I've been using Dutty Hybrid 2.5 with radio 1.65.14.06 for months and all was fine. yesterday, i got no reception all of the sudden. i would get 5 bars and hsdpa for 30 sec or so and then i loose the signal completely for a few minutes. i did a hard reset...no luck. so now i just flashed about 10 different 6.1 radios. i either get reception, OR the camera works. none do both. i decided it had to be a problem with the rom. so i just flashed an L26 diamond rom. same thing. the fact that the the camera and the web/phone each work (with different radios ) makes me think this cant be a hardware issue.
Any Ideas?
You'd think that. But I honestly thing you have a Hardware issue. Due to the spontaneity of the first time this problem happened.
hmmm...
if it is a hardware problem...i guess i'll probably be going without the camera (its pretty weak anyways). still, it seems very strange that i could get everything working separately, although i dont fully understand the connection between the radio and the camera. this stinks. i'm also assuming that because i've flashed roms my warranty is void. does anyone have any other ideas as to what this might be?
JimmyMcGee is our expert in the discussion but i also favour your theory that its not a hardware issue because you are confirming that Phone or Camera work well using different radios and one of them get knocked under at the time... yeah
i am suspecting that you are using wrong radio for your roms look here
try official rom and how will kaiser react to it
if not revert stocked rom and stocked spl and Warranty will be restored check this
i had the same problem with one of Dutty's ROM last week. even flashed back to stock and had the same problem. i ended up getting a new phone.

Before i venture an idea here, i believe we need some more information:
1) Did you mean Dutty's 4/29 Hybrid v2 w/ 1.65.14.06
2) The list of "10 different WM6.1 Radios" that you tried and which ones got reception/camera worked.
3) Did you try a hard reset already, because you didn't mention it?
Typically the issue w/ the camera not working also means that while you may be able to hear sound on your phone, typically the other party can't hear you when you have the wrong radio installed, just as a side note.
If flashing back to a stock rom, and hard reset do not work, then i would take Jimmy's advice and just do a warranty exchange, as it probably is hardware related.
@Jimmy - did you hear that? "JimmyMcgee is our expert" nice to see someone showing you the proper respect
Serviced mine once due to this exact same thing.
One last thing you can try, go under band and put the first drop down menu to GSM.
If this doesn't help, you will have to service it.
It's some part that is made of lead that is veeeeeery cheap really
It get a little bent and they will straight it for you.
Happened twice with me, I eneded up changing the main board which was much better.
Then after 2 months of normal use and no problems, a guy wanted to buy it and he did.
Got myself a new one.
Don't worry if you are in warranty.
Do not forget to flash back the original ROM then Radio then SPL.
Oh, and Relock security if you unlocked it
Good luck
I would also venture that the Radio is not FULLY working, just partly, that's why sometimes the Calls work but no camera, and vice versa.
I'd say flash back to stock SPLs and Roms and Do a Warranty Exchange if you can.
Remember, You never flashed any ROMs.

I recently upgraded my phone to xplore and i was missing many many calls and not only that i never got the voicemail notifier. this went on for a wk then i upgraded to the new xplore that was released and still the same thing seems to be happening.
as well i cant seem to find the sim mananger on my phone. i am using the tmobile mda g3 verison. wm5 worked pretty well on mine, but as an american i must have the newer but it doesnt seem to be working.
More info please such as GSM version, overclock software, etc.
i am using cingular, nothing else done to the phone besides flashing the rom
Do you know what radio version (GSM) your using?
For Cingular, this 2.19.11 UK radio is the best.

Radio is not included in rom !
Only OS
I suggest if you have a problem with a rom, post that problem in that rom thread, like that you'll keep this forum clean.
Flash the tmobile 2.19 RADIO ONLY ROM you can find a link in the first post of the Xplore thread
HERE :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299470
Flashing the radio just updates the radio. You don't change your OS and don't loose anything. I am running Radio 2.19 on Cingular. It is the only one that seems to be working for WM6 and Cingular USA.
Radio 2.19 (changes only your radio)

I had the same problem with Cingular 8125, on Cingular U.S. network. Quit overclocking, flashed 2.19.11 UK Radio ROM (it works fine on U.S. network) and so far no problems. I'm using Wizard Mobile 6 Business Edition FINAL by jwzg, no resident apps except for X-Button.

I've got the same problem. Tried many roms and tried a couple off different Radio Roms. But the problem still exists. The wierd part is that first with a couple of WM5 roms the connection was lost, but now my phone says it has connection but some times people can't call me. But as soon as I use my fone (for a text or a call) then the connection is OK again and I'm available again.
I installed a new WM6 rom at a friend of mine he's got the same problem now.
Both using a WM6 Faria rom with a 2.19 radio rom.
Hope someone does know how this problem can be solved.

There's nothing to see .... it works.
All you guys should do some research before posting and blaming roms! No rom is perfect and works different on each device. Example: we both can have xplore installed and I have a problem with the keyboard and you don't.
If you guys are gonna report an issue and help make the rom better...cool
If you're gonna complain about what doesn't work....use your factory rom!
What you guys fail to realize is that this a developers site! Not a user site.
I don't get it. I don't think people in this treath go *****in that the rom is ****ed or something. There is a problem and there are more people with the same problem. I for example tried many roms and radio roms read loads and loads of topics but can't find a good explenation of what can cause this problem and how it can be fixed.
I love the work of all the rom cookers here and don't complain about that it is the fold of a rom cooker. But it is a problem I can't solve so there for there are forums like these where you can read and read, and when you still have no answer you can post a message. And that's what's happening here.

I totaly agree with you.
This site is called XDA-Developers , and if you people don't want to learn anything, but just copy a ROM, and go home, I would also suggest using an Official one.
Please tell me, what Provider is giving his customers this amount of free customer service ?
And you pay them, remember ? Not directly, but you do.
What I wanted to say is remember that this is provided "as is" and no warranties. Things may go bad. Like dwny said, same software can act different on some devices, and that's nobody's fault.
So far it has

I don't remmeber blaming anyone or the roms...I was just having a problem thought one of your developers might of found something that worked for them. I am reading everything that goes up in the Xplore threads.
Let's all just calm down.....
Guys, this is so not cool.....
Look, no one in this world knows everything about everything and everyone must start somewhere right? Old timers (relatively speaking), please lighten up on us intermediates and the newbs; you were once newbs too!
Newbs, they are right to an extent in that this is a development site and nothing is going to be easy about what we do here. There is no step-by-step guide! (i have found the hard way a few times). It takes time and dedication to get a lot of this stuff right and overall there is a great risk that something could go wrong or you could not get the same results as everyone else. But, if you weren't already interested you wouldn't be reading this! You gotta admit, it's good stuff.
Now, on to the issue here in the post. I wonder, are you syncing your calendar data with an exchange server or just outlook? When you sync your data and look at the data on your phone does it mark your appt times as busy? Have you checked your phone network forwarding settings (in phone app go to options if you haven't found it) and tried forwarding your busy calls to another phone number that you have near you and see if this might be the issue. I had to do this with a couple of ROMs that I have tried as when my calendar saw me as busy the phone would not ring! If this works, then in the future one easy to get around this to either A: Mark yoour appt times for now on as "Free" or B: forward busy calls to secondary phone if you are a slave like me who has to also carry a crack-berry (loath even the thought of that evil thing!)
Just an idea.... Please let me know if this helps. I actually found this in a post a while ago myself but I can't find it anymore.
I'm calm
I wasn't upset when I wrote the post above, so chill. I will see what I can find out.

Usually because you get a voicemail notification and you never heard the phone ring. This happens to me sometimes. Does anyone know if there is any coralation with missing calls and GPRS always turned on? Do the people who are missing calls have that option enabled?
****
My phone seems to have given up the ghost. A few days after having put on the excellent Q-Mobile system. My phone has refused to boot properly. Heres what happens:
In start up from Soft reset, or Power off, i get the tricolour screen saying:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0 OliPof
CPLD-8
a few2 lines benath that is written 'Serial'
it then flashed onto a white screen saying 'loading......no image file' - this all takes about a second.
And then it rests on the screen mentioned above.
I haven't dropped it or done anything other than flash- correctly.
AAAARGH! it does randomly decide to boot up properly after its been left of for a whil if that helps.
Also - active synch wont recognise it , in the tr-colour state.
HELP!!!
Just bring it back to the store and claim your warranty.
If they start asking questions just say that you are unaware of any software change, act like your life depends on it
European law states that every device should have a 2 year warranty.
Try a hard reset...
Hold down the two so-called "soft buttons" at the bottom of the screen while pressing the reset button with the stylus.
I feel your pain man!

Its all well and good to pump your favorite ROM, but don't give bad advice. This sounds like a hardware issue to me (usually intermittent things like this are). I recommend the same as a user above...go claim your warranty and be on the safe side.
FYI there's absolutely nothing in any ROM (including mine) that should make your device do this.

Connect phone to PC with a usb cable.
Does the word "Serial" on the phone display change to "USB"?
If not you are in trouble and you have to send it to service.
But if it shows USB you can flash any ROM update.
thanks for all the help
Its sorted now, and i'm running a perfectly stable Q Mobile. Its really nice not being 'Dutty-Centric'. In response to the person that said upgrade to Dutty V3, it was bad advice for another reason. It would have been incompatible with my radio. Only AT&T versions work on my uk orange tytnII i've got the ...14.09 radio.
anyways - thanks for intervening Quentin and well done its a brilliant ROM

Did I read that right? How have you got a 14.09 radio on your orange UK tytn II. Did it come like that or did you flash the radio?
Edit: sorry for the 20 questions but Its the first I've heard of an orange uk tytn 2 haveing the 14.09 radio.
I have been having a lot of distortion problem with my Vox. So help me out. Currently I am using 4.1.13.60_03.18.90.
Kindly vote and tell your experience with different versions.
I never had any problems with 03.10.90! But then again my state is fairly good covered (Saxony). I think only like 2% of the area is not covered with GSM (and lately more and more with EDGE too)!
I plan on giving a thorough test of all the later versions once I re-assemble my mobile. I also noticed high distortion on 4.1.13.60_03.18.90 immediately after flashing. I am led to believe this was a small reason my ear piece failed, the distortion and higher volume 'popped' in and it would no longer function properly, heck, it could also have been since it was quite old too.
Anyways, for good measure I will be reverting to 4.1.13.47_02.98.90, I never had issues with the radio shipped from the factory and coverage was no problem. I suggest you downgrade before any hardware has a chance at being ruined.
h4waii is true. I have installed several radios and I have found 4.1.13.47_02.98.90 the best especialy for areas with weak signals.

I read your thread that you are reassembling your phone. I hope you will put a video guide for others too. That will be very useful.
I was reading through forum and I came across a post in which he had said that he pulled out the battery and put it after a few hours and things were back to normal. Well I tried it and I dont know what is the logic but it worked. Still echos on high volume but other reception distortion is gone.
Can radio damage your phone? Mine was shipped with v4.1.13.54_03.10.90.

You have cooked a lite rom and it is not with latest XIP. Why you and Gonzo are not updating their Roms. Lefab also not working on WM6.1 Rom. Only one working is Hikey, and he does not have a thread here. I requested him in post but he refused by saying their are already too many roms here. Is it possible to hope that one of you will bring a clean Rom with latest XIP. New XIP is much faster.
i use v4.1.13.60_03.18.90
I have never noticed this distortion you mention
I can tel you why I never did continue cooking. There are three reasons:
1) I simply got tired. It is in fact a quite annyoing process. Espacially working on a 96dpi ROM, everytime you fixed something another problem turns up.
2) I experimented with OSs on my computer (from XP to Vista to Server 2008 to Vista and in the end of the week back to XP - the switching back is due to hardware problems) lol And cooking under anything else then XP is not quite safe and I experienced more problems under Vista!
3) Nobody ever requested a new updated Lite ROM (at least until now ^^) because people usually just download the stuff and don't report back unless there is a problem (you get sick of that too!)
Hey I will have time next week, so I will probably make Lite 3.0 with new XIP...the problem is that I don't have the Sys and OEM folders anymore, so I will have to start from scratch...

Hmmm you are quite right about the feedback thing. If you work hard on something it no one appreciates it obviously it hurts.
Well atleast I will wait for your new rom. I hope you do something about java. Add jebed or provide link to cab for you new rom.
I did tried your rom, I would have kept it but new XIP is much faster so I had to switch.
@tipu2185;
While a radio in itself can't really damage your hardware, issues caused by it can. Such as high distortion and crackling, this can ruin a speaker. With the right software, hardware can be destroyed.
I've already re-assembled the Vox after replacing both the vibrate motor and the inner ear piece. It's fairly straight forward. I didn't bother to take any pictures as there is a service manual which indicates step-by-step how to do this.

You might want to word your sales pitch a bit differently

Well, I have had it with this TC. I have tried flashing a new Radio, tried Murata's ( I didnt try a new ROM cause I dont think it will make much difference). I purchased a new bluetooth headset.
And nothing has worked to stop the choppiness and static to my headset. I'm convinced now that it is a hardware problem. Its not that it doesnt work but it is just annoying. Maybe it is probably the phone size and the antenna isnt as big....whatever the case I'm done.
I'm selling this damn thing.
So before I post online....I thought I might offer it to anyone interested in buying it here.

There are to many ROM's on this forum, and I havent found a ROM that might address my particular bluetooth fix. I'm certain HTC pushed out some crappy roms but I'm not sure if this is a ROM problem or an hardware problem.
Besides, I'm trying to find this one post that has a list of all the available ROMs to see if the OS I'm using in there. But I cant locate it anywhere.

I think it's time you bring it to your local Verizon store and show them. Tell them "Look, I turn on the phone, and I can't use it!" I'm guessing they're smart enough to realize you need a replacement because that's not normal. I'm sure they'll give you another replacement.
If they don't, flash a ROM and see if it works. If everything works with the custom ROM, then it was obviously a Verizon stock ROM flaw (which I doubt since this doesn't seem common).
Yea, I had to pay for my first replacement ($50)
I hear the official 6.5 is out, where can I find that?
Also, I don't know the first thing about flashing phones with custom ROMs

Officially, WM6.5 for the TP2 is for the Unlocked GSM European TP2. It's only for GSM networks, though (you have CDMA, so you can't flash that!).
Custom ROM flashing: I learned from a pictorial. Just follow everything! Always flash a CDMA Rhodium/TP2 ROM (you can find those at PPCGeeks) to your Verizon/Sprint/Telus TP2.
Most ROMs are not going to be suited for your phone (keyboard), so some fixes are found here.
Some of the famous CDMA ROMs are MightROMs and EnergyROMs. Find one that suits you!
*CDMA = Sprint/Verizon/Telus
GSM = Unlocked/Tilt2/T-Mobile* ROMs are made specifically for one network, and a particular device. So, never flash a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone, and never flash a TP1 ROM to a TP2.
Good luck!

Actually, the US Cellular TP2 also comes with 6.5. If you don't have a US Cellular phone though, you still can't flash it and will need a custom rom.
Wow, you guys are extremely helpful over here.
So I should flash it, or ask for a new one?

I heard about that. However, like you said, it wouldn't be great with a Verizon phone since I doubt there's an official ROM floating around (there would be a ROM dump on PPCGeeks) but why would anyone want a stock ROM to replace a stock ROM?!

Ask for a new one first because we don't know if the issue you have is due to faulty hardware or software. If it's hardware, a new ROM can't do anything. If it was software or firmware(ROM), then a new ROM should be able to fix it.
If you ever need to return the phone and it has a custom ROM, you will have to re-flash the stock ROM found at thewingster. You will then have to follow the steps to return stockSPL (very bottom of the post). If you don't do these return-to-stock steps, Verizon wouldn't accept it!
Got my new one in the maill today, for free.
Thanks guys.

I'm guessing wait 'til the weekend arrives. Use the phone hardcore! If anything goes wrong with it for the next few days, at least you can return it again.
If you're truly desperate, I guess you could flash!
lol there's hardcore ways to use our phone? I thought it was bad-ass all around.
Is there an ETA of when Verizon's TP2 6.5 is suppose to arrive? I thought it was December/January :\
It's out... check out the thread over at PPC Geeks.
Got it. Thanks
