Does your Trinity/Dopod drop calls regularly?

My Dopod D810 from 3 drops calls regularly.
I think every single call will drop out after about 1-2 minutes. I also notice that when my phone is 'warm' from charging or other uses, the call can drop as quickly as 10 seconds into the call.
Initially it was suggested that the drop outs were due to my Phone > Band selection being set to 'Auto' but I have since changed this to Network Type=WCDMA and GSM/UMTS band=UMTS(2100+800).
But now I'm more inclined to think it has something to do with the device's temperature....
Any other ideas other than taking it back to 3?
Try changing the Radio ROM.
I had a similar problem after changing my Radio ROM from 1.41.00.11 to 1.46.00.11. Now I`m using 1.46.30.11 version and everything is OK. I even noticed a GPS signal level improvement.
I have the similar problem too. I m with 3 Australia. Upgraded to WM6 official ROM, still observing if call drop still happened.
If not, will take back for warranty repair
I am using a HTC-branded P3600 with the official HTC GPS-enabled WM5 ROM on the Vodafone UK network. With reasonable approximation I can say that I have 0 dropped calls (including calls made or received while in car).
My network type and band selections are both "auto".
Sometimes I make calls while the phone is charging via USB from a laptop (which makes it rather warm) but I haven't noticed any dropped calls in that situation either.

Excellent idea. I'm currently using Radio version: 1.35.00.11...if I go to 1.4x - are these compatible with WM5?

I`m using a WM5 LVSW edition. Used it with 1.41.00.11 for 3 months without problems, changed to 1.46.00.11 for 2 days and encountered call drop issue, changed to 1.46.30.11 and not even a problem so far.
I am using my trinity with 1.41 and WM6 (AX3L) and I really never drop a call unless I step into an elevator. I am usually on UMTS or HSDPA living here in NYC and cannot complain about my service nor the phone.

I'm using version 1.35.00.11
Thanks for all the replies. Went ahead and upgraded ROM and Radio version to 3.00.707.16 and 1.46.30.11, respectively.
So far, no problems with call dropouts but I haven't made many long calls on it over the last 2 days but will keep assessing.
On the previous incarnation, I had also installed/uninstalled a LOT of programs over the 6 weeks I had had the phone so perhaps that contributed to the phone's instability too...
For me, it kinda worked the other way around...
I never experienced any call droppouts when I still had the original WM5 ROM with radio version 1.33.30.10 on my Dopod D810. (I'm with 3 in Australia)
After upgrading to the ANZ WM6 ROM with radio version 1.46.30.11, I can sometimes not even establish a connection as the call is dropped after the first ring or so. The other day I had to make a call 5 or 6 time to finish the conversation...
Is anybody else having similar issues AFTER upgrading?
Hi guys,
good to see that i'm not the only one that have call drop regularly.
Well, in fact, those are not always call drops.
Sometimes i miss calls and some other times, when i want to make a call, i see that my trinity's loosing the signal and starts to search for networks. Then i have to switch off the phone through the Connection Manager, then turn it on again so that i can make phone calls.
Are you experiencing the same on your device?
I'm still using Radio ROM 1.38.00.11
Do you guys have a link where to download the latest Radio ROM so that i can try it on my Trinity?
Thanks.

Yep, I experience drops after upgrading... But the strange thing is... even after downgrading to the shipped rom... still drops... ARRGHHHHHH
I'm just going to try another rom I think... not sure yet. Have switched my band from auto to fixed. First gonna see what happens.
Some said it is due to 3G/3.5G trying to establish a data connection (most likely for push mail) and in doing so the phone function is disabled. I did not verify this claim.
If anyone wants to test it, you might want to try:
1. disabling 3G and 3.5G
2. disabling data connection
and tell us the results!

I will disable HSDPA. But I cannot disable my data connection because that's THE reason I bought my device for (using it for pushmail but I can use that with UMTS/GPRS connection also, don't need HSDPA for it).
I have found if I have network on AUTO i cant make calls, phone call drops straight away.
Switching to GSM allows me to make calls, but then I have no 3G
Found that radio rom 1.46.00.11 has no calls dropping for me. So I'm gonna stick with that one.
Cheers.

I have this ROM actually installed in my Trinity, and i still have call drops regularly
Once more today, it started to ring, then lost signal.
I'm wondering how much people has the same issue.
I used to have the same problem. I've reflashed my phone so many times coz of that.
But it seems like my problem's finally fixed
I'm using the most updated PDAVIET wm6 rom with Radio: 1.50.08.11
Been using that for about 2 weeks, haven't had a call drop since.
However I have had a few hangs here and there.
I run a lot of apps so the memory is pretty low most of the time. Yet for some reason I'm not getting any call drops so I'm happy. (Finally able to talk for like 15 mins without breaking up)
just fyi i'm also with 3, and don't have that band setting since I luv HSDPA yet certain areas only got Telstra reception...
Calls drop out
Hi, I'm in Sydney with 3 and haven't had any problems at all with the shipped WM5. After upgrading to the latest official WM6 ROM version 3.00.707.18 from the Dopd site things went bad with phone calls and weak signals.
Now upgraded the Radio to version 1.50.08.11 and everything's back to how it 's supposed to be.
Cheers and good luck.

Problems with Radio Reception

hey,
i've changed my network provider a few days ago. before the change and also now i'm using the Duttys Topaz WM6.5 Leo R0 WWE rom.
since i've changed the provider, i have problems with my radio reception. when i'm inside a building i mostly do not have any radio reception at all.
i've also tried another radio version and at the moment i've installed the original htc rom. still the situation is unimproved.
do you know why?
thanks for ur answers!
If you have changed provider...and your phone is the same, suddenly your network reception falls down.... then it's obvious what is causing the problem I suppose. Your operator doesn't have a proper coverage.
Yup, It's almost certainly your network
You've done all that you can to diagnose the issue you have; Essentially, you've got poor coverage compared to your old provider.
I'd contact them soon (today, if possible) and make them aware of the situation. If you're not happy, you can either spend money on a range extender (you may not be able to install these in your workplace), or change provider back. Call them sooner rather than later, though. They may have a small time period (in the UK called a "Cooling Off" period) before contracts become binding, allowing you to test services and make up your mind before you're tied in to the contract.

Did you test in the same building with other phones? Unfortunately, it seems that the diamond 2 don't receive in areas with low signal ...

yes I did. my friends, who have the same provider, have a really high reception whereas I have none. so it can't be the coverage of the provider..
I don't know what to do :/
If it is not due to the hardware, HTC could solve the problem with a forthcoming version of radio or Rom.
I hope that this solution will be implemented with the next official ROM WM 6.5!
Hi
If others have good reception and yours is none with the same providers something is wrong somewhere,the HTC Touch Diamond 2 isn't that bad for reception, I've found quite good in very marginal areas.
You need to check your phone isn't set to just 3G, but Auto. It might be you have no 3G coverage but your phone is set not to switch to 2G which other phones you are comparing against are using.
To check this go to settings and click the Communications option, scroll down to Band and then make sure the settings are Auto and Auto. Has that helped.
Regards
Phil

ok. i know its not right to post it here. but please someone help ?

ok i seriously need some help. MODs please delete this if you feel like it. but i really want to know the answer for this since i posted it in the OT but no one replied.
my problem is signal issue with the EVO roms. specially from Mdeejay EVO roms
i downloaded the cayanogen rom and i have no problem with the signal " specially if i use it in 2G connection. its almost all the time full bars. while on 3g it sometimes varies between 2, 3 or full.
however, with Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 1.6 Revolution" and the other "warm evo" rom the he made. i do have the signal problem .
it sometimes show to me no bars at all just dots. even tho, if i call, or someone call, it goes through ...i think lol
it keeps on playing with the bars.
whats up with that? i am using a Tmobile version of the phone. " no i am not in US but i wanted extra ram/rom
i have been told that the HD Euro version has better signal. is that bs ?
anyway please please please someone help me with my question about the signal. its killing me. i love this rom so much i want to keep it. even the wallpapers are ****ing amazing. but this signal bar thing is driving me crazy
Honestly man i can't help you! I have signal issues also in all Android roms! I don't think Euro HD2 has a better signal!!! At least mine doesn't!
I feel so bad when i see an old nokia with a full signal and mine is 1 bar or none! I tried radio 2.12, 2.14, and 2.15 all the same and signal fluctuates a lot!
But i should tell you this: I like your nickname a lot!
for startes, have you tried flashing a different radio?

i might be an idiot if i answer this honestly but so be it. i didnt really flash the system. my friend did it for me . he told me its the best and fastest rom available for HD2 to froyo " built in andriom app to boot also "
all i do is just change the andriod roms by changing the folder on SD card and it does the rest lol.

i see your from lebanon ? keefek 7abiby
anyway. actually if you install the cayanogen rom. and switch the network signal to 2G only. it never drops below 3 bars in my case. which is good for me " i dont use 3G at all. and never planing to. i have wifi all around me "
I have the same problem with m-deejay builds.
The connection keeps dropping. Try using a darkstone build. Works fine for me.

I've tried to solve it by using darkstone's kernel but this does not work as well.
Others have this problem as well if you search in m-deejay's threads. I think you should try solving your problem there

ok i downloaded a program called no signal bar. from the market place.
it basically notify you when your phone is out of coverage.
and it works very well. so now. if i get a no signal bar from the rom, my signal notifier tell me that the phone is didnt lost signal. i try to make a call and it goes through. its accurate.
so i am happy for now. at least i am not afaird if losing signals when i see the fake bars from the rom playing .
i even tried to call my self when the signal no bars while the program " no signal bar"tells me i still have coverage. and it went through . i am happy panda... for now till i get a better fix for this
3G does not work when the bars are not displayed.
You can see this in the phone info application when you type *#*#4636#*#*

1- for some reason this number doesnt work for me. i am using Tmobile HD2 and the Evo Rom . might have anything to do with it ?
2- i really dont care about 3g. i just dont want the signal bar to keep showing there is no signal with its 4 dots crap signal when there is in fact a very good signal.
its like how the iphone 4 used to display signal that is not true.
are we the only 2 here who have this problem ? lol might be defective phones? lol
you can install the program called NETWORK from App store and basically change the setting to GSM (PRL) from that program

i have tried around 3 builds so far or 4.
the only builds that has perfect signal bar to me is Cayanogen Builds " where in the setting there is an option called " Use only 2G networks " and have that checked.
any other version " specially if its build based on EVO ? " has a problem for me.
i am surprised not many are talking about this really.

[Q] WP7 signal status

Is WP7 reliable?
For example, how is the signal?
In android I get frequent signal drops, more than 50% of the time.
And is there a way to get WP7 in Dutch?
Because I red there is a special radio for WP7, I tried it before but at that time I wasn't convinced. Though, at this time now I'm ready to give it another try.
The only thing I want to know is, is the connection better with WP7 or is it just the same deal?
Thanks in advance

its pretty much the same to be honest.
I find i get a better HSPA connection now, but in low signal areas my GPRS signal is shoddy, i think it really does depend on your network, from my understandings different radios have different settings that may or may not match / work with the network as well, there is also the eliment of battery life which will only give you about a day when in a low signal area.

Network Issue : High Ping Value

Anyone experiencing Network Bugs ?
Poor Internet.!
PUBG is unplayable.!
BUT Reception is Good.
That happens because while playing pubg our hands are in such a position that they cover the upper and bottom part of the phone completely. The upper and bottom part of the phone are plastic so they recive better internet signal. So next time you play try to hold the phone in a way that there is some space to "breathe" for that part.

Well, i'm not alone. Yes in 4g the connection is very poor and where there is low signal often is unable to transfer data. In my house, for example, where the signal is low, even if it get 4g, is unable at all to transfer data. I need to force in 3g to have network.
I opened a thread on zentalk forum some days ago: https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-236917-1-1.html
Please, write too on the thread, so that asus can take note of the problem and improve the situation.
In 3g the antennas seems to work better. I hope they did not make poor 4g antennas and that they can improve it with software update

What rom do you tried? I checked on lineage "official" and the baseband is the same of the latest Asus official, so i think that on lineage the problem still occurs.

Network Lag Only on stock ?
I don't think so..bcuz I tried pixysos..

I was able to relock bootloader after pixyS..
So plz share

Same here.. You are not alone.
LOCKING TO A SINGLE NETWORK BAND IS THE ONLY FIX.
Solution ->
1) Use only 1 SIM with 4G enabled.
2) Disable 4G in 2nd SIM and select preferred network type 2G/3G for it.
