Hi everybody,
I have an 02 xda mini s and I cannot make or receive any phone calls. I was given it by a friend almost brand new. I put a Vodafone sim in it and for the first few weeks it worked fine and I could make and recieve phone calls no problems. All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, I couldn't do either. I can send and receive text messages fine however. One other thing to add is when trying to make a phone call, it goes to ring out as usual, but at the point of when a phone would normally ring it cuts out and you can hear 3 very faint tinny sounding beeps. It is very irritating as it is excellent at everything else but I just cannot use it as a phone
I would be very, very grateful to anyone that could help.
P.S I have noticed on several forums there have been similar question with no responses, perhaps this is something quite rare or unheard of.
It could either be a hardware or a software problem. Have you tried backing everything up and doing a hardreset and seeing if that solves the problem?

Hi, yes I have done several hard resets. I have tried different sims from different companies to no affect. However once in a blue moon and by pure chance it works again and I can make phone calls but it doesn't last long.
It sounds like a hardware problem then, I'm not familiar with the Wizard's internals, but it could be either a loose connection on the motherboard or just a component dying. If it's either of those things, someone on these boards might be able to sell you a replacement, but you'll have to take the thing apart, which most likely means ending up with more screws then you started with.

Cheers for that, I doubt i'll take it apart though it will end up with more than a few screws left over if I do it, I am am danger when it comes to electrics. Even if I did I wouldn't know what to look for. I'll see if I kind find someone more electrical minded than me to do.

Alright, good luck. From your last goodbye, I'm just going to assume you're from the UK, you could try taking it to an 02 store and seeing if they can do anything to help you. You're not a customer of theirs, so they will most likely tell you to go away, but it is worth a shot.

Yeah I am from the U.K. I could take it to them no probs, probably won't be cheap though. If needs be I could always stick and 02 chip in there or find someone with a contract o2 chip.
If needs be there must be a phone repair shop nearby, London is a pretty big place .
My luck has been mixed with phone repair shops, but I've only been one or two times to one of the mall kiosk style ones. If it turns out getting it replaced is a no go, I'd suggest selling your current Wizard on ebay, and then turning around and buying a fully functioning unlocked one.

Yeah its an idea. Cheers Matey.
I have almost exactly the same problem, 3 faint beeps when trying to make a call.
The phone I have is a T-mobile MDA Compact that has been network unlocked.
The problem is that it is unable to make or receive normal calls. The symptoms vary across networks, with vodafone being the most functional. The symptoms are as follows.
----
Tesco Mobile: - no service.
----
T-Mobile: Connects to network and shows a signal, but no call functions work.
----
vodafone: Connects to network, shows a signal, can send and receive text messages, can make 999 calls.
Can't make or receive normal calls:
When trying to dial out the display goes from "dialing" to "call ended" and three quiet beeps can be heard, the dialed phone never rings.
If called from BT landline the caller simply hears "Error" and callers from other mobile phones hear a variety of different tones (engaged, beeps etc, varies with different phones)
If the phone is switched off, the callers get the usual "the phone you are calling is not available" message.
------
The phone has a CheckMend certificate to show that it is not lost or stolen, and T-Mobile have confirmed that the IMEI is not barred on their network.
While attempting to fix this:
I have reflashed the phone with several ROMs, run the unlocker several times and updated the radio from 1.12 to 1.13, but the original problem remains unchanged.
I have e-mailed HTC support with my symptoms but as yet have received no reply.
Big Big Big F*****g Problem
Hi, can anybody help me. I have f....d my XDA mini s, i need a WM6 rom XM6r3 on SD card, i cant acces my ACTIVE SYNC. Pls send me a link with these ROM.
Could you elaborate on what the issue is a bit more? I believe the issue is most likely that you have "ADvanced Network Functionality" checked in USB-PC settings under connections. Try unchecking that and seeing if you can then connect.
Hi every one
I have a question since I have got to use PDAs and now the Hermes "JasJam"
actually, a very important feature is missing from this wonderful set which is:
THE INDICATION OF WAITING CALLS
In spite of the fact that the manufacturer has already known this and u can reach it through..... setting .... personal ..... phone .... services ...call waiting .... "notify me"
even if u tick this option, but u cant get any notification of waiting call, actually this is very embarrassing to keep calling someone who had an important call simultaneously to your call .... but the problem is when he is unable to cut it and answer u !!!!
and in this time, (because u havent that FANTASTIC feature of indicating a waiting call) u keep calling this one until he get crazy and shout:
STOP CALLING MAN !!! I CANT GET UR CALL BECAUSE I HAVE A VIP CALL .... DONT U SEE A WAITING INDICATION??
u have to see my full red face in this moment ....
anyway, I'd like to hear your comments accordingly !!
Call waiting -> Notify Me only works for incoming calls to your phone and this setting is for switching this on or off on the operator side. It will not show if the party you are calling has call waiting enabled. At least not with HTC 's 3.54.255.3 WWE ROM and 1.48.00.10 radio.
I had a sony ericson phone that used to do this... I loved it! It was probably the only thing I missed when I gave it up for my 8525....
If I called someone that was talking to another person it would beep and say that the caller was on the other line... it was so cool, I used to freak people out , they thought I had ESPN!
That's my 2 cents, but I figured it was manufacturer dependent...if anyone knows how to enable such a feature that would be great.
actually, this is so strange for a high reputed company just like HTC to miss this useful feature !!

in fact, not only sony Ericson do that .... all Nokia phones (even the model 3310 which was released in 1999) got this feature !!!
For HTC, we always hear about upgradings, new O.S, new ROMs, new Radio Roms ..... while the fundamental issues are neglected ... or at least not being dicussed at all ... !!
for business uses, if your cell phone (PDA, mobile... whatever) has'nt the standard features of a real phone, then it considered paralyzed
I've got hermes, and Im proud of it .... but all of us hope from the manufacturer to think right, and to update in the right side ..... it is important to have a good utilities of cell phone better than changing graphics & icons ..... and that what we usualy got from HTC and other companies:
upgrading in APPEARANCE not ROOTS
Hope everyone comment ..... in order to reach a friendly discussion
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone had any ideas what might be going on. I have an orange spv m700 unlocked, and re-radioed to make GPRS work on vodafone payg sim.
The phone works fine 90% of the time, but occasionally, I'll miss calls when I knew I was in an area with reception. I then get the message off vodafone call minder saying I missed a call, sometimes immediately. Sometimes I've even had people next to me ring, and not got through even though I had reception - though most of the time it works, so its hard to diagnose.
I was beginning to suspect that it might be something wrong with the sim, as it used to happen with my old phone (same sim), so I rang vodafone to get some help but they said they couldnt find my phone and so couldnt help me.
Has anyone any ideas? Do I need a sim update? How can I get one?
Thanks
(incidentally, I cant get mms working (using settings off this forum) but arent particularly bothered, I just thought it might be related)
Sorry, no SIM card issues. I can assure you that because mine has same issues, asked my phone provider for a duplicated SIM, and with the new one, had exactly the same bug.
Right now, my S300 is in Htc hands, being serviced, no clue if it's gonna be fix, replaced or worse, being sent right back to my hands as was sent to them, because that has happened once already to me. Bought this PDA on 3/17 and it has already been sent to Htc twice, I only had it like 2 days in my hands. First time they did notthing, hope it doesn't happen again, and I'll get it back to me fixed, or I'll throw the PDA down the window and never buy any Htc device again.
Good luck mate, and if someone have some useful info on this, please share,as I would like to know the fate of my S300.
Good I didn't SuperCID it out of the box, and waited to check everything was OK.
Hi,
I have my x1 now for a little less then a week, and I have to say, as nice as one side of it is, as bad it is on the other side.
Maybe its just THIS special x1, but I have massive calls, when ppl tell me it went straight to mailbox, or they tell me, it rang 10 times and then the mailbox came on.However, my phone never rang!!!!
This is a massive downturn and makes me want to trow it out of my window.
Anyone else experience this kind of problems?
Maybe its a network problem, I will inform my provider too. But this shouldnt happen. This fone is my life line to my clients, and if they call and they cant reach me they call an other supplier and I cant afford that.
So anyone else with tha kind of problem?
Thx
H
I have also had this happen to me, a friend called and the first thing i new about it was when i recieved a text alert telling me i had missed a call.
it would be nice, but my provider doesnt offer this feature....
so this is some kind of software glitch...anyone else???
If this is a standard the x1 is gone for me. Cant afford to loose clients
hey all,
i am from Austria, bought the Nexus S from intlo.com in LA in the states.
The phone was fine for 4 weeks, after that a bad squeezy noise starts when i am doing phone calls or when i receive phone calls.
No reset, no battery out, no SIM-card change did help.
Same bad sound when i use the earphones, so it seems like it is a real hardware issue.
Contact intlo.com, they told me to contact Samsung US direct.
I did that but Samsung told me that when the phone is out of the US they do not support customer service although i am having a US name and address where they can send it after repair or replace. They denied the support coz i was calling from an austrian phone number.
Now i contacted intlo.com again, they are very friendly and doing the pickup, repair and send back service for 230 US.
For all they are same curious like me using a new phone, importing from a different country - hands away from action like that. As long as you don´t need support it is fine!!!
An expensive experience i made now, i like the style and functions of the phone thats the only reason why i am doing the try with the repair service of intlo.com
But f... Samsung for their non support.
The funny thing, Samsung Europe is not supporting as well coz the phone is still not available here.
I wanted to give you all my experience with that my issues around that stuff.
best
is that the only bug that in the phone that is annoying you?
i think i have the same noise during some of the calls.
i don't think it is a hardware issue, if not i'll be getting it way more constantly
it only happens when i use SetCPU
yes: Samsunk customer support is really horrible, i've been more than a month without a phone, they lost it, and still having trouble finding me a replacement, i'm calling every day to get to the bottom of this

Hey,
well the problem i had from the beginning was that the speaker-volume, always a noise when the volume was too high. I could only reduce the volume to switch it to the highest point and then back to the lowest.
The bad noise starts 5 days ago, impossible to do many phone calls a day with this noise, same like you using the phone close to a radio.
I did a complete reset to factory-version 2.3.1, no apps installed nothing but still the same issue so it looks like a hardware issue.
I am looking forward that intlo.com is organizing a replacement for this phone now.
They're just being safe. Anyone can claim to have a U.S. address and call from another country. Should have just used Google Voice and called back if it's all because of the number you were calling from.
I mean, when you give them a Name, address, phone, email whatever and they don´t have any costs with that there is no reason for that reaction.
To tell me that the phone is losing the warranty coz it is out of the US is the biggest bull**** i have ever heared.
Which mobile phone stays in the country where you bought it all the time, well then it is not a mobile phone.
This service is a shame for an international company. Let´s f... the customer, thats their target, sad but true.
