Guys i have the tytn on tmobile and i am having a problem with downloading web pages. I am on 3g umts but it stalls at locating page when i first type in an address. It does this at every new address i type into pie, when it finds the page its lightening quick, i have checked my settings and they seem fine.
When i say stalls i mean for upwards of 60 seconds, my rom is :-
Rom Version 1.18.255.3
Rom Date 05/30/06
Radio Version 1.03.03.10
Protocol Version 32.34.7010.01H
Ext Rom Version 1.18.255.105
Anyone any ideas
i have this issue and it really is starting to bug me, it is like a long waiting game, i am currently logging a fault with tmobile. They said some sites went down in London. They are still in the process of upgrades over the next month so it should sort it out. If not call back to investigate.
Mmmm that seems strange i am in Newcastle and i have just tried an o2 sim albeit with gprs only and that seems to have the same lag. Not sure if this is carrier problem or firmware

are you on GSM/GPRS for both networks.....?
I was on UMTS for the tmobile sim and gprs for the 02 sim
Just tried it again with the o2 sim and it is fine hangs on locating for no more than 5 seconds that i assume is fine, this must be a tmobile problem

might be worth waiting for t-mob to officially launch the device - then you can try their rom... there might be some settings that have been modified for use
I think it is a tmobil problm. I am in central londoon and it is terrible. I am going to reset the phone without vodaphone extras and see how it is. My 02 sim works fine 3-5 secs to locate a website at same location. Will update you lot on findings.
I have the same problem on my TyTN, bought it unlocked at expansys spain. I am using Amena (spanish operator), so I guess it should be a rom problem and not a provider problem. My device details:
Model No.: HERM200
ROM Version: 1.18.255.3
ROM Date: 05/30/06
Radio version: 1.03.03.10
Protocol version: 32.34.7010.01H
ExtROM version: 1.18.255.105
Also, this "locating page" issue happens with wifi connection, not only on UMTS, so it is definitely not a provider problem but a rom/software problem.
This is more widespread than i thought, havent tried wifi yet but if that is the case then its a rom problem
Will try wifi later tonight and post my findings
Chris
Wifi works fine for me instant page opening
Speed Test's required please
Could some of you run a speed test from the below site and post results and links.
T-mobile (UTMS) in the uk and GPRS
www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest
I need to foward various test into Tmobile to investigate from different users.
Instructions
Start a personal test
Other
Wireless:UTMS
let test Run.
I am at work at the minute with no umts i will do this as soon as i get home tonight
FYI I made the test (even if I'm not in the UK, and not using T-mobile).
SFR / UMTS in Paris (La Defense):
179 kb/sec not really good ....
I just run the test and i am getting 1.1 mb/s, i did sign up for web n walk pro but that isnt supposed to start till 23rd August, strange
just repeated the test and it say 851 kb/s

hi -
the problems: since flashing 2 weeks ago my vario III only works for voice and data in gsm only mode - with 3G enabled i generally can't make or receive a call or connect to data, but the device . Everything works when i switch to GSM only...
The complications/wierdness: straight after flashing a new rom or radio i have sometimes been able to get the device to connect to 3G or make a call - but this usually only last for one session or so.
What i've done: i've installed just about every combination of ROM and Radio i can find - including all of the 6.1 radios with Dutty's 6.1, the "official" vodafone 6.1 rom, alex's, schaps, and i've tried going back to 6.0 roms and the 1.27.12.32 and .11 radios but still the same
what is the verdict? bricked? or am i missing something....
<crosses fingers>

I don't think it's bricked.. if it was bricked your device wouldn't even turn on.
Did you hard reset after each flash?
Was it working before your original flash?
answers to both: yes
- working fine before i flashed it
- I've been obeying Dutty's rebooting advice - how could I ignore instruction given in bold AND capitals?
I'm having the same problems. Thinking of putting origional ROM with radio back on and removing hardspl and returning under warrenty but cant find origional splash screen anywhere! Help would be appreciated
had the same problem with my tilt...changed sim card ...different roms ...radios ...basically everthing i could do....but in the end called at&t and they sent me a replacement...goodluck
I had a similiar situation but with my GPS.
The Tilt I bought just 1 month ago was a GPS Champ, always acquired a lock quick. I had flashed XDA-Live v1.5 right over the at&t 1.62 Rom (after HardSPL of course).
Then I used th enew SIM/CID Unlocker (with the hacked Polaris Radio) and of course flashed back to the at&t Radio (from the leaked at&t 1.60 Rom).
Since then I had a coupel of times where the GPS locked-up and required a soft reset.
So yesterday I flashed a WM6.1 Rom and a Niki Radio as I've seen a lot of user report excellent results.
It made my GPS useless. I quickly reflashed XDA Live v1.5 (with the Radio from the at&t 1.60 Rom) but my GPS still seemed lost.
Ironically today is day #29 of the 30 on this Tilt so last night I removed HardSPL and flashed the Official at&t 1.62 Released Rom using the Official exe and everything figuring I'd returnt he unit today.
Wouldn't you know it, I tested the GPS and even on the untouched at&t Rom it was working better than it had ever worked before!
Now I know that the Radio in at&t 1.60, 1.61 & 1.62 are *supposed* to be the exact same but I can say that the over from at&t 1.62 fixed a problem that the 1.60 Rom's radio couldn't. Yes, I do a hard reset after each flash already.
Heck when my daughters return from Disney I'm going to flash the 1.62 version fo the at&t Radio onto my oldest's Kaiser and see if it improved her GPS also.
seems like everyone who replied has a tilt not a VIII. Are you sure your settings are correct for your network? that would be my first guess at this point input them manually and dont use the connection wizard app as sometimes it doesnt work right. also check your phone settings make sure its set to AUTO or UTMS only if all else falls force it into 3G mode using the Band settings post your results back please

hey I am having a similar problem at my house when i first got my tilt i have a very strong 3G signal here. That tilt messed up sent it in and this new one that i got worked just fine till i flashed a new rom on it now it wont pick up 3G unless i go somewhere else and come back to my apt. And yes i HardSPL'ed it and hard reset after flashing. I even went back to stock tilt rom and that didn't work. I have tried all the radio's on this forum from stock to the new imported NIKI radio's nothing has brought it back. When I go get the 3G signal elsewhere and comeback god forbid i have to soft reset because there goes 3G out the window and locked to edge. Should i return to AT&T for an exchange or is there a fix i'm not finding?

The Tilt Roms by default don't allow manual band selection.
Bad Data settings wouldn't cause poor reception just inability to connect (regardless of 3G or Edge/Gprs) for data sessions.
Based on my experience I would say first test is to do the work and reset your phone to the latest shipped Carrier Rom for your Carrier and see if your problems persist.
When I was having my GPS issues I also had a few wierd Call issues like calls not disconnecting (I had to toggle the phone radio to actually end the call).

I had the same issue with a t-mobile(UK) viii. The issue appeared after a while using the phone before I'd got into flashing different ROMS. In the end, i had the unit swapped out and the problems went away and have not returned. You can assume its a hardware issue. I went through the is it your SIM, is it this... is it that... after explaining that basically i was right next to a 3G transceiver in a big city.
Like I mentioned, this was a fault which developed after two months of no issues.
Old hardware version (looking under battery cover):
DATE:061107(TB02)/EU
New phone:
date:090807(RB01)/EU
I have had the same issue. I have returned the phone today and exchanged on my insurance. the new phone works fine.
thanks for all the feedback - shame there isn't a fix ..
austinsnyc: thanks for your help...
- i was using the connection wizard (difference i've noticed was that it includes a proxy server which i don't when i set up manually) so i created a new connection manually
- i've changed to 3G-only and i got "no service" (though i have previously got it to work)
- i put it on auto, it registered 2G then showed 3G signal in the taskbar. Tried to connect to my manually created connection - no joy: "cannot connect for an unknown reason etc".... then i got "no signal" for about 30 seconds, then full bars of gsm, then shows 3G again....
changed back to gsm only - works fine.
I'm not exactly sure t-mobile are going to take it back!... i'll have to hunt down the original t-mobile uk rom first....
got my new tilt in yesterday and it works totally fine like i thought in my apt. If you could wilbur i would definitely get a new one i think its the phone itself.
lol so i checked to see if switching off the 3g on my new kaiser then switching back would cause the same problem and it sure did so now im stuck with edge in my damn apt. again. I wonder if these new kaiser's they're shipping out are different than the old ones, when i first bought mine at launch oct.5, 07 i could switch back and forth between 3g. Now with 3 new tilts i have gotten i cant do it anymore this blows Damn i should have never given that first one away damn
so annoying...
i upgraded to the latest Dutty Rom (the 6.1 hybrid) - sure enough, straight away after flashing i was able to use 3G to make and receive calls, and to make a data call (but it was really slow)... then, within 30 minutes, i was back to the old phone: cannot connect a 3G call and no connection to data... so annoying - i'd almost prefer it didn't work at all than tempt me with the prospect that one day i'll find a rom that works...
anyway - I'm going to need to replace it - anyone know which rom/radio combo i'd need to flash to convince the guys at T-Mobile to take my VIII back? and btw - does anyone have any experience of trying to return handsets covered in scratches?
can anyone tell me if these problems are linked to Flashing ROMS? Since i had my last Vario 3 replaced ive been apprehensive about flashing if this is what broke the last one but i really want to flash it again.
Hey guys,
Once again a topic about the issue...
This time I want to exclude somethings about what said before... I hope we get a clear topic about, what some of us have a problem with, the 3G issue.
My situation:
T-Mobile MDA Vario III;
L26_KaiserDiamond_V9
ROM version: 3.55.502.1 WWE
ROM date: 06/25/08
Radio version: 1.58.25.17
Protocol version: 25.69.30.05H
Living in the Netherlands @ Alphen a/d Rijn (this for the dutch people that they know if there is a good 3G reception)
I travel alot trough the BeNeLux, France and Germany... in the first 2 weeks when I bought the device I had a 100% 3G/HSDPA connection. After a while the ROM get annoying because of lag in the phone calls. (Those where you have to wait a 15 sec. before you can hear them and they hear you...) So I got me a ROM from here and everything went fine... *like always*
Then it happend. After trying a few ROMS to decide what suited me the best (wether WWE or NLD) I noticed that reception to HSDPA (4 reception stripes in my hometown) was very low (about 1 sometimes 2), now as I speak it goes from 1 stripe H to 4 stripes G...
I spoke to T-Mobile Netherlands and they said never had such a problem. I even talked to the technicians of T-Mobile and even they didn't reconized the problem. They took a look at it and couldn't find any problem sofar... tough they don't think it's a hardware problem because it could make a connection to the HSDPA network...
Even with a other provider (KPN) 3G isn't possible but a low HSDPA connection IS possible...
T-Mobile is now investigating if it is a simcard connection failure or something in my contract... (contract couldn't exclude 3G usage)
So is there a possibility that something while flashing a new ROM set off the 3G reception...?!
Suggestions for where the problem maybe could come from:
The HardSPL;
SuperCID/CID;
Application Unlock;
ROM version;
Radio version;
Protocol version;
Regards,
Noxious Inc.
Change your radio, see if it helps.

Think it's your deviece bro.
Hi I need a little help. I just bought a new HTC Cruise and I cannot make or receive calls on ATT Edge network. I have a band new sim card from the local ATT store that works just fine on my old cell phone. I used the connection wizard when first booting the device and it saw the ATT network and auto configured the phone. It told me i had voice mail. I tried to make several calls and all i got after 10 or so seconds was 3 quick beeps and a disconnect. I rebooted the machine and now it will not even connect to the ATT network. Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Tried a hard reset?
yep tried hard reset.
update:
For anyone else who has had the same problem. My resolution came when I tried many different ROM versions and Radio versions before i came to a set that finally worked with AT&T EDGE netowrk in the USA, NYC area.
You need to make sure that any cooked ROM version is based on a 19214.1.0.4
I used udk Vega R3. Rom based on an AT&T ROM.
and MOST IMPORTANT!
You need to use a "murata" radio 1.58.21.23 NOT JUST ANY 1.58.21.23 ! they do not work well with EDGE networks.
My reception is incredible now.
I have a strange problem with my TyTn II (brought over from Vodafone UK) and now trying to run on Vodacom in SA.
Everytime I hang up a call the connection status changes from EDGE to 3G and then I get "No Service"! It re-connects about 5 mins later but sometimes it only says it is "connected" but I can't receive calls or make calls.
I'm running one of the HyperDragon III ROM's (stunning ROM) and I have tried almost all the radio upgrades out there.
Does anybody have the same prob?
Or could any south africans not experiencing any problems using the TyTn II on Vodacom Network perhaps let me know what their set-up, ROM and Radio software versions are.
Much appreciated.
Thanks
Currently:
TyTn II
ROM: HD_III_Portege WWE (3.sj.hd.03)
Radio: 1.65.17.56
have you tried turning off the 3g with the comm manager? try making a call that way and see what happens
Have you tried asking this question in the hyperdragon thread in case it is rom related? If not you need to do so or try to flash another rom to your phone and see if you still get the same problem. If you think it was a radio problem you could ask in the radio thread which is very informative.
sd73ta,
Thanks that does solve the imediate problem. Tho it would be nice to have the 3G work
Cheers
Tytn II SA
Hi
I'm using Garmin DK 6 Final Rom with radio 1.71.09.01
I am however on MTN, but did perience the same problem on previous roms
Spider24
hi
i also use the radio EMO 1.71 but on MTN and have no problem with Garmin DK 4 manilla final
spider 24 & matthieup
Thanks for the info. I'll check out Garmin DK 4 and see if that works beter.
Cheers
I've reverted back to the latest HTC Rom. Had little problems with almost all the custom ROMs.
hi hexa
I had the same problem. And also broke the phone from frustration.
Last week i did a sim card swap. my old sim card was 2+ years old and...
everything is fixed! no more issues, no more "no service", no more dropped calls. the phone is much faster as well.
i use a kaiser diamond rom and always run fring. no more connection issues!
Hey tpiece,
That's interesting. My sim is also about 2years old by now..
I'll see what a sim card upgrade does to the phone.
Thanks!
Cheers
well changes are that this is the problem. If your sim is that old, changes areit is a 2G sim, not 3G hance the problem you can when trying to connect to 3G. First thing i did when getting my tytn II was a sim swap
No Problems
I am running the latest HTC WM 6.1 from HTC site, Europe, and have not had any problems with Vodacom.
I think your problem could be related to "tower hand-overs".
I used to experience this with my old TyTN on cooked ROMS.
I reverted back to the OEM version of WM 6.1 and all the problems were resolved.
I know a while back even Leaf had radio problems on WM 6
Hi all,
I have a strange problem with my Polaris - when I drive my car and talk over the phone, it looses coverage and the conversation is being dropped. I think this happens when it changes the cells from 3G to 2G.
I used to have the problem with the original Windows Mobile and now also with WM 6.1 - the official ROM from HTC.
ROM version: 3.13.405.0 WWE
ROM date: 08/21/08
Radio version: 1.59.42.15
Protocol version: 25.85.30.07H
I have never tried to flash it with a "cooked" ROM. Do you think some of the ROM releases here will fix this issue?
I just want the problem fixed, so I will be thankful for every suggestion on how to do this!
Thank you in advance!
Regards!
Hmmm.... I guess it could be hardware error.
I have same ROM and I don't have such issue. My Polaris is also almost constantly switching 2G/3G (regarding changing coverage).

I am sure about that, Bodisson! I have a friend that has no problem with it also.
Maybe it is a hardware issue but I have no idea what to do in order to fix the problem. I bought the phone from eBay and do not have a valid warranty, so I do not know what are my options now, except to try changing different ROMs and see if I find a "magical" one that fixes the problem...
Bodisson, thank you for your response!
Any other suggestions?!
I have similar problem. Got my polaris a week ago (new) and had few droped calls when i'm in my bedroom.
Rom version 1.28.405.3WWE
Radio 1.58.25.14
Phone indicated bad signal reception (2 bars), but when it loses 3g coverage, it gets excellent reception (4 bars). So i changed phone settings and in the band tab choose GSM (i use GSM anyway) instead of Auto for my network type. No dropped calls since then (hope it stays that way ).
I'm new to the game to, but if this doesn't work for you or you need 3g, i guess you could try updating your radio. This could solve your problem (or worsen it, depends on the version people say )
Hope i helped. Ivan
@ Ivan: Is your ROM WM 6.0?
Because original poster and me have WM 6.1. And stuff happening to you happened to me while I was on WM 6.0.
Altough, I had to send my Polaris to service due to erratic BT and GPS behaviour. It resulted by changed motherboard...
Yes, my rom is 6.0. The solution i gave fixed the same problem for me on 6.0 so i figured he can try it...
I have had the problem using 6.0 also...
I am unable to try the suggested from ivanx method at the moment but as soon as I can, I will post the results here.
Unfortunately, as I said, my warranty is not valid in my country (Bulgaria), so the phone cannot go to an official service (I do not trust any other service here...).
Thank you guys!
