Hi,
I have a really weird problem with my wildfire.
The mic is kinda broken on my phone so when people ring me they cannot hear me and I cannot record sound when using the sound recording app.
I thought this was a hardware fault, so I rang Virgin (my mum got her phone from there and its the same one) to get it replaced.
However, when I stuck my mums sim in it, and they did a factory reset, then a test call and it worked fine. When I did test calls to my family using my mums sim it worked fine, but then as soon as I put my t-mobile sim back in it, the mic stops working again.
Does anyone have a clue whats going on with my phone?
Thanx
Aaron

So u must be thinking that the t-mobile sim is giving the problem related to mic.
Anyway try this. Connect the wildfire headset and check the mic status of headset with t-mobile and other sim's. If u can have a working headset mic with t-mobile sim , then that might not be related to sim.

Very strange problem indeed. Do you have an idea what happens if you put your sim in, lets say, your mum phones? If the problem is SIM related, you should be able to repeat it in her phone, especialy since it's the same one.

One more thing for u.
Go to market and download "Z-Device Test". It shows the functioning of all hardware. May be it will help u to diagnose if it is hardware issue.

Hi, just purchased tmobile compact from my mate who is off to a sunnier place, ive unlocked it and put in a pay and go o2 sim, everything worked fine, i installed tom tom 5 and that works fine but now on the phone side it says no service. everything was fine before, gprs etc (manually put in details supplied by o2).I have done a hard reset but the problem still exsists. the sim works fine in my other phone and my vodafone sim works fine in the mda.Is there something really simple im missing here, your help would be appriciated, cheers
Cant anyone help.?????????????
Hmm, I've never heard of this one before..
Have you tried unlocking your phone again? Or do you perhaps have a Duo Simcard pack? You know, where you get 2 simcards so you can always have a backup in another phone (I had that with my previous Vodafone subscription). If so, are you sure you don't have the other phone turned on?
Your "mate" didn't call up his phone company and get the IMEI number blocked after he sold it to you, did he? Man, now that would suck!
I had the same problem, I fixed it by upgrading reflashing radio rom. It might work for you.
i have unlocked it again.no joy........not using duel sim holder and it hasnt been blocked, just seems strange it was ok as i said then this....no service message,
update..... the mda seems to accept all network simms apart from o2........as i said it did work fine ........i just dont understand it, can you ?????

Did your "mate" also have the phone on the O2 network? If so, they may have somehow locked the IMEI. If so, you should be able to call them to allow your phone to work. Having their network know that the SIM card doesn't match who they think owns the Mini is the only thing that makes sense to me...
o2 sim works in my samsung d500........my bt (vodafone )sim works in the mda, i just cant see why the o2 sim wont work in the mda anymore.
I guess this has got us all beat, thanks for trying though.
Just spoken to o2 who say the mda has no blocks at all on it, and they couldnt figure out why the o2 sim no longer works in it.
I just recently got a t-mobile to go sim card. It works perfectly in all my other phones, and when i put it in my unlocked 8525, i could make and recieve calls, but no one could hear me whatsoever, i couldn't use any automated setups either those couldn't pick up anything either. are the specific settings for t-mobile that i need to use? The voice recording feature in notes works fine, but im not sure if it uses a seperate mic for phone. Speakerphone and the headset does not make a diference, also, I can hear myself on the phone.
I have the latest HTC Qtek rom and I have bootloader 1.09
Has anyone had this problem and can anyone help me?
I also tried it with a cingular sim card and there is still no voice
I hard reset the device and tried both sim cards and it still didn't work. is my 8525 broken? Also sometimes when I try and turn off the phone in the comm manager, it turns right back on and i get invalid sim and no service unusually often, and other times it. I think this might be a radio problem.
Does no one want to help me? or does no one know how to?

I think we don't know how. Can you access another sim from another operator and try that. I'm inclined to think there is more than just a software tweak required here and that there is a more serious fault.

Well, I tried both a t-mobile sim card, and a cingular sim card. neither worked. Also I'm pretty sure that this all started happening after I unlocked it using an unlocked code that I got from a remote imei unlocker, is there any way to reverse that? to make it locked to cingular again?
Hi i have a Hermes phone i bought off ebay approximatley 3/4 weeks ago.I have put my sim card in from my contract phone and been using it. I upgraded it to the Schaps newest rom and it has worked brilliantly untill now. Recently i have been unable to accept or make calls/texts or recieve them. When i try to ring it just does that annoying beep thing from the phone speaker. When i try to call it it said Calls are not currently beeing connected to this phone. I have looked and the only thing that google says it could be is that the phone is barred. Is this true? What can i do next? Help please..
Thanks in advance
Hi everybody! I am the happy owner of two devices: An Athena and a Kaiser. infortunately, in both devices I have something in common: No incoming calls. I've tried many ways for solving this problem, instaled roms, hard reset and soft reset and the incoming calls work for a while but later, passing the hours the problems gets back and once again, a soft reset . The last thing for pointing my suspicios is the posibility of virus. I'll be thankfull for any suggest, whatever possibility you can offer me. Cheers!
The chances of you getting a virus on a pocket pc are almost non-existent and plus just like if you were to reformat your computer (which gets rid of viruses), if you did a hard reset, that would have definitely gotte rid of it. The reason you're having problems with the calls is because of your radio or sim. Try changing the radio and you should epereince better call quality.

Thanks for your answer. I already have tried many radios and the sims card of both phones have tested in other devices and works perfectly. The problem in when each sim is in the Athena and Kaiser, respectively.
So you're using the same SIM on both devices?

No. The Athena is mine and the Kaiser belong to my dauhter. The Kaiser has only one month with her but recently both phones are with this problem, only in incoming calls.

Antennae problems? But that would affect incoming calls as well?
sounds more like a reception problem to me, interference in your area?
does it work well if you put your SIM card into a normal cell phone?

I only have smatphones, and yes, I have tried the two sims cards in other devices and all goes well, so I discard the sim trouble.
Here is the problem.
Altough i get full signal, i can't make/receive calls.
If i make a call it disconnects and i can hear a string sound (similat to a guitar).
If i receive a call the voicemail answers.
I cant make calls like *100# or any other stuff.
I changed the Radio, from 2.97.xx to 3.34.90 (or similar) then downgraded to 3.21.90
Is this a virus?
After i make a soft-reset i can make a call, but after 2-3 minutes, i can't make anymore.
Please help.
Btw, i'm using Orange.
Thanks in advance.

I'm also interested as to why you downgraded the radio? Did you get the issue on the 3.34 version? If not, can you not just put that back on?
I'd try hard reset before anything else like nnph said.

I had the same problem with an Orange SIM and the solution was simple.
I had a card SIM of 32k, I changed it for another 64k and problem solved.
Orange charged me 5 euros for the duplicate card, that's all.
in order to get to the bottom of this you should try:
1.if you consider the sim to be the problem: put the sim into another phone, see if that works
2.if you consider the phone to be the problem: try a hard reset! think if you had the problem before/after radio upgrade? if hard reset not working then try a different rom/radio.
If none of the above works for you than start to take into consideration a hardware problem, which I really doubt !!
Ironjon, did you had the exactly same problems?
I also have Cosmote, but it was doing that only when i had weak signal.
In other phone is working.
But i think it's sim's card fault. I only paid for the phone 25 E, it had broken speaker, i had someone to repair it for free. I'm not very upset if it not works, at least i can keept it for wi-fi and games.

Yes, I had the same problem.
I tried with 3 SIM cards of 32k and did not work with any.
I tried with some SIM cards of 64k and works fine with all.
