Bug on HTC Touch 3G - Network problem ?

Hello
I've the HTC Jade smartphone since one week, and I'm very happy of this. I love design and multiple functions.
But sometime, I observed a problem with my phone.
It was normally on, no problem with network or others appears, but nobody can phone me or sms me, and I can't phone and SMS. It doesn't work too.
As the network was disfunctionnaly.
A phone reboot resolve the problem, but in one week I oftently had this problem (three times minimum). It's a real problem because I can't know when my phone is "disconnected" or no.
Is there anybody have this problem, and know a fix of this bug ?
Thanks,
Julien.

Do you use SPB Phone suite or similar software?
It happened to me before, if I switched GSM on, did not wait until it is really on and than switched the phone to standby.

No, I don't use SPB Phone or others software for my phone.
I just use ActiveSync for synchronise phone with computer.

Do you switch your GSM network off regularly?

Try hard reset. I think that is a software problem. Are you using 3G network or GSM only?

Just found a brand new bug.
When the phone is on stand by for a long period of time (during the night), if i get a sms, it only arrives when i press the power button to light the screen.
Until then, the phone doesnt warn me about the incoming sms.

sorry, double post

No, I never switch off my GSM Network (you talk about Airplane mode ?).
And HSDPA mode and 3G are always activated.
Again now, my phone just have the problem ! I saw that when I wanted to call then it doesn't work.
I must reboot and I lost three calls and one SMS >_<
I'll test hard reboot now, and I'll tell you news.
Thanks to all !!

If you do not use any third party software, you can ask HTC support directly.

Tried that one after whole night in standby. Worked just fine... Device woke up on it's own, delivered the message, played sound, started blinking LED.

C4st92 I have same bag with my O2 Atom Exec, but nobody can`t help me long time
I waiting, waiting long time... and buy new phone - HTC 3G, 2 days ago...and... Oops, i see your news, you make me shook
I hope you can make this bag...and write here about this problem....

I have also both bugs. Yesterday, my jade loose the call and didn't react at any order. I could not abbort the call. Actually after a reset, i was not able to call anybody as a operator failure.
And today after the night, I sent me a sms from the inet and my jade didn't react althrough it was on stand by. After wake up, the SMS was shown.
I have the german version of the jade.

Hi, I have the same problem with my HTC Touch HD. Only when i set to GSM network is good. Problems are when i use Auto or 3G band. I have this device from 17.11.08. How do You thing, can I replacement for new one? Without waiting for warranty repair?
Sorry for my English.

troxter
How do You thing, can I replacement for new one?
Try But, some shop have rule "If product have problen can change within 7 days from date of purchase with the original receipt only"

I bought this phone in Orange shop. It was upgrade phone.

is it a general bug or depending on device?

I already wrote that I did not encounter this problem in my Jade.

Since hard reboot, my phone has bugg two times.
I'll test to disable HSDPA and test with just GSM/GPRS Network if I keep this problem.
Wait & See

Guys, have you tried to contact HTC directly and ask about this problem?
I am using only GSM network and I did not encounter any of those problems. But if it seems to be common, why not ask them?

I called the german HTC support two days ago and reported the problem. They want to check this. The support has no resposibility to check, they report it to HTC directly and I think they could better speak english than german ;-)
Perhaps it depends of the rom. I have the german rom and using umts.
The problem is very special. If I receive a sms after a certain time (wake off 3h), only LED flashs. When the time is longer (e.g. 6h), the LED doesn't flash receiving a sms.

SMS Message Problem!

Hi guys,
I'm having some difficulty with sending SMS messages. Its sporadic. Sometimes they send immediately, sometimes not at all. Its very frustrating.
For example, the day I got the phone (last week) I sent 2 text messages. I didn't hear back from anyone but thought nothing off it. I checked my messages and they were time stamped with the time I sent them at so I presumed they had gone.
That evening, about 6 hours later, I got my two replies. The people had only just got them, hours later. One of them wasn't impressed because it was intructions for something they needed to do 4 hours previously!
So, I turned on delivery reports on each sent message to make sure they sent.
Over, the next two days, I had no problems, delivery reports come in immediately within seconds of me sending my SMS message.
Meanwhile, I called my network (Vodafone) to see if there were any issues with network. they reported none. I checked the message centre number and verified it against the network one. They matched, so I thought all was in order... except I would have to get annoying delivery reports cluttering up my Text message inbox until I was sure the service was working 100%.
Earlier today, I sent about 3 important text messages, got no delivery reports, so I texted my other phone to see if the messages were going through. Nada. I was annoyed.
I'm thinking.. whats going on?
So about 10 minutes ago I shut down the phone and booted up again. Within 10 minutes I was getting all my delivery reports and replies from people!
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong, what setting needs to be activated etc?
Obviously I can't use the text messaging on the device if I can't trust it to just work like pretty much every handset I've owned since... year dot.
PS: I spoke to Vodafone care team who said my sim card must be old; newer sim cards (128k) are needed for these "high tech" phones.
But I just took my sim out of my Nokia N97 (never had a problem) last week AND messages ARE going through on the Leo occasionally and only after a reboot, which is utterly pointless.
This is the last thing I thought I'd have issues with on a device like this..
Any advice? Have I missed something?
Thanks.

Same here, I thought I messed up something in the sms service or so.
Done many hard resets and soft resets. But still no help.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problems. Also Vodafone and no one seems to get any sms from me.

Okay, this ain't good!!

since you both have vodafone, and I haven't seen/heard about other people having these problems, I'd say it was voda's fault

Now tell me, why? I've never had problems on my previous phones.
I don't think the vodafone on the Ireland branch is the same as the one in the Netherlands
Kinda happy to hear that you guys also having the same issue.
It can probally be patched/fixed by htc. I googled for "htc sms hotfix"
And htc is also facing sms issues on other devices.

sigh... How will I live without outgoing SMS capability? so lame... hope you guys will find a fix soon.

seems to be the same like the sms bug in previous manila 2.1 build. outgoing messages weren't send, but only on some specific providers.

How could such a fundamental and critical phone component get screwed up? That just doesn't make sense. Anyone got ideas out there for a fix or we we have to wait for HTC to patch this? What about people who purchased a Leo and have no knowledge of this site etc deal with something like this? They buy a 500+ euro phone, try to send a text message, no joy. Baffled, annoyed, frustrated. Phone would get returned right? Not happy.

I've had this same problem on ATT in the USA

Had? so it's fixed now?

Just had this problem on t-mobile UK. The thing is that if you're in conversation mode it actually gets inserted as if it's been sent. I looked in outbox and it was stuck there, even after pressing 'retry send'. I tried a reset but it was still stuck there, so i retyped the message and sent that, both ended up being sent, with the origanal sms being time stamped as if it was sent ages ago!

I sometimes have this problem too....
O2 here.

In case it helps, I'm not having any problems on 3UK. Are you all certain it's not a network issue?

Perhaps it is to be honest... and perhaps tapping 'resend' just makes it happen in the background so it just appears that it does nothing.
I still find of the most annoying things to be the fact that the auto capitalise new sentence option to not work.... it's bad for perfectionists!!

+1 !!
It might look like it's mainly vodafone but in the UK at least it by far the biggest network, therefore it's bound to affect more voda users. Only 15 posts and already i see vodafone, att, O2, t-mobile, different countries, different networks.

This is the same issue that I've had this week with my Touch Pro running the Leo ROM, the device seemed to be turning all my SMS into MMS and then not sending them, though the odd one would sneak through. The problem has been fixed with an update to the custom ROM I'm using. It's the Energy ROM by the way. I'll send the author a message to see if he can pop on here and offer advice on the problem.

same here O2 in my phone.. even receive some messages later.. pls help us someone

No, I have not made any changes that would have fixed the problem, but it is sporadic and only occurred twice a few days ago.

unfortunately same problem on o2 uk

I have the same difficulties, and the site seems to still be down. Any thought anybody?

I've never been able to get the phone finder to work over the past 6-7 weeks that I've had the phone . Though I was able to get my phone to ring remotely twice but phone finder still didnt work... strange :/

I haven't been able to get the sense dashboard site working at all, & I've had my phone for a few weeks.
I have deleted and created new accounts a couple of times & I tried a hard reset too...
I think the problem rests with HTC :/
Hopefully they get it sorted ASAP

I would love to just make it ring remotely
could you please tell me how to make it ring cause whenever i click on ring button it says "Unable to connect to your phone to make it ring."

Doesn't work here either.
@dolphin87 have you added your phone number?

Do u turn on ur GPS?

There is never anything new on the sense website.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

it worked with me twice the first days, but now only able to ring. I locked it. says locked, but isn't... and no location. written to HTCSense, told me the server's down. so we'll have to wait. Not very serious

phone number is written right with +********
and the gps is on as well

Thanks. solved my problem.
on computer I changed my phone number to +............
on phone I cancelled my HTCSense account and re-put it again with the complete phone number (+............) and everything is OK.
The problem was with incomplete number, it would ring making you think your number is OK,
and on other hand they ask you first the country and then your phone number, making you think you don't have to put the country prefix.
Now Everything is working : phone finder, ring and lock it
of course I didn't try to wipe it.... Thanks again Dolphin87, you drove me to solution

Still not working

Try : cancel your HTCSense account on both computer and phone , redo it putting your entire complete PHONE NUMBER (+your-country.........) for example if you are french : +33 661 310 XX XX.
for me it worked! and still works after 2 days. WAOU!

For a top international company to have such a crappy outdated website (in both design and function) beggars belief .

Can't get anything to work for me, won't ring and says my phone finder isn't ticked, when it is
Phone number is entered with the proper prefix
Thought it might be down to me having a custom rom, does it work with stock roms ? You other guys experiancing problems running custom roms or Kernels ?
Cheers

[Q] Text Messages Not Received Until Soft Reset

Recently, my phone will stop receiving text messages until I soft reset. Before posting, I tried a hard reset to see if that would fix the issue, but that did not work.
Is anyone else having similar issues with text messages?
Things worth noting:
1. I can still send messages without issue, even when I can't receive them.
2. All other data services on the phone work without any trouble (email, marketplace, zune, etc)
3. It happens even when I have full service, so it shouldn't be a connection/network issue.
4. I have a class 2 16 GB sandisk installed, which has been installed since I got the phone in November (might try a hard reset without the card to see if that helps).
It's interesting that the problem persisted through a hard reset. Right now I'm trying to determine if there's a specific set of actions that can be taken to reproduce the issue, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had any thoughts.
**UPDATE**
So even after pulling the sd card and hard resetting the phone, the problem is still present. Guess I'll have to head on over to AT&T to get a replacement.
If you are having the issue, it looks like you are only able to receive 10 messages before requiring a soft reset :'(
Thanks

I'm having the same exact problem. While I was on the phone with the ATT rep, she even tried to send me a text and couldn't!

Yeah I just went through the warranty exchange process with at&t and a replacement is on its way.
My co-worker also has a focus and hasn't had any problems, and with the number of people on this forum and no other responses, I don't think it's a very widespread issue.
I'm glad I found someone else with the problem though! Solidarity man! It's incredibly annoying. I setup a cron job on my server to send me a text every 15 minutes so I know when they stop working.

I'm ready to scream. I have a Dell Venue Pro (Another Windows Mobile 7 Phone) sitting here that has been an issue since day with everything EXCEPT text messaging. I spoke with ATT rep and they "claim" its either two things for me:
1) Porting of my number still transferring. ITs been to Sprint, T-Mobile, and now ATT all within the PAST two weeks.
2) Having a Metal roof can screw up the signal. Which I think is false because I have NO problem sending out texts, calling, surfing the web.
Again, NOT a problem restarting the phone and receiving texts but after, lets say, 15 minutes and having 3 bars, it stops. Its just like how T-Mobile network acted with Dell Venue Pro with the Internet, it needed to be restarted every hour or so. I'm READY to scream! I CAN NOT believe there AREN'T others with this problem!

10 Message Limit
Oh man. Yeah the Venue Pro launch was pretty rough. I was holding out for that phone too and was going to switch to t-mo, but I didn't want to chance it with all the problems that were being reported.
I have finally found a pattern though! It appears for me that after restarting the phone I can receive 10 text messages before they stop. I found this out because as I mentioned in my last post, I setup my server to send me messages every 15 minutes. While I was sleeping, i hit my sms receipt wall and a bunch of messages "queued up". This morning I restarted my phone, and 10 messages came in, then no more. Restarted again, received another 10, and so on until all the queued up messages had been received.
So it would be interesting if you check to see if there's a hard number limit of messages you can receive.

I noticed it this morning. I was on the phone with another tech support rep last night that WAS NO help, only concluded with that, I'm suppose to go to one of their stores and switch it out with another handset. Problem with that is, I didn't purchase it from ATT since Amazon.com had it for a penny. So, that'll be a fun visit. <--sounds like I'm from the south, don't it? lol
I'm having SO much fun sending myself texts to see if it actually goes through and I receive it. Here's something to think about, the two weeks I had T-mobile, I sent out 5,689 texts. So, this feature is something I actually WANT.

Update: Swapped out the phone. I had to act like an idiot because they had NO record of my sale at the ATT store, which there isn't any since I bought it at Amazon.com for a penny.
Knock on wood, its working. Sent myself over 50 texts throughout 2 hours.

I just recently started having this problem. I didn't notice at first, I just didn't think I was receiving any text messages. I accidentally restarted the phone (crappy case) and when I started it back up I got 10 texts instantly...all from the previous day. So I thought, oh AT&T must have screwed up. A day goes by and still no texts (odd because I usually get at least 20 texts a day). So I try to send myself a text. No bueno. So I restarted my phone. 10 texts. Restarted again. 10 texts...all still from Monday (2 days ago).
I already had problems with cellular data (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867347), and now this. If this problem is being caused by the SD card too, I'm getting rid of it.

Yes, I have seen this on occasion. Seems to be random and relatively infrequent in nature for me right now though. One thing that I have noticed (and may or may not be related) is that wireless sync seems to stop working at the same time. A soft rest always makes the problem go away...

I had this problem with my 2nd focus (i dropped the first and shattered the screen) It seemed to work fine for a few hours after I got it, then stopped receiving. As soon as I'd reboot the phone, itd work till i sent about 10 messages, then stopped. I tried my sim in another phone, worked fine. So now i'm on my 3rd phone.
Id tried multiple hard resets and none of them helped - I had assumed i'd just gotten a bad phone. But it seems a more common issue than I'd originally thought. I'd tried initially to take out my SD card (Kingston 16gb Class 4) and it didnt help.

Just got this problem on my Omnia 7, so maybe it's an OS or carrier issue.

Interesting. I wonder if anyone else has had this issue on some of the htc or lg phones or if it's a Samsung only problem. I guess this means that it's not related to the sd card though!
I have since replaced my defective focus and have yet to experience any problems with the new one.

I believe I've figured out and need a few testers to verify fix. I too was experiencing same issue of not receiving more than 10 SMS text messages until soft reset. After multiple hard resets and eventual phone replacement by AT&T Technical Support, I decided to navigate the Diagnosis Codes determined to find a fix for you all. Long story short, I discovered and tested the setting that causes and fixes the issue as follows:
*#197328640#
1 Debug
8 Phone Control
7 Network Control
1 GCF
3 Setting Cancellation
End
Soft Reset phone (Reboot)
You can test by texting yourself (your mobile number)
Enjoy!

I'm not experiencing this problem any more, though I can't say for sure whether it was solved due to that diagnostic menu action or the Samsung firmware update I applied later that evening.

As long as I'm in an area with good radio penetration, the fix is a godsend.
In areas with poor radio penetration, it's no change.
So, I'll say good work tyryanjr & ATT-US
You guys improved my love of the focus tenfold today.
I should mention I am using a Rogers Branded Focus, SIM Unlocked, Dev Unlocked (Chevron), NoDo, on SaskTel's wireless network in Saskatchewan. If you are on Bell or Telus with similiar issues, give it a whirl.
To my wireless carrier, please rectify the situation, ASAP!

Factory S8 not able to send receive calls

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

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:
