hi,
i've a big big problem. i made the official upgrade to WM6.1 for my tytn II (italian) but once finished it was set under HSDPA. I disabled HSDPA and i turned to 3G.
with the old rom (official wm6) i disabled 3G by setting GSM following this path:
Comm manager -> options -> phone -> banda (i don't know the english translation, i think is band). under that panel i selected GSM and the phone turned to GSM, with G icon in the home screen
if i do the same thing with the new rom the phone freeze, and 10-15 seconds after a message says: cant switch band, try later.
i tried many times but the problem remains, i also tried to install the rom update again and again.
can you help me? 3G doesn't work fine where i live, so it's important to set GSM
someone told me that changing the radio rom (it has the original one) can solve the problem, can you give me some advice?
thanks
Same thing happened to me, restarted and tried again and it worked.

different radios yeild different signal strengths depending on location. try different wm6.1 radios and see if there is one that gives you better connection strength. go here for a list of radios:

Hi all,
I've got a Vodafone (UK) v1240 (HTC Tornado Noble variant) running ericjm WM6 For Tornado - HTC Edition ROM and GSM.02.61.01 / SPL.2.00.0014.
Every day or two, the 'G' symbol disappears from the bar at the top of the Home screen and doesn't return. GPRS is unavailable until I use the connection manager to turn the radio off and back on again.
This is *really* annoying as I use push email on a daily basis and often find ActiveSync in 'waiting for network' mode, even though I'm in an area with a good signal.
I've tried the registry hack of setting GRPS to 'Always on' and renaming the 'SuspendResume' registry value - but that doesn't seem to help this issue.
I've seen a few other grumbles on this forum and around the www about this issue - but no firm solutions. Can anyone shed any light on this - or suggest a fix?
the GPRS issue is fixed with the latest radio ROM update, did you run phil's WM6GSMUpdate? If not, get it from my tutorial in my signature
Thanks for the response karhoe.
I did apply WM6GSMUpdate while following an install guide similar to yours for ericjm's WM6 For Tornado - HTC Edition ROM.
I'll try re-applying it, but I believe it is already in effect as my radio version states: 4.1.13.28_02.61.01
Any other ideas?
Try this
I have the same problem when i use andot's ROM. I have also upgraded the radio to 4.1.13.28_02.61.01, but still not solved.
Finally, after i change my ROM to NiTroGenious' WM6 English 5.2.1616.18120 ROM, and upgraded my SPL to 2.00.0014, the problem has been solved. I am not sure whether is the ROM or SPL solve the problem.
If you want to upgrade your SPL, please find the link under NiTroGenious's signatures.
One thing I have seen even in my own phone (running VJs ROM v3.2) that depending on what's being refreshed on my home screen, the "E" symbol will disappear. In that case, it's not that my GPRS connection has dropped, it's just that the top bar isn't refreshing to display the symbol. If I force a home screen refresh, lo and behold it's back again. Could that be what's happening with you?
Hi.
After some changes It seems the new version of bandswitch is compatible with HTC Polaris. Bandswitch is used to swith from 2g and 3g quickly with only one click, enabling to save bettery keeping in 2g and using 3g when needed.
Dani
Thank you, provides very good this application
thank you guy , it seem it work very good on my cruise !
Nice
I couldnt test it on this device because I dont own one but It seems the system to change the band is the same than kaiser, instead of Hermes....So I ve modified it to behave like if It detects the device is kaiser...
Dani
i got a problem, when people try to reach me they automatically get my voice mail (in normal phone settings) i also have problems calling myself (stops a few times and then after trying again suddenly connects). same with messages long delays in receiving and sending...
after setting the band to GSM they can reach me but i have the idea that i cant use 3g????
is there a problem with the phones function t switch between 2g and 3g and do i need this app (bandswitch) for it or is there something with my phone or my opperator-settings?
Hi.
It is operator issues. I have same problem here in Spain with Vodafone. But this problem doesnt happen with Movistar. Being in 2g, if gprs is connected AND there is data flow in that moment then if someone call me it appears as phone turned off. Some friends of mine are telecomunication eng. in vodafone and says Its the sw version of the system, but not related with the pda or its configuration.
Greetings
Dani
ok, thnx
sw version of the system? (do u mean software..)
but is there something my operator can do so it works or must i keep on switching myself in my phone settings?
or do u suggest to use bandswitch?
yes,software.
HTC roms allows to change the band but the process is slows(many clicks). Because of this bandswitch was borned. In fact if you see the first post (in hermes forum) I was searching for a today plugin to switch quickly the band. I didnt find any and I developed this tool. Other operator rom doesnt provide a way to switch the band. Why? I suppose 3G generates more data traffic and more meney for telcos so they fix their devices to 2G. SO you have to use other tools (like bandswitch or commmgrpro) to change the band.
Greetings
Dani
Hello Daniel,
Should V2.5 work with a Cruise that uses the Murata radio?
I dont know that ROM. Today will be out V2.6 beta. In this version I ve changed the way to manage connections because some devices (htc touch, samsung i780) doesnt implement correctly some RAS functions so I hope management connections works for these devices too..
Testers for bandswitch v2.6
Its a beta.
Connection management didnt work correctly on this device because a known problem in some RAS API functions didnt implemented.
http://www.commmgrpro.com/CommMgrPro/files/BandSwitch.V2.6.cab
Changes:
1) Connections management(Stablish, close) has been replaced with IpHelper API so It should work with HTC Touch, Samsung i780 and others. Can you test it?. It would be nice if It was tested with currently working devices (tynt, hermes, ....) and not working devices (touch).
2) Keyboard appears automatically on license and text controls.
3) Unsintall process backed up registry settings to other registry place. It was causing in some devices error uninstalling. It has been solved. When you install old version It can cause error but continues with the installing process.
Greetings.
DAni
pd. Testers will have free license, of course
Testing? Yes!
Hey Dani!
I`ve just downloaded the cab and test it now.
How could I give my feedback?

another Buttonbug?
Hey Daniel!
I turned off the Speaker for 30 Minutes with the switcher. After that the speakerbutton shows "Speaker off".
And after a softreset the UMTS GSM Buttons show automatic, but i switched to GSM permanently.
So far

When bs is shown the auto button is always focused because Its the first one but it doesnt mean the device is in auto mode. Look at the tray icon. g means gprs. a means auto, etc. I will take a look again to the speaker
Thanks!!
Touch Cruise rom udK R1:
I can't install it, keeps asking me for a serial number.
Once any version of bandswitch you ve 15 days to use it. The countdown doesnt stop even if you install other version. I will do a separate system for betas that doesnt watch if there was any other version installed some time...
2.6.1 works fine
Hey Daniel!
I just installed your new version and it works fine, the button behavior is fixed and i found no errors whit switching 2G/3G, speaker WiFi or BT.
All fine so far, but the beta expires in three days...

Hi guys,
I've got an AT&T branded HTC 8900 (tytn II, kaiser, what else).
Using it in Italy, with 3G provider (Wind).
I've updated it with Dutty V3. and radio i tried 1.27.12.11, -.17, -11.31... and my 3G (neither GPRS) connection doesn't work. When i try to connect the modem suddenly i get the “The answering modem has disconnected” than the “There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in to your registered home network” messages.
Before the update, the modem had worked fine with 3G connection, with original AT&T ROM.
Any suggestion?
TNX

I also have a problem with duttys v3 and 3g. I wrote about it in a diffrent thread already. i can make a connection but there is a certain "lag" when i try to request data from the internet. No Problems on GPRS though. Tried all the diffrent radio roms. no change. Operator is O2 Germany device is a HTC Tytn II. I got a new Sim card today, maybe this will improve the situation. The Sim has a diffrent contact-layout. Will try tonight.
I have the suspicion that S2U2 might cause the problem, but I am not sure. Do you use S2U2? If yes, what version?

No problems here, try delete all settings which auto connections done, delete all proxys reset and enter manual settings to see if it works then
Did you try disabling HSDPA?
Fixed!

I guess it was just a f#cking hidden setting!
Even if I removed all connection setting, it kept not working...
I've installed the removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522 cab, ( http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/ -> Kaiser Cab Collections )run, and after that it works fine!!
TNX!!
PS. HSPDA still enabled.
PPS. RADIO is again 1.27.11.31
Thanks Dutty! I tried your suggestion. I think it's a little better now but I still think the connection was more responsive in No.7 Rom. For example, when I log on to ICQ with IM+ it used to go straigt to a green "connected" icon. With v3 i get a yellow "connecting" icon for about 15 seconds and then the green one.
My new Sim card just got activated, but made no difference.
It's not that big of a deal for me, as my connection basicaly works.
I will test connection stabilty in he next couple of days.
Other than that v3 is great!! Thank you Dutty!
Are you planning on releasing a new Rom anytime soon?
Have a nice relaxing weekend Dutty!

However, i'm still not able to access tom tom plus server!!, any ideas?
Hi! I reflashed v3 and everything seemed fine again. However I now have a problem where I can't call or receive calls when on UMTS. All is fine when I am on GSM.
I tried Alex's Multimedia Rom (1.56)...same story there.
I now flashed the HTC Rom that came with my Tytn II and so far (2 hours including several test calls) everything seems normal again. Will try to flash v3 again maybe tonight.
Starting to see everything in tricolor ;-)

Nope problems catched up again...does anybody know, if it is better to remove the sim and/or turn off the phone radio before flashing radio roms?
Thanks! Brevi
Dear all,
maybe this is the same problem?

hi,
please see other posts by me(any way to link these threads moderators?) for other threads with similar issues. To clarify, if you revert back to your original rom, your 3G and phone calls work again? I started having problems with my 3G and phone functions about a week after I got my AT&T tilt..but after I changed to one of dutty's roms.
If I disable 3G via the comm manager, all works well, voice and data etc, but I can only do edge speeds. Unfortunately, I live 15 miles from the nearest 3G area so its hard fo me to experiment with roms and settings.
Also, to confuse things even more, one 3G area will still work for me while the network closer into to the Boston metro area won't, leading me to think that a network provisioning upgrade in the Boston area may be looking for something in the original AT&T rom that is now gone. I'm hoping not and that a phone upgrade or mother board swap will fix it(as others are reporting). I should do a revert back to the original rom and drive to my "test" area and see if 3G comes back...that would suck if it does...the stock roms are awful and about 5 years behind the time as far as user interface...like my old Ipaq.
I really like the dutty roms and may just live with edge speeds(dutty a donation will be forth coming once I settle in on a solution dude ).

I guess I tried everything by now...diffrent roms including HTC stock rom, radios, flashing radio with sim in/out.
But the problem always comes back.
About to call HTC support and send my Kaiser in for repair.
Hope it won't take too long, I am addicted to this fine device.
Already charged my old Hermes today. Oh my god the Kaiser is sooo much better compared to the Hermes it almost made me laugh ;-)
Hi guys, just flashed my first ROM and everything appears as it should phone wise except for the fact I have no service at all for my network (o2).
I am quite worried, i have already run the connection setup and restarted my device but nothing
When i flashed, i used the Polaris_WWE_0[1].67_Premium_bepe rom and Polaris_Radio_1.58.21.23
Please help quickly!
Have you tried reflashing or a hard reset to see if this solves the problem?
Sorted now!
I reflashed the radio ROM with a new version - still no luck.
Then i noticed a thread about problems with handsets in Russia receiving no signal after a re-flash and i downloaded a Radio that was suggested there.
Now my signal is back to normal!!!
Did the 02 customization run once you flashed the orbit 2, as I have flashed mine a few time and the customization run every time.
If it didnt I have the universal installer for putting the 02 setting back on.
Let me know.
Also have you checked in the Settings / Phone / Network for Network Selection should be on Automatic....

Hi thanks for your reply.
I dont know if you saw my above message but i got everything working ok, it was to do with the radio i installed. Basically it wasn't allowing me to pick up an O2 signal. I could find Orange and Vodafone though. I assume that the particular radio caused a weak signal in the UK and O2 coverage in my area must be quite poor.
When i installed the radio mentioned in the thread about Russian poor recpetion everything was good.
In my case the o2 customization did not run when i reflashed but maybe that was coincidental because i ran it manually and still no good.
I would be interested in having the universal installer to reset back to O2 just incase.
Would you be able to upload for me?
no service on o2
i have the same problem - what is the radio file that is recommended to flash?
It has been now 3 days till my kaiser's problem with 3G.....and only 3G.
it works fine when changing band to GSM but on 3G no service or service ok but no dialling process succeded....
notes:
1- i changed my radio tried 1.65 & 1.70 still same problem.
2- i changed my entire rom (6.0,6.1 & 6.5) still same problem.
3- i changed my sim with new one same problem.
4- i changed my network operator from etisalat to vodafone, still same problem.
5- i tried in different locations with N95 in other hand to check network.
Questions:
1- Does it hardware issue or software issue?
2- If software what is the solution?
3- If Hardware..does anyone had this issue and get it solved and.... for how much?....and does it happened again after fixing....as i read that it is expensive to fix...and it will happen again.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
