Hi there,
I got a Tytn since about 2 months now. I never used the image that it came with but since i tried about 3 or 4 different images and at least 5 different radio versions, I am seeing the device acting really strange. The symptoms I see are:
- device locks up while in sleep mode and sms / calls are not being anounced / logged
- devices loses reception really often, switches to gprs when it had 3g reception 1 sec ago, doesnt want to do calls on the first try(sometimes I need 4 tries)
Sometimes I can solve the problem by setting the device to flight mode and then back to nonflight mode.
Im not sure if it is a hardware problem with my device. When I got it I was barely able to get the stylo in the device or out. Since a few weeks, after some thin foil coming out of the stylus sloy, the stylus goes in fairly easy. Im not sure if that messed up something with my hardware, for example some antenna connection or sth like that.
Do you got any ideas what I could try to fix the problem? Or would sending in the TyTN be the best way to solve that problem?
Thanks for your help,
Pascal

The problems you outline have all been dealt with in various places in this forum. Use the google sticky post to search.
Some of the more practical issues - stylus, hanging/freezing are dealt with here but also at my mini hermes site:
http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com
However I might be tempted to go for an exchange given the range of issues you have and what may be damage to the radio. (I am not convinced there is damage - the dropping calls issue has a work around - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070 that allows you to choose a set band.)
Depending on where you got the phone may determine whether you need to return it to OEM ROM before returning (if that's what you choose to do)

I guess I will just go for a return of the phone. I still got a Nokia e61 lying around here. Does anyone of you have any experience with the htc support? I boght the phone at an o2 shop in germany. I guess they will go for a sendin to the manufacturer.
Cheers

I just returned my tytn to the shop today. Too many problems with this device. Could anyone of you tell me if that is usual problems or if the tytn runs fine if it is not being touched?
If it does I will get a tytn again, if not I guess i will go for a blackberry or a palm treo, or just stick to my old phone (nokia e61)
Any ideas?
Cheers
Pascal
mine works fine... havent experienced the sleep of death or anything of the sort.. some people seem to have it more with certain roms than other people.. but mine over all is working good...
update your ROM
Hello,
To resolve your problem , you need update the ROM to version Black Diamon, 01-04-2007, radio version 1.07.03.10.
Hello, long time lurker here finally posting
I got the Touch Dual 2 days ago on Orange, and so far ive been pretty perplexed by the reception. It is consistently 1 or 2 bars lower than my old Blue Angel that i have sat next to it, and it loses signal at work in places where my previous TyTn never did. The main problem however seems to be regaining signal after losing it. It will stay offline for literally hours...the only fix is to switch it off and on again, and even that doesnt always work. The strange thing here is the 3G icon comes back up instantly and it will go online even though it cant make/receive calls.
Is it a dud handset, something wrong with the network or can anyone shed any light on the matter? I really want to avoid getting a replacement from Orange as i have already had 5 refurbished TyTn's since Christmas that were all faulty.
have you flashed a different radio to it or left it with the original?
I had flashed the latest from NetRunnerAT folder but started having the same problems, reflashing the original sorted it out
happen the same to me,
i change the config to gsm only. that helps.
still im looking for a signal booster cos i think its a touch dual matter.
maybe it can help a little. at least thats what i heard. im thinking about a generation x.
dont know yet.
what u think?

ha...changing to GSM only jumped the signal from 1 bar to the full 4. Kind of annoying such a small thing should make such a huge difference
Thanks for the tip!
I think this is more to do with HTC phone as I have a nokia which when side by side with my touch the nokia gets a full 3g signal and the touch only get 2 bars.
I also had the problem that it takes ages to pick up a signal after being in flight mode or doesnt pick up a signal at all. Anyway I ended up sending it to HTC for reapir (for this and many other problems) have just got it back from repair and they said the replaced the mainboard but it does seem to be picking up a signal now.
Hi Guys,
Just a really quick question here. I have my telus HTC Touch still... I recently moved down to the states and now how the HTC FUZE. My Touch is still in great shape and I was wondering what your idea's were on how I could go about making it into a PDA with GPS running Tomtom or something like that.
I already have tomtom and what not installed on there (I used it tons when I was up in Canada) I just dont need the phone features really! So if someone could give me some direction on how to permanetly shut off the phone features that would be great. Like I said. I like the thing as a toy still so to have it still be usefull instead of sitting in a drawer would be ideal. Maybe leaving it in the car as a GPS unit or something.
Thanks!
Aaron
Just disable the phone, turn on airplane mode.

I'm thinking more along the lines of having even the buttons remapped so that the phone pad wont pop up. So when you press the call button tom tom is launched or if you press the hang up button another gps program is launched.. that way in order to actually GET to the dial pad I would have to open it up through the programs or something.
Is this even possible? Does anyone know how I would go about doing that?
You could use a program like AEButton plus
I'll try that out. That said.. I've discovered that my touch wont start up the GPS antenna. I left it sitting on the dash of my car as I was driving around. The service with telus is long since done and there was originally a hack on the phone that got it to get a gps signal in about 5 seconds from a cold start. It dialed into some server and bang.. worked perfect.
Now that I have no actual phone service on the phone it CANT dial into that service and there for it wont get a GPS lock. It's weird that the GPS antenna is tied directly to the cell antenna though. Kind of a downer cause now I literally do have a paper weight.
I DO have an external bluetooth antenna I could use but its a serious pain when compared to just being able to start up the phone and have GPS work.
im running the nfsfans rom 1.04 with the 3.41 radio not the newest version 1 back
i baught delorme for like $20 CAD a long time ago werks like a charm and looks and werks waay better on WM than on the computer!!?? weird eh!
I have no service with my telus vogue
all werks good!!
ae button will remap buttons for whatever function you like just dunno if it werks for the vogue......used it for other hardware before.
best of luck in the US from us here in Ontario!!
The Fuse already has a GPS & can run TomTom.

Yes I know that.. and I use the GPS... But I still have my touch so figured I would turn it into a standalone PDA/GPS unit..... So I have another one for when a friend comes down to visit in florida. Save them some cash on renting a GPS unit from the car rental place... or a second one so I can let a friend borrow it, or just as a back up! Who knows! Two is ALWAYS better then one right?

is the desire hd brand new? if not i'd say thats a fault/feature someone's enabled to save battery or something! hope you get this sorted! it's not that useful if you cant lock your phone without losing signal!
This is not normal. My Desire HD never had such things, and no phones should.
Sort it out with the seller.
HTCs warranty statement covers damages even if you root your phone (at least in India).
Before going back to the store from which you bought the device, you might want to root and try a different ROM and see how that turns out for you.
If that works out for you, then you know that its not a hardware error, and you could maybe do something like flash a nandroid backup. On the other hand, if it doesn't work out, you really should go back and ask for a replacement.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for replying
i tried different radio ,
i tried different rom ,
and no luck

Hello,
I recently got P10 Plus VKY-L29: 4/64.
It got update to 8.0 version.
At the first time I tried using WAZE, there was no signal at the start, than I got signal untill end of the drive.
Now I don't have any GPS signal whenever i try.
I Tried WAZE/google MAPS and also some "gps fix" apps from the store.
Can someone has idea?
Thanks
I have no GPS signal on my P10 Plus either.
Tried all GPS fix tools nothing helped.
Any advice?

Hi guys,
Same phone, same problem.
I installed GPS test. It found several GPS but won't fix on any satellite. At maximum signal 36.
I tried to edit battery power saving. But no luck.
I don't know at to do. Any help? Please
i have the same problem. But my phone cannot find any satellite.
Hi guys,
I made a video. Even I do hard reset and stuff it does the same.
From my understanding the GPS antenna is working right?
But I think it's software. It can't fix to any satellite.
Video:
Same phone same problem here. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Seems odd so many cases... is this a common issue with the P10?

Was the GPS working before you upgraded to Android 8?

Hey,
In mine i cannot get any satellite connection. I've been able to downgrade back to android 7 (Factory) by using Hisuit from the computer.
However, no luck, i think its an hardware issue or problem with the antenna. Sometimes my gps is able to lock after half an hour of driving, but usually not.
Any Fix??
I finally gave up and returned my phone. I think its hardware problem so no possible fix.

I tried that too and the result was the same as yours.
There is no solution I think. I tried lieterally all software mods and tweaks you can imagine. It is HW problem and I bet that gerabest knew about it during selling.
I had the problem, I changed the device in the geabest and another one with the same problem arrived. They gave you back my expense.
I bought a oneplus6 ... problem solved
I also bought the defected device from Gearbest.

Guys we should unite against gearbest and do something, this is extremely annoying. Anybody got a full refund on the device or something?
Yes, i have got full refund, including postage.

Hi guys,
I had the same problem on a P10, No GPS, no satellites, tried all kinds of GPS repair apps, no luck, I ended up opening the phone and started to look around with magnifying glasses and noticed that there was a few metal components that were contacting some copper plates on the back of the phone. So I decided to clean them all with rubbing alcohol and q-tips, and guess what, GPS is working again !! Its been 5 minutes as I'm writing this , but hey, Its woth the try !
Good luck guys !
Guys, I have found a way to "solve" the GPS problem.
No guarantee that this would work for you.
Here is what I did:
1. keep the phone ON, and eject the sim card try and take out your sim card, put the sim try back in (i still had my sd card in there)
2. turn off the phone (not restart)
3. turn on the phone ( I had my wifi, and location service on )
4. check gps apps and satellite start showing up.
5. eject sim card tray again and put the sim card back in, insert the sim card tray back in.
6. carrier info showed up and gps/satellite info still there in apps. :good::good:
I just found this and will continue observing.
Good luck
Looks like works!
Magic!)
