HI i have a MDA Compact and upgraded from 1.11 qtec rom to 1.12 with bigstore patch applied. The phone seem to be fine but some times when i go to make a call it does'nt seem to dial just sits there saying dialing. If I hang up and leave the phone for 5 mins it seems to go back to normall.
Signal strength is fine, 4 bars & i am calling a landlline thats not engaged.
Would upgrading the radio stack help? Is there a guide on how to do this.
Thanks in advance
i want to keep it constant on, like i had on wm5.
Start - Settings - System - registry wizard - tweaks3 -GPRS Always ON
that eliminates most of the reconnects but not all of them.
that doesn't work.
i'm using a tracking software and to get the LAC and the CID for the cell that i'm into the connection has to drop. when i used faria's AKU3.3 with crossbow icons i used that tweak and it worked on WM6 doesn't

It depends on what radio you are using. The only radio that I know of that will not cause GPRS connection issues is 2.19. Anything higher than that has problems reconnecting to GPRS if you lose signal.
The problem is that 2.19 doesn't have coverage as good as the other radios. Someone is working on a fix for the 2.61 radio stack with Faria. the thread is over in the Wizard upgrading forum.
No problem 2.61
I have 2.61 Radio ROM and no Problem. Imedeatelly I disconnect phonecall, GPRS is reconnecting. Very fast. German T-Mobile settings. And no problem. Using octratalk and have no problems beeing connected to googletalk, icq and msn.

You are lucky then. It seems most people trying to run 2.61 on any of the WM6 ROMs have issues. I put it on MBE version and immediately had missed calls and SMS message (yes, coverage was excellent, and very quick to acquire GPRS connection and all, but calls would go straight to VM for no reason one time, and come through the next). Never had this issue with 2.61 on AKU 3.3 or stock 2.25 ROMs.
I also put it on Faria's WM6 ROM and had a similar experience. Not even trying 2.61 on the mUn ROM.
Just installed ranjus rom with radio 1.18. Few questions...
1)it still comes up with the o2 splash screen when I turn on, and it asked me all the o2 question(it is originally an o2 xda exec). I wouldve thought installing a totally new rom wouldve wiped all this??
2) im now using my orange sim in it, but it won't connect to a 3G singal(it didn't do this before I put ranjus rom on it either)
O2 Extended Rom Customisations Are Probably Not Compatible With WM6.1
You Need To Flash The Extended Rom To Remove All The O2 Customisations.
Go Into Your Phone Options And Set The Band To Auto To Enable 3G/GPRS And Not Just GPRS. (GSM = GPRS & UMTS = 3G)
Download The HTC Network Settings Tool And It Will Configure Your Device With The Settings Required For Your Selected Network.
Hope That Solves Your Problems.

I tried to change the band from gsm to auto but it just goes back to gsm and greys all the boxes out! do I need to use that prog you gave the link to?
edit:think I got it to change the band to auto, still not on a 3g network but maybe I am outta range.
the device kept turning off like it was outta battery, but it said there was like 30% left, now im on mains power its workin ine.
can I flash th extended rom witout looisng all the settings and progs I've just loaded on?
I Believe So...
I Think You Can Just Make Sure Theirs No "radio_.nbf" (Radio Rom) Or "nk.nbf" (CE OS Rom) In The Flash Utility Folder.
Then Run The Flash Utility And Dont Perform A Hard Reset After Flashing.
It Should Then Only Update The Extended Rom. The Problem Is If You Have Already Let The Device Autoconfigure,
Alot Of The Crap From The Manufacturers Standard Rom Will Still Be Installed On Your Device.
The Best Way To Remove Would Be A Hard Reset But That Means Having To Reconfigure And Reinstall Etc.
Oh And To Answer Your Previous Question About The O2 Logo, Ranju's Rom Doesnt Flash That Area Of The Device Thus Leaving The O2 Logo Intact.
Their Are Ways To Customise This Logo If You Like.

I will have a tinker later on when im at home in front of my computer. Any idea why I can't get 3G reception? its enabled in the control panel.
So does anyone have any idea why I cant get 3G network reception? Im on radio 1.15 now.
For those of you who can get 3G reception...When you go to Settings>Phone>Network>(Network Selection) Manual...Does it show the regular networks (i.e 'Orange', 'O2 - UK' etc) AND the 3G network (i.e 'Orange 3G', 'O2 - UK 3G' etc)?
Sim Card Possibly.
No The Networks Are All Called The Same Its Just The Radio Bands Used To Connect Data Services That Differ.
Maybe Your SimCard Isnt A 3G Sim Or It Isnt 3G Enabled?
If The Sim Is Not A 3G Sim It Would Only Use GSM I Believe.

it is definstely a 3g card as it works in my other phone! does everyone get 3g reception on orange using a g3 o2xda with ranju rom and radio 1.15?
Isn't there ANYONE on orange in here??? I have had a look around and I think most of the Orange network runs on a 900MHz UMTS freqency. And it looks like the Uni only supports 1900MHz
UMTS on Ranju 7.7
I am on Orange, using Ranju 7.7 and radio 1.18. I had the same problem as you with the default Phone parameters, but I was able to change the band setting to "Auto" in the phone options. Thus GSM Band became "EGSM+DCS1800" and UMTS Band "UMTS 2100". And after a while the 3G icon appeared !
Universal bad for 3G
i can only say that universal has very bad 3g(UMTS connection) because when most other phones show 4 bars for 3g..my o2 exec only give 1 bar..but it is OK for 2g or GPRS...anyone agree??
Well I just flashed my voda v1640 with ranju v77 Rom, and shows good UMTS performance with italian "TIM" network, both for signal strength and for internet browsing.
the Radio is 1.14.10 (it should be the original one...)
Hey Folks,
I use Duttys Hybrid v2 (dutty i salute you) and got this Protocol Version : 25.74.40.02W. I remeber that i had a protocol version without W before various flashings but I cant figure out where i 'lost' it... But i need my old one back!
Why?
I cant get a 3G connection. From what i found here is the reason for this problem my Protocol version.
W means GSM (900/1800/1900) and UMTS (2100 anly)
H means GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) and UMTS (850/1900/2100Mhz)
I think that i need a protocol version with H or maybe even without any letter (like my original one was)
How can i do this?
I tried to flash some Radios like Niki, Polaris etc. but the Protocol Version stays the same....
Location:
Germany/Europe
thx for every little help
seems to me like the radio islocked or something. cause even when i tried to flash back to duttys FIRST hybrid release the kaiser stared to add a letter to the Protocol version which he never did when i used the hybrid v1 back in the day
Can you select Start->Settings->System->Device Information.
Then note and post the radio version, and we'll see who can help. You may have the 'radio from hell' flashed.
Atm i flashed to the shipped HTC
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_GER_3.28.407.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25
Radio in here is1.16.16.25
protocol 25.83.40.02H
But maybe i had that "'hell' radio before? is it a real radio or just called 'hell'?
sorry
radio is 1.65.16.25
protocol 25.83.40.02H

Hey ckain,
in your first reply you said that you have flashed a wrong protocol into your Kaiser. "I use Duttys Hybrid v2 (dutty i salute you) and got this Protocol Version : 25.74.40.02W"
In your last reply your settings are:
radio is: 1.65.16.25
protocol: 25.83.40.02H
With te "H"...
W means GSM (900/1800/1900) and UMTS (2100 anly)
H means GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) and UMTS (850/1900/2100Mhz)
Could it be that you don't see the 3G icon in the upper taskbar like the original taskbar does...?!
I've got the Dutch original HTC Rom radio: 1.65.16.25 & protocol: 25.83.40.02H
Greetz,
Nox
Yea i flashed from duttys v2 (with W) to the german shipped HTC original with a H.
With both versions i am not able to connect to 3G networks. I see the symbol but i have to disable 3G in commanager to get a connection established, which of course hasnt the 3G speed.
My UMTS sim card is working in other phones with 3G.
Correct me if i am wrong but i remember that protocol versions normally looked like 25.83.40.02. without W, H or any other letters?!
thx a lot for your help anyways
Well on my Kaiser I don't get the 3G icon. But my HSDPA icon is still running...
So on that approuch I think that if it could connect to HSDPA you also can connect to 3G.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: Also when I'm going to the setting, Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Connections, and want to change my T-Mobile Internet settings it says that he will make contact with a GPRS, 3G connection...
Are you able to place voice calls while on 3G, and if not see here.....

Thank you so much JohnJonsten. The link is my EXACT issue with the kaiser. cause like all of them i am not able to log in a 3G network....
thank you so much
Hi Guys,
I have just replaced my trusty Wizard (running Wizard Love ROM WM5 and working great on Orange UK) due to me damaging the external antenna plug which caused the whole phone to cease receiving a signal
I bought myself a replacement Wizard that has WM6.1 Pro ROM on it with HTC Touch Flo. I put my Orange SIM into it and cannot do much else now other than send & receive phone calls - no SMS, no GPRS, also cannot access the "phone" icon under the settings menu or even access the "SIM Manager" either.
Any ideas anybody? I suspect the Orange SIM myself!!
Many thanks in advance.
Mike.
Maybe your sim card is damaged in some strange way?
I'm not sure - the SIM works great in my other Wizard running WM5. In fact I had this same problem with my other unlocked Wizard, and it was only after changing to the "Wizard Love" ROM that it was sorted out.
I have read that it may be that the radio ROM needs updating - I don't really know.
I suspect there are other UK users out there on the Orange network who have WM6.1 running OK.
Cheers,
Mike.
Better check your SIM card in other phone for reliability ;] cheers
I have and the SIM works fine.
Although the OS is upgraded over what was on my previous Wizard, it would appear that the IPL/SPL and GSM are older versions on my replacement phone. Is it possible to upgrade these without affecting the WM6.1 install??
Cheers,
Mike.
After a lot of reading I seem to have now sorted out the problem.
I flashed a new radio ROM from 02.07.10 to 03.02.11. I put the SIM card back in and found I had a number of voicemail messages and SMS's waiting for me. No changes to any settings and I can now access SIM Manager etc, etc
I'm just happy that I'm back in communication!!
Well, further to the above I cannot now access GPRS or the MMS service.
I have tried all the GPRS settings from my older Wizard and flashed different Radio ROM's on my replacement Wizard. Now on Radio ROM 02.19.11 as I did read this seems the best one for the UK.
Anybody else on here use Orange (UK) for GPRS or MMS, and has it working so I can see where I'm going wrong??
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
I've done a lot of reading and had a play...seems to work now. I even have the "E" symbol on screen, so I'm getting an EDGE connection now that is a first!!
I was using CR86 Touch HD Cruise Edition, so I flashed XDA2's WM6.5 M2D ROM onto it instead. This then automatically picked up a GPRS/EDGE connection, but I could not access the SIM...I got the "the phone is not ready, wait 15 secs etc,etc" message. I then flashed the Radio ROM from 2.19.11 and took it up to 2.69.11 (I have previously tried 03.02.11, 02.37.11, 02.25.11, 02.19.11 to no avail)
Seems to work OK, I have sent & received a MMS messages & standard SMS now.
I just need to set up my email & sync my contacts (again)
