Hey guys. I decided that I was going to try upgrading to the latest radio 1.50 the other day. And after having a few problems with missing calls I decided to go down to the last newest one. Well same problems. So I basically just worked my way back to 1.41 which I was using before I upgraded
Still had a few of the same problems. Not that many.
So now I went up to 1.43 and so far so Good. But I noticed that when I dial my own number it waits an very unusually long time until it starts to ring.
Wondering if you guys have any suggestions. It screwed me over last night as I was supposed to pick somebody up from the airport and never got any calls because of it.
Thanks
I am using
HTC Official WM6 Rom
1.43 Radio
Cingular 8525
Just tried Hard Reset and still same problem.
I've searched the board alot and havent really found this before.
The phone Rings right away when I hear the other phone ringing.
but when i dial the number there is a good 6 second delay until it actually starts ringing.
hrmm... i try to convince myself "if it aint broke, dont fix it" but when i see new radios and roms coming out I get excited, but now this just gives me more of a reason to stop messing around.
I'm on R2A generic official and running radio 1.10.25.18. The phone will just disconnect from the network even when at full or almost full signal practically every time I receive an SMS. I don't know if it's me picking it up and holding it, or if it's just doing it itself but by the time I type my text to reply it's not connected any longer and I have to wait. It seems to only be happening recently but it's persistent. I'm normally pretty cool but this is actually starting to anger me.
Does anybody have any suggestions on a better radio to install or some possible solutions?
I'm trying to get the phone back to Voda firm when I can put my Xperia down for a minute so I can get the KB problems looked at. So don't really wan't to HardSPL and go unofficial just now.
Thanks.
Hey dear devs,
so ive got a little problem. Im a flashjunkie and tried all the different firmwares. All eclair firmwares JM1/3/5/8/9 went fine for me and i had no problems, but since the first froyo (JPC) ive tested, ive got a little problem with froyo.
First some things about me and my phone. I live in germany, my provider is o2, and i also bought a brandet o2-phone. The first day i got it, i flashed to JM5 and unbrandet it, but now to my problem:
My phone hangs somtimes and very sporadic (1-2 times a week) normally after longer calls >10 minutes.
But let me explain a little deeper. It first appears with JPC (my first froyo).
Im doing a longer call and when i finish i take the phone of my ear and have a look an the display to end the call. But i cant click the hangup button. The green listener symbol in the upper left corner is there and blinking. The only thing i can do is to press the menu-button to get back to my homescreen. All is working fine then, but i cant do or recieve any calls because the upper-left green listener symbol is still there and blinking.
When i try to go to flightmode the phone normally hangs completely, only a reboot is fixing the problem. I also had the prob one time within a call. I was on the phone and suddenly my partner was gone.. i didnt hear anything and he also didnt hear anything. Same symptoms: green listener symbol blinking, and when trying to switch to flight mode, the phone crashes. Only reboot is working.
This problem appears in ALL froyo firmwares i tested (JPC, JPK, JPM, JPO), and yes a wiped, i cleared all caches, i reflashed all the firmwares, flashed with kies, flashed with odin (with and without repartition). So i did all the stuff we all used to do to get this problem fixed...
I first thought it was a failure of the beta-firwares, but also the JPO has the problem. There is one thing that might have to do with it... I live a little bit outside of the town and in my house i have a low signal. The problem appears in 9 of 10 cases in the house until now. That might be bad luck, because its very sporadic, and normally i do longer calls only when im at home... But it may also be part of the problem, perhaps because my phone wants to change the to another umts-provider, that has a better signal?
I also thougt that it may be a sim-problem, because my sim is about 5 years old. But i ordered a brandnew sim from o2 and yesterday i had the failure again. It only appears after or right in the call.
Has anyone experienced same problems? Or can help me find out what problem i have?
Thx for all answers
Cheers, Donald!
hi!
yes, i can second that! i have exactly the same problem with my o2-germany-provided SGS, even though I unbranded it by applying the scandinavian froyo-beta via registry hack. So far I did not find any solution. Sometimes this even happens during rahter short calls of 10-15 min. Too bad
Yes i can confirm the Problem. I'm with O2 Germany too. First I thought it is a Problem with both party's hanging up the same time. But I couldn't reproduce the problem at will...
So, the only thing, we can do at the moment is to wait for official o2 brandet firmware. Does anyone know when it will be released?

Until now i haven't heard about a release date...
also on jf3!!!
i've got the same problem! but i had this bug already on stock eclair jf3!
so i updated via kies to official jpo ( i also tried jpc, jpm, jp6) and my phone still hangs sometimes. is it possible thats just a strange behavior on sgs with o2 germany?
or is there anybody else (other country or carrier) getting the same issues?
i get this bug every third call (when calling longer than 30 minutes)
....
hmm.. perhaps we found something that causes this o2-bug... There is a discussion in the german forum android-hilfe and there is mentioned that the homezone-indicator signal might be the failure, that you might have enabled.
So what about you? Have you also enabled this feature?
Today i called the O2 hot line and they told me that O2 did not receive the Froyo update from Samsung yet. So they haven't had a chance to test the Froyo release. That mens we have to wait for Samsung to give the update to German carryers for testing. I mean if they encounter the problem too they will fix it since it is a real annoying bug.
Look also at this boards and threads about the same issue:
ht_tp_: / /_ww w._ handy-faq._ de/forum/ samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_forum /174359-probleme_empfang.html (german, translate. google. de may help )

(remove spaces between first parts of the links, as - unfortunately - I'm not allowed to post links cause of my "newbie" status )
I've got the same issues (hang after/while phonecall, aborted call, no net service and so on..)
Same problem here!
BUT mine locks up every 30 Minutes!
And I use drei.at (Austrian Provider) NOT O2.
So it seems, that its not a specific Problem within O2 only

Hi,
there is finally news on that.
O2 meanwhile confirmed the issue to be connected to the homezone display in the Froyo firmwares.
They propose a solution where they delete the homezone data from the SIM card without affecting the homezone functionality as such. Just the homezone icon will not be displayed anymore.
So the assumption it has something to do with the O2 homezone became true.
Here is the thread (sorry, its German) in the official O2 forum:
http://forum.o2online.de/t5/Geräte-...-o2-WCDMA-massive-Probleme/td-p/45714/page/27
I just wonder if some clever developer here could even remove the homezone icon functionality out of the firmware. I somehow do not trust O2 to come up with their solution quickly enough...
Thanks
Andi
I have been using a DVP for about 3 months... i got 2 DVP replaced and this is my 3rd one... in all these DVP's i found that the signal isnt always full and every hour or so it say NO network and then in few minutes, it gets network back. Also when i am indoors my voice breaks...
i DONT KNOW IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MY SERVICE PROVIDER OR THE HANDSET ITSELF. ANYONE ALSO FACING THE SAME ISSUES?
P.S : when i insert the same sim to another phone it works flawless!
did the new firmware (out yesterday) help?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i still didnt get a new update notification. probably i live in india and it is still not out here...
I had/have these issues. The first DVP seemed to get worse with cell connection the longer I had it, 2 months. Took it back to MS store and traded out for another DVP. Having some of the same issues. Not able to completely put the blame on T-M since second DVP has same FW (105) as the first DVP. Irritating to have dropped calls and/or no signal standing outside on a clear day (PHX, AZ). Heck, don't even walk under an awning no signal at all. Would like to figure out if this is a FW problem or T-M problem, but with the new FW update being pushed back yet again to whenever and no access to other FW....
Another problem is that the phone will be sitting on the counter and hit the power button and it shows a cell and data signal. Once the phone is picked up and unlocked, all signals stop and no signal until phone is once again on counter for almost a minute.
T-M no help on phone or in store. Dell no help. Looking at other options at this time.
i Even sent a e-mail to dell, telling them to rectify this problem as soon as possible.. i am waiting for their reply... i will keep u posted once abt the reply...
Hey Everybody,
First off I'll start with what phones/firmware etc etc I have so that I don't need to be constantly writing it in the post.
My phone: i9505 W/ custom firmware, custom kernal etc (basically the custom phone of all phones...I'm a flashaholic...) 100% unlocked BTW
My bosses phone: i9500 W/ Omega v10? It's the latest Omage but I'm not too sure as I don't hang around the i9500 forums.. His is also 100% unlocked.
The other day I did some researching and looked into the 'Boost Mobile with Telstra SIM'....Glitch? I guess you could call it that?
Well anyway, I finally went ahead and did it.
I went up to Telstra and picked up 3 blank SIM's, one for myself, one for my boss, and one for spare.
I ported my number to one of the blank SIM's and, when I went to turn my phone on it came up with 'NO SIM'. I found this quite strange so I took a nandroid and re-flashed my rom.
Same thing... 'NO SIM'. I tried a whole heap of different combos (kernals, modems, firmwares) but finally had enough, so I went and put the SIM in my bosses phone...Long and behold it worked first time.
This confused me a lot considering it appeared as if my phone couldn't even recognize the SIM.
So, I got back on live chat with Boost and activated the spare blank Telstra SIM, and ported my number to that.
3 hours later, I got 3G signal on my phone...I waited for about 10 minutes before getting all excited, and it stayed! It looked as if it had worked!
My cheers were a bit pre-mature however...About an hour after that I got the 'NO SIM' error again.
I went through the same steps, and was up till late trying to figure it out but I ended up having enough and just going to sleep.
In the morning I got into work and the boss said just try re-flashing stock firmware through ODIN. I had tried this last night so I'm not too sure why this would work, but anyway I tried, and I got signal!
After my pre-mature excitement yesterday I wasn't too sure this would stay working..But throughout the day I received calls, texts and browsed the web and it didn't let me down!
I then started driving home...The minute that I got home, I received the dreaded 'NO SIM' error again.
I went through the same steps as before (flashing modems, firmware custom roms etc etc etc) and it still didn't work.
So anyway, I got onto Boost chat and, three hours later they came to the conclusion of sending me a blank SIM...A Telstra blank SIM...
This SIM is now in the mail and should be here mid next week. But if it's anything like my previous two blank SIMS then it won't work.
So..I'd just like to know, has anyone here got any ideas that could help me? The only way out of this that I can see is buying an Optus $2 sim, porting my number to Optus, then buying a Boost $2 SIM and porting my number back..But this will be a little tedious and they may have issues considering the ammount of blank SIMS I have been through.
I'm willing to try any ideas that you guys throw at me, and any input would be muchly appreciated
Cheers guys/girls,
PS, I have looked at this thread but it appears that they didn't find a fix other then sending it away: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197422
