll go look for the Radio ROM now. Cheers!
No problem. If you haven't found the Radio ROMs check the wizard wiki, most of them are there.
UPDATE!!
It seems that a solution for the problems has been found for:
- Reception difficulties
- BAD gsm performance
- No reception on the phone

Hi guys,
after upgrading my Polaris from the default supplied rom 1.58.21.23 to the latest 1.64.08.21, I have no reception in my house and even difficult reception on the street.
I reversed back to version 1.58.21.23, but even then, still have issues with reception.
Does anybody have the same problem, or had the same problem and find a fix?
Rroet
Hello,
I do have the same problem, and got it on the same way as you did?
could someone please help us?
Do you have the same difficulty as I do:
I've followed the procedures as described in manuals everywhere:
- remove the memory card
- be happily synced
- start app
- device goes into the tricolor screen
- replug the usb as described on the polaris screen
- Flashing startssss.... goes... goes...
- HANGS at 99%
- Have to do recovery procedure as shown on screen.
- Flashing procedure starts second time
- hits 100%
- Now i've got a bad reception? On my previous polaris (replaced due to a phonespeaker defect) had 2 bars even after upgrading. My new Polaris doesn't have any bars after I upgraded (It did have 2 bars before upgrading)
Any expert here with information?
I'm having the same issue, by upgrading RADIO 1.58.21.23 to the latest 1.64.08.21 I got weak signal on GSM. Two bars on signal icon on the top near the BTS.
I'm using BEPE 0.67 ROM with WM 6.1, downgrading the RADIO doesn't help. I have searched thru this forum and didn't find any relevant solution
I was having the same problem with you. I have tried everything including flashing every rom/radio available and performing hard resets at every stage. Unfortunately, in the end I had to get my cruise replaced.
These are my original Cruise details, just to see if there is anything in common:
HK Traditional Chinese HTC Cruise
1.27.832.1. CHT
01/10/08
1.58.21.23
25.65.30.04H
Very interesting issue
I read this several times in different threads now.
Fortunately myself doesn't suffer this issue and i have
also upgraded to 1.64.08.21. Lucky one.
Maybe one should start a poll about this
Would be nice to know the results.

I have this issue too after Hard-SPL and ASerg Rom, I have problems in o2 German network... very weak signalstrength 1/4 or mostly 0/4 (no network, denied).... i tried original radio 1.58.21.23 and 1.64.08.21 any1 know what could have happened? can a rom upgrade damage the radio hardware in any way? would be hard to believe... with german's BASE i have at least from 2/4 to 4/4 signal strength and sometimes I even get 3G... in my old o2 orbit (artemis) everything is at max strength
I have the same problem after flashing the 1.64.08.21 radio. Is there no solution?
I guess I am lucky, but with 1.64.08.21 and Bepe's 0.67 ROM I don't have any problems. There is no change at all. Signalstrength is the same, 3G is working fine.
1.64.08.21 and Bepe's 0.67 ROM
Me too
I have the o2 orbit 2 (POLA200)

Strange, I'm using also 1.64.08.21 and it's working like a charm... I do have another network provider (KPN, not t-mobile). Have 4 bars reception... Never had real problems with the reception too...
POLA100 (Touch cruise). Only my flash of radio succeeded in 1 time (not had to reboot before hitting the 100%). Also The Netherlands, so it doesn't seem to be country bounded.
Does it find your network? (Menu => settings => Phone (on personal tab)) then choose tab Network.
Current network: T-mobile
Network selection: Automatic
You can try Find Netwok over there, or Set network. Please also check the tab "Band", should be on Auto (both options).
My problem is when I manually check networks, I can find KPN NL and Orange NL everywhere, but not T-Mobile or Vodafone.. whilest on my wife's Vox I have 3 bars of network, on my N73 (nokia) I have 3-4 bars as well.
VERY ODD!
is it possible radio of pola100 and pola200 are different, even they share the same version number?

Could be, but then again, Rroet and I are having the same devices (pola100), are living in the same country, having the same radio version (the 1.64.08.21), the only difference is that he has another provider (which I can find if I search for networks)

In June I will switch network (to Vodafone)... I hope it all keeps working... Really strange that you can't find your network anymore. If I scan for networks I see them all (also Vodafone and T-Mobile).
(Think you've allready done this) but what will happen if you give your device a hard reset, or flash Windows Mobile again to your mobile... This because I'm having the same device, can find your network and having the same radio version.
hi there!
I unfortunately got the same issue.
I got a XDA Orbit 2 from O2 Germany. Did the hardspl unlock(used the tool from olipro) after that i flashed the bepe 0.67 premium bepe rom.
Right now my orbit is disconnected most of the time, or has real bad signal strength. It would be very great if this can be fixed.
Greets
EDIT:
flashed the 1.64.08.21 got the same prob.
Got another orbit2 with everything in original delivery state. is there a possibility to "clone" the device back to original state?
I got very bad reception when update radio 1.64.08.21 . it frequenly lost connection when I got phone call , tried to downgrade and no result
I have vodafone simcard and now I must force to swich to 3g connection to make a phone call . when Iam on gsm I conldnot make any phone call at all , I am now just wait and see someone smart to show me how to correct this trouble
the phone work on my 3 sim but it is not as good as it was before
To make it complete: I have the O2 Orbit 2 (german) (POLA200) and I
have ugraded to the 1.64.08.21 without glitches (worked at first time,
did it through bootloader mode) and it is working with the same (good)
reception as it did before (phuuuh). Maybe it has something to do with
the flash problems at first time, which some users had. Could someone
sort it out? It's really goring, that even (successful) backflash to the stock
radio does not seem to fix the issue like the Poll indicates
Olioaglio
Edit: using Bepe 0.64 GER Opera with the Orbit2 ATM.
Edit2: Thought it might be a good idea to crosslink this thread to the
Polaris Radio ROMs thread to get things together.
What about the IMEI number btw?
I don't know if this is what happens by default, but my IMEI number is 2 digits longer in the software, then it is in the hardware:
example of my hardware IMEI: 123
in software it reads 12301
Does this matter in any way?
Interesting stuff... as Olioaglio said maybe there´s a relation to how it was flashed. If it was clean install or the process had to be repeated. Can anyone with this problem report back on this issue. I tried the new radio here in Spain but I went back to the stock radio as it seemed to have a better reception and battery life. I must admit I´m rather cautious about trying different radios as I fried my Hermes due to the radio and now it can´t connect at all.
I've had no problems/glitches during the flash process but I have the same reception problems as everyone else. Even using a friend's SIM with a different carrier made no difference in reception.
Hello All,
It's good to find online such a great and evolving community.
I hope that someone in here can help me solve the issue that I have.
When I start a call, or a receive a call, sometimes the person I talk to says that they hear me very badly and it's droping, whileas I am hearing them crystal clear.
The problem was there still with the original 1.14 SPL and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Stock WWE.
Now I have upgraded to Dutty's latest R7 WM6.5, hoping that the new Radio ROM can solve my issues but unfortunately this didn't happen.
The Carrier I am using is Globul Bulgaria, and I have disabled the 3G/HSDPA feature and currently operating only in GSM ( 900,1800MHz bands) mode hoping that this will improve the quality of the signal and thus provide me better talking experience.
The interesting thing is, that I am not experiencing this problem all the time. In some cells it's ok and in others it's not.
I was thinking to take my phone to the service center here in Bulgaria, but decided to ask here first if anyone has experienced the same problem in other GSM networks or even found a solution to it.
Thanks all for the time.
Regards,
Lyuben Bahtarliev
Same here, take a look at your serial number, and also see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476139
Thanks for the guidelines.
Excuse me for double posting it was difficult to find the thread when searching.
The conclusion is that I will need to flash my phone to factory SPL, Radio ROM and Windows and get it for repair.
What a shame...
HI EVERY ONE!
i have HTC HD2 TAIWAN MAKE My Serieal Number is >> HT03ANW01078 recently HTC Launch UPgrade for HTC HD2 O2 Network but unfortunatly that upgration is for NON TAIWAN HAND SETS. whenever i try to enter my ROM VERSION Number which is this 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Htc System's says this upgrade is not available for this MAKE. any one can help me.
and MY MAJOR PROBLEM is ....MY HAND SET reception problem. in 1 MIN my dozen of Times my HAND set disconnect from O2 Network. please if there is any solution so please find out for me thanks.
If you want so bad to try other radios in order to see if you can get better reception, you will need to install HSPL and flash several radio roms to see which one gets you the best results.
All the info you can find in the sticky threads in the HD2 > Rom Development forums section

If the update is for rom version 1.72.xxxx WWE i wouldn't bother. It's the same as 1.66 except it's sim locked and branded. Your better off staying with what you have or if you are desperate to do an update have a look at the custom roms in the rom dev board.

Agreed but i'm on O2 right on the edge of the HSDPA area on my local mast and radio 2.11.50.20 gives me perfect HSDPA signal, brilliant call quality and reasonable battery life (2 days max without a charge on a mixed usage cycle)
I have tried the new 2.12.50.2_2 but that caused my phone to stop sending and receiving text messages properly and also caused some major issues with the rom i use (see my sig) but the signal was better allowing me to get 3G signal in the none 3G capable area a short distance down the road
