Hi guys,
Just got this problem with my HTC elf100 the other day. I can't seem to find the answer for it so I'm looking for some advice on how to work these problem out.
First, I'm from the Philippines and the network I've used first is Globe. I have alot of problems with the signal cause when I'm outside its really high, but when I go inside my house it starts searching for signal. So, I changed my sim network to Smart. It worked fine, but just then the second problem arise.
Second, is that I used my phone to access the internet. I used the internet sharing. It worked at first although it's a little slow. Then after an hour or so I got disconnected. It started searching for a network. I restarted my phone hoping that the signal would go normal again. But upto now, it still search for signal. I don't know what happen.
Help is really appreciated. Thanks very much.
By the way, i tried Hard reset - nothing happened
I'm trying upgrading the radio to 3.21.90. I've already flashed it but its still 2.93.90. Don't know if I'm doing it the right way. Please help me.
Please post your device id from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418892, then somebody can help
is it happen to other smartphones with the same netowork provider?
Hi
I saw your device id, you should try to download this radio version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2849754&postcount=75.
It could be related too that your cid is very old, you could update with Hspl 2.28 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666
wow.. thanks for that.. hope it works though.
Thanks a lot..
Hi,
It's me again. I've already upgraded my radio version and the spl. But sad to say, nothing happened. It's still searching for signal. I'm really getting frustrated about this. I don't know what else to do. Or maybe there's some technical problems involved? But my unit hasn't been open since I got it. Please is there anything I can do before I dump this thing. I really love this phone. Hope you could give me other solutions. Thanks a lot.
(I'm planning on changing it to Windows 6.5. Would that work?)

I bought my Jasjam 5 days ago. I am having a problem that sometimes people cannot call me. When they make an attempt to call me they get the message that the phone is off-line.
When the phone is in this state I cannot make calls either although I can see the "G" icon as well as the signal bars. The dialer shows "Dialing....." for a few seconds and then cuts out.
This does not happen all the time but say once or twice a day.
Things become okay when I soft reset my phone.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced a similar problem and if there are any solutions. This is very annoying as you are so uncertain that you may not be accessible and you don't even know of that.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards
I wonder whether it's worth trying to take it off automatic band selection and choosing GSM only for a day to see if it still has same issue.
Start>SettingsPersonal>Phone icon>Band and selecting GSM in both drop down boxes. In second drop down list it'll be the GSM band for your area or test on each to see which works.
I suggest the above just in case you have the dropped line due to auto swapping between GSM and UMTS issue.

I seem to have solved the problem of the radio silently switching itself off without me knowing and so risking unnoticed missed calls.
The ROM version supplied from the factory with my Jasjam (HT647xxx) is as follows:-
ROM Version: 1.31.305.2
ROM Date: 8th September 2006
Radio Version: 1.21.31.10
Protocol Version: 32.53.7020.01H
Ext ROM Version: 1.31.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.06
Strangely the I-Mate site at this point states the latest ROM available for download is:
ROM Version: 1.20.305.3
ROM Date: 21st July 2006
Radio Version: 1.07.03.10
Protocol Version: 32.41.1010.02H
Ext ROM Version: 1.20.305.104
Bootloader Version:1.04
So I flashed my Jasjam with the ROM of 21st July 2006 downloaded from the I-Mate site.
For the last two or three days since I have downgraded the ROM the problem of radio switching itself off seems to have disappeared.
Just wondering if I-Mate are aware of the problem with the ROM currently being shipped with new devices and so decided the keep the old ROM for download on their website.
I will continue checking and report if I see the problem reappearing.
I thought to share this information in case it is useful for any one of us.
Regards

Yeah, I have same problem with an Orange SPV M3100... Two different maintaince office said "we have no idea" in Hungary...
Please, If you have an idea, share with us...

I already changed the rom 6 times, to 6 different roms (official, boiled, WM5.0, 6.0, 6.1), but nothing happened... I already try to change radio rom only to a different and back to the original. But nothing...
The last service said "the hardware is ok", they measured everything.
The problem is that the phone connect to the tower, but after 1 minute lost the connection, but show me the full signal level and I'm unavailable. At the first call that I make it show me an "operation failed" message and reconnect...
I think it sounds more like a radio ROM issue than an OS ROM. I had similar issues until I found a radio ROM that worked for me.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I had change my OS ROM and Radio ROM to your settings
IPL 1.04/ SPL: Hard-SPL V7 2.10.OLIPRO
Radio 1.48.00.00
Rom Version:Josh's Manilla2D v15
But nothing...
Please help me, my Dopod 838 Pro has No GSM!
This sounds similar to the problem's I'm having with my Sony Ericsson X1. It started a couple of weeks ago, seemingly spontaneously. I had been running the same firmware (generic UK R3AA010) for quite a while with no problems (at least more than usual with the X1) but suddenly one day these symptoms show up:
People who try to call me get an "unavailable" tone. If they try again it works fine
If I try to call someone, it just silently fails the first time. If I try again it works fine
So it seems that the phone gets disconnected form the network somehow. It can't just be that the phone network looses track of where the phone is (in which cell), since it affects outgoing calls as well.
I've tried this with two different SIM cards from different operators with identical results.
I've tried a couple of other firmware versions with no help. If anyone can help with information on this I'd be very grateful.
There's no way I can use a phone that people can't reach me on, but I can't stand the thought of throwing a fairly expensive phone in the trash.
exactly same problem here. I figured out that switching off the phone function in comm manager and then switching it back on does the trick without soft-reset, but I don't need to explain to you how annoying it is... I've already changed 4 OS roms and 2 radio roms with no result... I'd appreciate any suggestion very much.
Hi Guys,
Please help! I have an XDA Orbit that I have put various different ROMS that I have experimented with. Now I have one that I like I am having a couple of issues.
Firstly, I cant make or receive calls with any SIM card in the phone. It is showing as full reception and does fluctuate as it should but can't make calls. When dialling it just makes 3 beeps after a few seconds and cuts off. Not even emergency calls can be made.
Secondly, although I beleive related to the above, my WIFI does not work. I switch it on and get the hour glass but then nothing happens.
I have re-flashed ROMS to it but to no avail. Even the orginal ROMS but still it does not go away. I will try GPS later today to see if it works and will post results.
I have flashed all radio versions hoping it will solve the problem but hasn't.
Any ideas?
WLAN not working now
Hi Guys,
Answering part of my question myself here but just to let you know the update.
I have managed to fix the calling out and not receiving call issue.
It seems that when I was experimenting with different ROMS on my Orbit I somehow managed to corrupt the IMEI number on the phone. This was causing it to think it was a 'barred' or 'blocked' phone. Therefore not allowing calls.
Quick search on this forum and I found a tool called 'Wizard Service Tool' and changed the IMEI back to orginal and all working fine now except...
WLAN is not working. I suppose the MAC address may have been corrupted also? Anychance I can check this? Or does anyone know how to restore it? I will be searching all day for this so any assistance will be appreciated.
If I manage to fix I will post my results.
You know you can just reflash the radio, you could try the latest version it may help. It is dead easy to find. It will have new wifi, bluetooth, and gsm.
I have tried to flash radio/new rom/hard reset to no avail.
It is a problem with the mac address on the phone. for some reason it gets wiped/corrupted when installing\experimenting with the vanilla roms.
but thanks for the suggestion anyway
any suggestions?
Guys any suggestions????????????
I need help desperately as my HTC touch unlocked phone (originally from Rogers) sometimes works (on Fido network) but most of the times it gives me the error that its Searching for the Signal and then turn the phone off and repeat the same process.
My Rom version is kwbr rom v4.5.3 wwe and Radio version is 03.39.90
I just started having the same problem today. I'm on Fido with a Rogers Touch (Elfin 128/256 MB version), with Onyx ultimate 4.5 from 5/14/09. Until today it worked great, always had the network and made/received calls every time. However today at work I noticed it was stuck on finding network, and wouldn't connect. Since then I've had it connect to the network sometimes, and about half my calls have been getting through, the other half had a few seconds of silence, no connection, followed by three beeps back on the dialer screen. I tried updating the radio, that didn't help, still the same issue. It's not the sim card, as it works 100% in my backup phone.
Anyone know what's causing this and if there's a way to fix it? I could try reflashing the rom, but I'd rather not lose all my installed programs and stuff.
Wellcome to the club. I couldnt find any solution yet

I've tried reflashing the Onyx rom, as well as the Onyx 5 beta, and neither of these helped. The phone network connection is still intermittent, and when it does connect to the network it still takes a few tries before any call will dial out. I'll try completely restoring my original rom backup, but it's looking more and more likely that this is a hardware issue. If it is, how would I go about fixing it? I severely doubt it would be covered under any warranty, since I bought it used, so I'd probably have to do it myself if at all possible. Anyone know of anywhere to get parts for the Elf beyond the normal keypad/case/lcd stuff offered in most of the online parts stores?
Reflashing the original rom didn't do it either, looks like I'll have to contact HTC.
Let me know what solution they gave u.
Is your phone under warrenty?

As I said it's a used phone so it's probably out of warranty, but I'll get in touch with the guy I bought it from and see if Rogers will repair or replace it first, then if they can't or won't do anything for me I may email HTC. I'll bump this thread when/if I have any news.

Judging from the replies, you have a bad device.
HTC Service Centre might be the best place for you.
well the problem is that i didnt purchase it with the HTC or Rogers directly.
Anyways i will contact them again lets see how it goes
You can still bring down to HTC even if you didnt purchase from them.
But it must, of course, be made by HTC.
hello Everyone, i'm new around here, but still i've got to benefit from all the information and knoledge poured on these pages for upgrading my TYTN to WM 6 (Schaps 3.54b) as well as adding the Hard-spl and upgrading the radio to 1.41
so, let's start from the begining. before doing the upgrade i was already having the problem with the WIFI, and that is that one day, it started searching for networks, but never found any, not even if i was 20 cm close to the Access Point. the problem persisted until i upgraded it to WM6, which was 2 days ago, and then miraculously it started working again, and detected my home's wireless network. but yesterday it begun to have the same problem again, searches for networks, but never finds any....
i really don't know what to do now... has nayone else had the same or a similar problem and found out a way to solve it? or does anyone know what might be causing the problem so that i can fix it?
thank you very much in advance for all the help that i'm sure you will all provide.
the problem has been solved, sorry to everyone if i made you loose some time reading this thread.
the thing is that i didn't look at all the options on the connectivity tab, and on schap's rom, there are 2 wifi icons, one for the settings, and another one to manage the networks, i didn't see this last one, but now after studying all the options, i've managed to set it up correctly and all is working fine now.
again, thank you very much, and sorry if i made you waste your time
to any mods out there who might be reading this, you can delete this topic.
thank you.
Hey ive had the HD2 for a little under 3 weeks now and i struggle to actually find a signal on the device.
According to voda my area has full 3g network coverage and when i tested my sim in my old N97 i indeed recieved a full signal.
I've sent many emails to both voda and htc but none have been replied too.
I was just wondering if this was just me or is anyone else finding problems recieving a signal also?
and if so is the a fix for this at all?
any info would be appreciated
Hi there,
What radio do you have on your device? To find this out reboot the phone and watch the screen carefully at the bottom.
Get yourself a pen and paper and write down the series of numbers that comes up starting with R. Once we know that ....
Also being in Macclesfield, are you in a low signal area or dead signal patch? Used to happen to me a lot when I was in oop there.
WB
R - 2.05.51. 05~2
(~ because it was a squiggily line lol)
and no i get full coverage when i put it into my other phone so thats why im lost =/
and thx
Im going to flash the radi rom of this now and see if that works =)
i laughed so much when it came up with the "we hacked it" screen XD
*update*
ok i have actually picked up my 3g signal but its only 1 bar, but I HAVE A SIGNAL!!!
Good news! You have already gone down the route I was going to suggest.
WB
Ah i see well i wouldnt of thought of it if you hadn't asked for my radio version =)
thanks for the help much appreciated
