Hi,
need help with 3s. Phone lately drops signal on no reason. When I unlock the phone signal comes back sometimes in 30sec, 3min, sometimes in 5min but its very uncomfortable when I have to chceck sth on internet or f.e. buy ticket quickly - impossible. Sometimes i can't send text or dial a number. Sometimes when phone is locked nobody can call me, sometimes it works properly. Factory reset is done and no change. Is that problem with stock ROM or sth broke inside phone?
Somebody had the same problem?

Hello, i use stock rom and no problem about signal, stock rom is the best one, every feature works well in stock rom, and the battery life is better than custom rom, but not at peformance, why not trying to re flash your phone? , If problem persist, it's mean a hardware problem.
Thanks for answer.

Hi,
On my XDAII (1.72) I sometimes experience a not responding phone/SMS application or radio stack.
People trying to call me are instantly redirected to the voicemail, and if I try to make eiter a call or send a text message, respectively the phone application is stalling or the SMS 'Send' button stays in the 'pressed' state.
Soft-resetting the phone or toggling the 'turn off radio' function re-establishes the radio.
Does anyone knows of a solution?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated and possibly rewarded with a 6-pack Heineken beer
weird, mines just done the same thing. I sent an sms and nothing. I was then taken to the phone screen and it said something like invalid sim something.
I'm wondering if the sim card is not locked in place. I was fiddling around with mine yesterday and maybe forgot to lock the sim card in place.
Just a thought but maybe worth checking :wink:
what radio version do you have ? I recently have the problem that when people call me, the ringtone goes for about 2 seconds, then restarts, etc.
Meanwhile I can do nothing ( green button don't work) . When the caller hangs up my phone returns to the normal state.
I use radio 1.18. Thinking of downgrading to 1.17 which people say is more stable.

Hello folks,
I have the same problem now for a week... It's driving me crazy... At
some point in time during the night or the day my Qtek2020 gets weird.
The result is that people trying to call me can't connect but to viocemail,
and I can't receive SMS. The only way I can see that I am having this
problem is that whenever I try to send a SMS I get a message "your SMS
cannot be sent", and if I try to make a call, the phone seems to dial out
normally the first second, but then the DIAL-button (which is color-less)
becomes green again...
Please, if someone knows what's wrong or if someone had the same
problem and solved without having to default the whole thing, please
let me know what is the solution.. It is really annoying, so I now have
to randomly reset my phone throughout the day.
PS: my battery is now on 4% so I have to look for my charger, and
after that I can supply with info about radio-version etc. I am running
WM2003 by the way, and I've had no problems like this before, this
unit has been working fine until now. I guess it's a sw-bug? And I
am also wondering if this problem occurs whenever I pass a place
with low signal.. hmm, it's so annoying..
Thanks for any help!

I've been having problems similar to the OP for 2-3 weeks now (found this thread in a search before posting). It's damned annoying, as it means you can't really trust your phone - am I meant to reset every morning, or more frequently? It seems an intermittent problem, in so far as I've been receiving and making calls as normal, and then you someone asks 'did you get my text?'. Gritting teeth, you call the phone from a landline to find that calls are going straight to voicemail. After a soft reset all missing texts are received immediately, and calls can again be received.
When in this state other PDA functions seem to work as normal. However, I suspect that the power display is "suspended" too. On performing a soft reset after experiencing this problem today, I immediately got "your battery is extremely low", whereas before the reset I recall it was around 50% (vBar image). As others have stated, one clue that not all is well is that sent texts do not get a "Message sent" confirmation.
I've been racking my brains as to what's changed recently on my PDA. For family reasons I've been making a lot more calls than usual, but I also added TomTom Navigator 5 a couple of months ago, and so have started intermittently using BT. But I don't use Sat Nav that frequently, and this problem seems more prevalent.
I'm conscious that I don't have latest and greatest ROM, etc, but am vary about attempting upgrades without strong reasons.
Has anyone seen and solved this issue?
Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the sim card? After a while dust and general wear and tear can mess them up. Also as it's obviously(?) a phone problem it might be beneficial to call your service provider for a new sim card.
That's what I had to do last week. Wish you the best anyway.
It can't have anything to with the sim card as I'm having this problem with a brand new sim card.
I have a G4 T-mobile Vario (Wizard) that doesn't want to perform any of its "phone" functions. i.e. no calls in/out or text messages etc. The phone itself is on and is showing a full signal but when you try make a call it will start dialing and almost instantaneously hang up again, occasionally with some beeps to imply the call has failed. Has anybody come across anything similar? As far as I know the unit hasn't taken any knocks and all other functions are working okay.
Any help would be appreciated
*Update* Even the GPRS works! I don't understand!
similar problem
im almost having the same problem, mine goes from full bars to zero and back again while the cpu stays at 100% with no signal, yet somehow i can still get edge and connect to the net?
Have you tried flashing to a later radio version, like 2.71? It may solve your problems
ive tried 4 different radio versions.. it seems to me that the software that runs (service?) on the phone at startup that enables it to make voice calls keeps crashing and restarting and ive tried this on 5 different roms too and same result, it usually takes 5 - 10 soft resets, but it pops up and sometimes keeps crashing indefinitely and sometimes it eventually connects.. any ideas?

phone is blacklisted. imei banned
imei blacklisted?
Hi,
I am having the same problem as the first poster of this thread.
My phone is a T-Mobile Vario
SPL 2.021.0001
IPL 2.021.0001
Radio 02.19.11
Protocol version 4.1.13.09
Rom version 2.21.2.6 WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Basically, I have what appears to be full signal strength. I make a phone call and it says "dialing" then immediately says "Call Ended" with a 00.00 time for the call.
If the imei is blacklisted is there any way I can get it un-listed?
Or is there some other fix I can use to get it working?
Regards,
John
What is a Blacklistet IMEI? Is it a stolen Device?
G4 with no phone ability
Hi,
Still have the problem posted in my earlier post.
I have tried to contact T-Mobile here in the UK using the "contact us" page, rang the numbers - nothing!!! Their phone system does not work.
They have a phone number listed where you supposedly can register your phone as lost or stolen so they can blacklist it, but the phone number does not work! If you are on T-Mobile you supposedly can phone them using 150 but that doesn't work either! So I can't phone them to ask if my imei number is on their list and if so how I go about getting it removed.
(I bought the phone off e-bay last week, and guess what? The seller hasn't responded to my e-mails asking if he ever made any phone calls using this phone!)
So at present I have a semi BRICK, the PDA part works perfectly well, just the problem with the phone bit.
If anybody has any ideas about what I could / should do next regarding the phone, I would like to hear them!
Regards,
John
Have you tried flashing to a new ROM? Its unlikely that it will work, but perhaps it will solve your problem.
Hello All.
I open this topic because I can't find another one about the same problem...
I loose the signal many time per day (sometimes 1 or 2 times per hour)
With the latest official ROM : I loose signal and I must enter pincode to reactivate phone.
With ALL other ROM (from 1.5 to 2.1... I tried a lot of them....)
I still loose signal, but, without having to pass trough the pincode screen to reactivate the phone.
- sometimes It found signal alone
- sometimes I must enter/exit airplane mode to find back the signal
- sometimes I try to enter airplane mode but the phone never stop loading airplane mode and I have to reboot the phone.
This bug appears when I'm in an area with a low signal, or after sending 5-6 sms or making 1-2 calls in a short time.
I'm with the latest Radio JU. (I re-flashed It many times)
I have this bug, since I bought the phone. And I'm waiting for the famous "update" since October...
With every New ROM I hope It will work and It makes me waiting for the official. But none of them really worked...
Am I alone in this case ? I never heard something like that (I heard about the low strenght of the signal reception, but not a bug like me)
Must I bring back the phone to the shop ? Or the next update will do something ?
It really does sound like there's something physical wrong with your phone. I have never had any problems like this, and i havent heard of anyone else that had that same problem.
I'd take the phone back under warrenty (remember to flash original ROM so you lose root access if your phone is rooted) and get it fixed or swapped for a new one...
hmm really does sound like a problem specific to your phone.
to be honest I've never had this problem.. and I would suggest that your inability to find anyone else with this "bug" would mean nobody else has either.

Thanks for you answer, you confirm what I suppose : hardware problem.
I'll wait for the official update, I'll try a rooted version .
If there is still the problem I flash the official one.
And after that if it is'nt better , I'll bring it back to the shop (It's under warranty until September).
Hi guys, i have a T00j, and i have a stupid big that is really annoying. When i enter on zone with poor gsm signal, like an underground floor, the phone turns on and unlocks the screen, if i have the phone in my pocket it starts pressing menus or calling people, sometimes it goes to settings and you can imagine the problem...
Already tried the updates, hard resets, the phone had it board and screen replaced under warranty and the problem stays on.
Anyone had this? Any idea to solve it?
Thanks!
I think you are on lollipop .87 stock rom..
I faced same problem when I updated to .87 ..
not only that, my phone would lose signal and never searched for signals, my phone would be without signal until I noticed it, and I had to reboot to get back signal..
my solution..
I downgraded to lollipop .60
as I thought it was most stable of the lot..
before that I was on kitkat .54 which to my experience is best rom for zenfone 501cg..
Hope this helps you..
to downgrade.. Search the forum..
Thanks for the help, im on the .87, i will try the .60. with the downgrade you didnt had that problem anymore? I will try it and leave feedback!
no..
. 60 is definitely more stable than the rest..
try it.. you will be happy...
I still use . 60..
I've been using AICP for a while (Marshmallow), but haven't done an update in a while. By a while, I mean that I don't think I've flashed anything in weeks. Suddenly, I cannot make or receive calls today. Yesterday I made a number of calls just fine. I checked all the standard possible causes, dialer apps, default apps for phone, etc. After no success, I decided to flash back to stock.
Now I'm on stock 6.0. Same problem, cannot make calls. All I get is a screen which says "dialing" until it makes a tone sound and hangs up, never rings anyone. My phone never rings or responds when other people call. I do have full bars and service, and my APN is set up properly with AT&T in the USA. SMS and Data work fine, and so does WiFi. No other problems at all with the phone. I've had it for about a year and a half with no real hardware issues other than a loose charging port. No drops, no cracked screen or anything.
I'm wondering if anybody has a clue about what the problem with my phone is. I'm willing to generate and provide logs if there's a way to do that which could show the issue.
EDIT1: Derp, just tried the SIM in my girlfriend's phone. Seems to by my sim card. I'll go to AT&T tomorrow and report back here if the issue is fixed.
